(5’) In the ”File” menu click on ”New”
(6’) Choose ”C++ Source File” in ”Files”, fill in the file name, and click ”OK”
(7’) Enter your code
(8) In the ”Project” menu click on ”Settings”
(9) Choose ”C/C++”:
• Enter in ”Project Options” the compiler flag you want to use. The default value
is ”/MLd”, alternatives are ”/ML”, ”/MD”, ”/MDd”, ”/MT”, and ”/MTd”.
Notice that you have to use the LEDA libraries that correspond to the chosen
flag, e.g., with option ”/MD” you must use leda md.lib and leda md.dll.
Using another library/DLL pair with ”/MD” could lead to serious linker errors.
• Add in ”Preprocessor definitions” the compiler flag "LEDA DLL".
(10) Choose ”Linker” and add the name of the LEDA library you want to use at the
beginning of line ”Object-/Library-Modules” as follows. We use to indicate
the compiler option chosen in Step (9) (, e.g., is mld for ”/MLd”):
• leda .lib
for programs not using GeoWin.
• libGeoW .lib leda .lib
for programs using GeoWin .
Alternatively, you can include in your program and
the correct LEDA library is linked to your program automatically. If GeoWin is
used you need to add " LINK GeoW" to the ”Preprocessor definitions” in Step (9).
