Compiling and Linking Application Programs in a DOS-Box
(a) Setting the Environment Variables for Visual C++:
The compiler CL.EXE and the linker LINK.EXE require that the environment variables
PATH, INCLUDE, and LIB have been set properly.
When Visual C++ was installed, setup created a batch file, VCVARS32.BAT, containing
commands to modify PATH, LIB, and INCLUDE. Run VCVARS32.BAT at the command
prompt before you compile your application program. VCVARS32.BAT is located in
the \bin subdirectory of your compiler installation, e.g., c:\programs\microsoft
visual studio\vc98\bin.
To compile programs together with LEDA, the environment variables PATH, LIB,
and INCLUDE must additionally contain the corresponding LEDA directories.
