How do I include external libraries like ImageMagick to Plato.
All I find are ways to include project items.
Can someone help me?

You have to do this in the Project::Properties.

Go to Linker Options::Extra Linker Options and put in the name of the library file. If it has spaces in the name, enclose it in double quotes.

If you are using a DLL, you'll also need to make it available as an Import Library.

Under Compiler Options::Source, select Import Libraries and enter the name of the DLL. Again, if the file name contains spaces, enclose the name in double quotes.

A more direct way is to use the Project Explorer window and right click on References. Then add a reference to the library using the dialog.
