a) Visual C++ 4.x/5.0/6.0
- You can skip this step because OpenPTC for Windows comes with import libraries for Visual C++ in the "libraries/visual" directory.
b) Other compilers
- Import libraries are not included for compilers other than Visual C++.
- Don't worry, its simple to generate the import libraries for your compiler.
- Read the Compiler Instructions page for more information.
a) Visual C++ 5.0/6.0
- You can build the example programs by opening up the "Examples.dsw" directory in the "Examples" directory.
- To build the demo programs open up the "Demos.dsw" workspace file in the "Demos" directory.
- You can move between separate projects in the workspace using "Set Active Configuration" in the build menu. This is how you can choose which executable you want to build and run. If you have the project view window open, you can right click on the project name in the class view or file view tree and select "Set as Active Project" to make that the current project to build and run.
- See the Compiler Instructions page for more information.
b) Other compilers
- Read the Compiler Instructions page for information on how to build the example and demo programs with your compiler.
a) Visual C++ 5.0/6.0
- Read the 'How to create your own projects inVisual C++' tutorial for instructions on how to setup your own project and workspace for Visual C++ and OpenPTC.
b) Other compilers
- Study the batch files for your compiler in the "scripts" directory. You can either choose to use these batch files as is, modify them to suit your needs, or setup your own batch files, makefiles, projects or whatever for your compiler.
- See the Scripts Guide for more information.
