Re: where is wininet.lib coming from?

Thanks for your help in this and other posts.

I'm really starting to get a "grip" on how things work and have configured
my own CEC file to compile and include custom drivers in an image. I did
some reading on the SDK about how to include additional files in an SDK. The
only thing I saw was that I could include a directory which contain the
file(s) that I want included. However, in one situation, I am trying to
include just the windev.h header file. Is it possible to include (specify)
just that file out of the directory which contains many, many header files.
It's either that or I need to add a copy command to my cec file to copy out
the header file to a "working" directory to include.

Thanks,
