Library Building Guide


Requirements

In order to build OpenPTC for Windows you need a copy of Visual C++ 6.0. You cannot build the library with any other compilers, even though you can use the library from several compilers, only Visual C++ 6.0 is supported for actually building the library.

Also, please note that "ptc.dll", "ptcdebug.dll" and "hermes.dll" are distributed prebuilt with OpenPTC for Windows. You do not have to build the library yourself in order to use OpenPTC. In fact, if you build your own library, you will most likely have to leave out a lot of cool features such as java support, so it is not recommended.


1. Configure Java support


2. Build "ptc.dll" and "ptcdebug.dll"


3. Build "hermes.dll"
