title: How to link sodium to my C program
body: <p>I need to implement some of the functions from the libsodium library in my C code, which is compiled in visual studio. I downloaded all the libsodium precompiled binaries files that I need and put them in the right folders. In order to link to libsodium I tried to follow the instructions here <a href="https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/content/usage/" rel="nofollow">https://download.libsodium.org/libsodium/content/usage/</a> , and yet the compiler does not recognize the commands from libsodium library. I have no experience with linking libraries in C. Should I add something in the compiler options or the linker options? how do I do it in visual studio? Also, in the link above, it is mentioned that I have to add two extra definitions of SODIUM_STATIC = 1 and SODIUM_EXPORT = (Here, they do not mention a number). Where exactly should I define these values?</p>
