We supply these as precompiled [http://svn.orxonox.net/ogre/binaries/VisualStudio8/ archives] (take the newest ones) with the lib, dll, debug symbols and include files all at once.

+    Default build configuration was ''Debug''. You can also choose ''Release'' in the little bar underneath the menu. ''Release'' is a lot faster, but debugging isn't recommended at all. Also consider that you need to build everything twice.
