Graphics c++ first time .... please help?

I am a beginner in c++ programming, and i have found a good tutorial for making graphics using direct x with visual c++ 6.....


We have to download two libraries : d3dx8.lib and d3d8.lib


and not any newer or older version.... So, I want someone to tell me where to download them... and how to use them in my program ( Do we just include them and that's it?) .... Please answer in details.......





Also, if you know another easy c++ graphics tutorial, tell me ;)

Typically the libraries are added to your the 'lib' directory. Then the header file is added to your 'include' directory. I'm not sure exactly where those would be in visual C++, but maybe looking somewhere for those directories will help.





Try checking out the directx page, also. I think you need the entire SDK, but I have no clue as I do most of my development on linux using glut/opengl.
