Chapter 10: INtime application development
Running the INtime Static Library wizard
The INtime Static Library wizard generates a project that builds a static library fit for
linking into INtime projects. After running the wizard, the library is empty. Add files as
necessary. Successfully building a static library project results in a LIB file that can be
linked into other projects.
The difference between a static and a shared library is that code and data from a static
library is added to an executable file at link time, whereas code and data from a shared
library is added only when the executable file loads. With a shared library, the shared
code can be updated without rebuilding the executable file, but use of a shared library
involves some minor overhead.
Compile
Use Microsoft Visual Studio to compile and link the application. The RT portion of
INtime applications requires certain project settings. If you use the INtime wizards to
develop the RT portion of your application, the wizards will set up your project
properly. Settings vary, depending on whether you configured Microsoft Visual Studio
to build a debug or a release version.
To view and verify settings required by INtime software, select Microsoft Visual
Studio’s Build>Settings menu option.
Note
Only required RT portion settings are listed. You can enter the values you want in fields for which no
setting is listed.
Visual Studio settings vary, depending on the version you use. Go to the appropriate
section to see the settings for your version:
• Visual Studio 2008: continue reading in the next section.
• Visual Studio 2005 (aka Visual Studio 8): go to page 96.
• Visual Studio .NET (aka Visual Studio 2003 or Visual Studio 7.1): go to page 98.
• Visual Studio 6: go to page 99.
