YAZ++ is shipped with "makefiles" for the NMAKE tool that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio. Version 2003 (7) and 2005 (8) has been tested. We expect that YAZ++ compiles with versions 5 and 6 as well.
Start a command prompt and switch the sub directory
WIN
where the file makefile
is located. Customize the installation by editing the
makefile
file (for example by using notepad).
The following summarizes the most important settings in that file:
DEBUG
If set to 1, the software is compiled with debugging libraries (code generation is multi-threaded debug DLL). If set to 0, the software is compiled with release libraries (code generation is multi-threaded DLL).
YAZ_DIR
Specifies the directory of the YAZ source.
When satisfied with the settings in the makefile, type
nmake
If the nmake
command is not found on your system
you probably haven't defined the environment variables required to
use that tool. To fix that, find and run the batch file
vcvars32.bat
. You need to run it from within
the command prompt or set the environment variables "globally";
otherwise it doesn't work.
If you wish to recompile YAZ++ - for example if you modify
settings in the makefile
you can delete
object files, etc by running.
nmake clean
The following files are generated upon successful compilation:
bin/yazpp_1.dll
YAZ++ DLL . Includes ZOOM C++ as well.
For the debug version lib/yazpp_1_d.dll
is created instead.
lib/yazpp_1.lib
Import library for yazpp_1.dll
.
For the debug version lib/yazpp_1_d.lib
is created instead.
bin/yaz-my-client.exe
Z39.50 client demonstrating the YAZ++ API.
bin/yaz-my-server.exe
Z39.50 server demonstrating the YAZ++ API.
bin/zclient.exe
ZOOM C++ demo client. A simple WIN32 console application.
