Howdy everyone.

I am working through this how-to, to get crypto++ available to import into my ue4.10.1 project:

> **[Compiling and Integrating Crypto++ into the Microsoft Visual C++ Environment...](http://programmingknowledgeblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/compiling-and-integrating-crypto-into.html)**
>
> Free tutorials and reference manuals with examples for Java, C++, C, C#, Html, javascript, python, node.js, qt, linux, ubuntu, windows, android.

Everything is working as expected until step 6.

When I right click on my project and select properties, there is no “linker” tab available.

Suggestions? Anyone using this library able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks

It won’t work UE4 has it own build system UBT and it ignores all VS configuration, you can configure it in build scripts of your game project and C++ modules
