- You'll find Visual Studio project files in sub directory
- <filename>win</filename>. Open workspace <filename>yazxx.dsw</filename>
- which includes the following projects:
+ YAZ++ is shipped with "makefiles" for the NMAKE tool that comes
+ with <ulink url="http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/">
+ Microsoft Visual Studio</ulink>.
+ Version 6 and .NET has been tested. We expect that YAZ++ compiles
+ with version 5 as well.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Start a command prompt and switch the sub directory
+ <filename>WIN</filename> where the file <filename>makefile</filename>
+ is located. Customize the installation by editing the
+ <filename>makefile</filename> file (for example by using notepad).

+ The following summarizes the most important settings in that file:

<para>
- By default, the include path and library path for the projects assumes
- that YAZ is located in <filename>..\yaz</filename>
- (i.e. same prefix as the YAZ++ source).
- If YAZ is in a different directory you'll have to modify
- the include path in
- <literal>Project | Settings | C/C++ | Preprocessor | Additional include
- directories</literal>
- and library path in
- <literal>Project | Settings | Link | Input | Additional library
- path</literal>.
+ When satisfied with the settings in the makefile, type
+ <screen>
+ nmake
+ </screen>
+ </para>
+ <tip>
+ <para>
+ If the <filename>nmake</filename> command is not found on your system
+ you probably haven't defined the environment variables required to
+ use that tool. To fix that, find and run the batch file
+ <filename>vcvars32.bat</filename>. You need to run it from within
+ the command prompt or set the environment variables "globally";
+ otherwise it doesn't work.
+ </para>
+ </tip>
+ <para>
+ If you wish to recompile YAZ++ - for example if you modify
+ settings in the <filename>makefile</filename> you can delete
+ object files, etc by running.
