How does the SDK work?

[travkliewer]

I know how to program c++ so that's not a problem. But all the SDK is a bunch of c++ files and headers. So, does anyone have any idea what I'm suppose to do with those? Or at least point me to a thread where that is discussed? Thank you.

EDIT: Actually, let me be more specific. I know a little bit how to write windows applications with MFC and visual studios .net. I'm familiar with c++ but just enough to get me by. I'm willing to figure it out though.

You should check this thread as it has what you need to use the SDK. More importantly this tells you how to use the free method rather than getting the pricey Visual Studio 2003(Its the one Civ4 was made with.).
