What just happened?

So far you have created your solution with the OSG wizard and also established a ready-to-use working environment. Try programming and debugging the example code, then open the project property page, and have a look at the pre-configured items in C/C++ | General | Additional Include Directories, Linker | General | Additional Library Directories, and Linker | Input | Additional Dependencies, which will be useful for constructing your own project in the next chapter.

A non-Windows or non-Visual Studio developer will never see the wizard interface and thus is not necessary to have the related installer option selected.

Do you still have problems compiling the "Hello World" example In Chapter 1, The Journey into OpenSceneGraph? Now it is time to finish this work with the help of the Visual Studio wizard. You may also compare your own project's properties with the ones in the generated project, and try to point out problems, if any.
