- How to use YACL with Microsoft Visual C++
- Last update: October 19th, 1996
-
-
- This file provides directions on how to build YACL and its demo programs
- using Microsoft Visual C++.
-
- Caveat: YACL cannot be built with the Win16 versions (1.52 and earlier) of
- Visual C++, because those versions do not have adequate support for
- templates. I have tested YACL with VC++ version 2.1 under Windows NT version
- 3.51.
-
-
- Here are the steps:
-
- 0. Create and change into the directory you want to install YACL in.
- For example, in an NT command window:
-
- md c:\yacl
- c:
- cd \yacl
-
-
- 1. Unzip the file YACL0160.ZIP, preserving directories. For example:
-
- unzip yacl0160.zip
-
- or, if you use pkunzip under DOS:
-
- pkunzip -d yacl0160.zip
-
- 2. Set the environment variable YACLPATH to point to the
- directory in which yacl was unzipped, e.g.,
-
- set YACLPATH=c:\yacl
-
- 3. Modify the control file. Edit the file control/msvcpp.ctl. In that
- file, set the variable MSVCPATH to point to the bin directory of the
- compiler. Its default setting in that file is f:\msvc20.
-
- 4. Make sure that the directory containing nmake is in your PATH. For
- example, if you have installed VC++ in e:\msvc20, then make sure
- that e:\msvc20\bin is in your PATH.
-
- 5. Build the libraries. CD into the directory you chose in step 0
- and issue the make command in an NT command window, type
-
- nmake -f msvcpp.mak
-
- 6. Poke around in the directory structure under basedemo and
- uidemo; build and try out the programs there using the make
- files provided. Each directory in uidemo and almost every directory
- in basedemo contains a VC++-specific makefile named msvcpp.mak
- which can be used for building the demo. I have provided makefiles
- for most of the base demos but not all because most, if not all, the
- base classes are heavily used in the UI classes.
-
-
-
- You can also build a debug version of the library via the command
-
- nmake -f msvcpp.mak "DEBUG=-DDEBUG"
-
