Hi,
Try this out:
From the menu bar select the "Project"
menu.  Select the "Settings..." option.  In the left hand side of the
"Project Settings" window is a tree of the files in your project.  The
name of your project should be already highlighted, but if it isn't,
you can single click the project name to select it. In the right hand
of the window is a set of tabs, each with different options for your
project. Select the "C/C++" tab. At the top of this set of options is a
menu ring where you can select a "Category". Select "Preprocessor" from
this menu ring. Under the text box for "Additional include directories"
you want to type the path to your include folder in the NI-IMAQ
directory. (For example, the path I used was "C:\Program Files\National
Instruments\NI-IMAQ for IEEE-1394\include".) This sets up the location the header
files for the example.
Next, select the "Link" tab. This will also have
a "Category" menu ring. Select "Input" from the menu ring. Under the
text box for "Additional library path" you want to type the path to
your lib folder in the NI-IMAQ For IEEE 1394 directory. (For example, the path I used
was "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ for IEEE-1394\lib\msvc".) This
sets up the location of the library file "niimaq1394.lib" for the example.
