Developer Guide for Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives Cryptography 2019
Linking Your Microsoft* Visual Studio* Project with Intel IPP Cryptography
To link your Microsoft* Visual Studio* IDE project with Intel IPP Cryptography, follow these steps:
Set the Path for the Intel IPP Cryptography header and library files in Microsoft* Visual Studio* IDE:
Right click your project, then select
Properties >
Configuration Properties >
VC++ Directories.
Select the
<Edit...> option in drop down list of
Include Directories, click the
New Line button to add a new line and select the
include subdirectory of the
<ipp cryptography directory> folder.
For example, the default Intel IPP Cryptography header file directory is located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_<version>\windows\ippcp\include.
Select the
<Edit...> option in drop down list of
Library Directories, click the
New Line button to add a new line and select the
lib subdirectory of the
<ipp cryptography directory> folder.
For example, the default Intel IPP Cryptography directory is located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\compilers_and_libraries_<version>\windows\ippcp\lib\<arch>_win, where
<arch> can be
ia32 or
intel64.
Link the Intel IPP Cryptography library into your project:
Right click your project, then select
Properties >
Configuration Properties >
Linker >
Input.
Select the
<Edit...> option in drop down list of
Additional Dependencies and enter the filename of the Intel IPP Cryptography library you wish to use.
For example, enter
ippcp.lib for dynamic linking or
ippcpmt.lib for static linking.
Optional: Add the Intel IPP Cryptography dynamic library to your executable environment (for DLL)
You can add the path to the Intel IPP Cryptography dynamic-link library to your
PATH environment variable permanently by following these steps:
Open the
Start menu and click the
Control Panel icon in the
Windows System group.
Select
Large icons in the
View by: drop-down list, then find and click
System.
Click
Advanced system settings in the column on the left side of the window.
Select the
Advanced tab and click the
Environment Variables... button.
Select the
Path variable in the list of user or system variables and click
Edit....
Append
;<install_dir>\redist\<arch>\ippcp\ to the contents of the
Variable value field and click
OK.
Alternatively, to launch the Microsoft* Visual Studio* IDE from a preconfigured command line environment:
Run
ippcpvars.bat
<arch> from the directory
<ipp cryptography directory>\bin\ in a command window.
Start
<Microsoft Visual Studio>\IDE\devenv.exe in the same command window.
