Goal
Demonstrate what settings are needed for linking to the ros sdk.
Project
So far we've only had experience setting up simple Win32 projects (apps/libraries). If you have had success setting up other types of projects, please document that here.

Project Settings
There are three project settings that you'll need to modify:
C++->General->Additional Include Directories
Linker->General->Additional Library Directories
In both of these cases, simply point to the appropriate boost and ros-sdk directories that you wish to use.
Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies
Simply include any ros libs you intend to depend on here. As an example, on my system:
Additional Include Directories:
C:\ros-sdk\debug\include;%PROGRAMFILES%\boost\boost_1_44;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)
Additional Library Directories:
C:\ros-sdk\debug\bin;C:\ros-sdk\debug\lib;%PROGRAMFILES%\boost\boost_1_44;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)
Library Dependencies:
....;ros.lib;log4cxx.lib;cpp_common.lib;rosconsole.lib;roscpp_serialization.lib;roslib.lib;rostime.lib;XmlRpc.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)
Coming soon...
