Version 5.0 The LEDA User Manual

1. Change the file autoexec.bat as follows:
If a variable PATH, INCLUDE, or LIB is already set, append the appropriate
LEDA directory , respectively \incl.
Otherwise add a corresponding line to autoexec.bat:
set PATH=
set INCLUDE=\incl
set LIB=
2. Restart Windows 95/98 for the change to take effect.
After these procedures, it suffices to call VCVARS32.BAT at the command prompt.
In both cases the LEDA paths are automatically appended to the compiler paths.
(c) Compiling and Linking Application Programs:
After setting the environment variables, you can use the LEDA libraries as follows
to compile and link programs.
Programs not using GeoWin:
cl -DLEDA_DLL -Tp prog.c
Programs using GeoWin:
cl -DLEDA_DLL -Tp prog.c
Possible values for are ”-ML”, ”-MLd”, ”-MD”, ”-MDd”, ”-MT”, and ”-
MTd”. You have to use the LEDA libraries that correspond to the chosen ,
e.g., with option ”-MD” you must use leda md.lib and libGeoW md.lib. Using
another set of libraries with ”-MD” could lead to serious linker errors.
Remark: The option -Tp is necessary if the C++ source code files have extension
.c. If your files have extension .cpp this option is not necessary.
Example programs and demos
The source code of all example and demo programs can be found in the directory
\test and \demo. Goto and type make test or make demo to compile
and link all test or demo programs, respectively.
