Version 5.0 The LEDA User Manual

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 libGeoW md.lib. Using
another set of libraries with ”/MD” could lead to serious linker errors.
Examples of workspaces can be found in the directory \demo\msc 70 workspaces.
To add LEDA to an existing Project in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, start the Microsoft
Visual Studio with your project and follow Steps (8)–(16) above.
Compiling and Linking Application Programs in a DOS-Box
(a) Setting the Environment Variables for Visual C++ .NET:
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++ .NET was installed, setup created a batch file, VSVARS32.BAT,
containing commands to modify PATH, LIB, and INCLUDE. Run VSVARS32.BAT
at the command prompt before you compile your application program.
VSVARS32.BAT is located in the \bin subdirectory of your compiler installation,
e.g., c:\programs\microsoft visual studio .NET\Vc7\bin.
To compile programs together with LEDA, the environment variables PATH, LIB,
and INCLUDE must additionally contain the corresponding LEDA directories.
(b) Setting Environment Variables for LEDA:
(i) Windows NT/2000/XP:
1. In the ”Start” menu, point to ”Settings”, then click ”Control Panel”.
2. In the ”Control Panel”, double click ”System”.
3. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Environment tab (for NT),
respectively the Extended tab and then on ”Environment Variables” (for
2000/XP).
If a user variable PATH, LIB, or INCLUDE already exists, extend the current
value as follows:
• extend PATH by
• extend INCLUDE by \incl
• extend LIB by
Otherwise add new a user variable PATH, INCLUDE, or LIB with value
, respectively \incl.
(ii) Windows 95/98:
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=
