Oculus sdk setup with visual studio 2015

Hi

A few weeks ago I set up visual studio 2015 to be able to use the 0.8 sdk using a guide I read located (I think) somewhere from here:

https://developer.oculus.com/

It had info such as what include's to specify in visual studio project properties dialog boxes etc, linker dependencies etc...

.. basically everything that enabled a beginner to do a simple

ovrResult result = ovr_Initialize(nullptr);

However I can't seem to find it now :oops: , could someone kindly provide me with a link to what i'm after please?

EDIT:

it was this:

https://github.com/dleen/Minimal-Oculus ... tion-0.4.x

It'd be great if there was such an example updated to use the 0.8sdk.

    Excellent, thanks.

    I've updated your original minimal oculus example (the 1 just showing tracking data in a console window) to use the 0.8 sdk. ovrFrameTiming is the only thing that's not in it yet (although it runs fine), I wonder if this is still available in 0.8? Or have i missed an include somewhere or something...

    actually i see it's not in https://developer.oculus.com/doc/0.8.0. ... ource.html but is in https://developer.oculus.com/doc/0.7.0. ... ource.html What replaces is it? Is it needed (must be)?

    If you want, I can provide details on what i did, to get the minimal oculus example working with 0.8sdk on windows 7 (not sure if windows os makes a difference here)?
