ADFlib build tips

Unix/Linux

You need a shell environment as the Makefile spawns shells scripts.

Also the path needs to include "." as the makefile expects this

If using version 7.12 auto* toolkits are required, assuming Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install libtool
sh autogen.sh
env LANG=c ./configure
env LANG=c make

TinyCoreLinux:

• compiletc
• automake
• libtool

NOTE requires slight patches and change to build procedure:

Windows

Nmake files are present as of March 2010 in the ADFLib CVS repo.

mkdir Bin\Win32\Debug
nmake /f dynlib.mak

Project (dsp) files are for MSVC 6.0, can use .net 2003 (project files need upgrading by MS Studio).

NOTE the dll name appears to be adflibD.dll, note the D which is upper case here for clarity but is lowercase in the file system. pyadf expects the dll to be called adflib.dll

Consider using http://coapp.org approach to making Windows versions of the adf dll.
