yes i know this guide, but the guide ist superficial for me.
Have i to include the compiled DLL-Libraries? Or the uncompiled Header-Files?
An how did i use the included libraries in my project?

What do you mean by it's superficial ? With that you have everything set to start using a 3rdparty library.

Also, are you asking for sample code for NSS ? If so there are some here provided by Mozilla.

yes but have i to link against the header-files of NSS or should / must i compile the NSS library first and then link against the compiled NSS-DLL-library files?

Thanks for the Link with the example code.

Build the NSS library, link against the .lib file (not the dll) and include the headers

thanks, i will try it.
@VRonin do you have experience in compiling NSS on Windows?

No but looking at the doc it's just a call to make: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/NSS_Sources_Building_Testing

i compiled nss successfully and tried to do a little test (see here: https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/nss_sample_code/NSS_Sample_Code_sample4)

I linked the nss3.lib dynamically by adding them as external library.

But inside the folder which results when compiling nss there is no "nss.h" header file?
From where did i get them? And there are other missing headers?

@Opa114 The header files should be in the nss source code directory
