(9b) Click on ”C/C++” and ”Preprocessor” and add ";LEDA DLL" in ”Preprocessor Definitions”.
(10) Click on ”Linker” and ”Command Line” and add the name of the LEDA libraries
you want to use in ”Additional Options” as follows. We use to indicate the
compiler option chosen in Step (9) (, e.g., is mld for ”/MLd”).
• leda .lib
for programs that do not use GeoWin
• libGeoW .lib leda .lib
for programs using GeoWin
Alternatively, you can include in your program and
the correct LEDA libraries are linked to your program automatically. If GeoWin is
used you need to add " LINK GeoW" to the ”Preprocessor definitions” in Step (9).

(12) In the ”Tools” menu click on ”Options”

\incl containing the LEDA include files (Double click on the small rectangle

(17) In the ”Build” menu click on ”Build ¡Project¿ ” or ”Rebuild ¡Project¿” to compile
your program.
(18) To execute the program ”prog.exe” Windows needs to have leda .dll in its
search path for DLL’s. Therefore, you need to do one of the following.
• Copy leda .dll to the bin\ subdirectory of your compiler or the directory
containing ”prog.exe”.
• Alternatively, you can set the environment variable PATH to the directory containing
leda .dll as described below.
(19) In the ”Build” menu click on ”Execute prog.exe” to execute your program.
Remark: If your C++ source code files has extension .c, you need to add the option ”/TP”
in ”Project Options” (similar to Step (9)), otherwise you will get a number of compiler
errors. (Click on ”C/C++” and ”Command Line”. Add /TP in ”Additional Options” and
click ”Apply”.)
