Using the Microsoft Windows SDK Tools to Compile Against Spincore Libraries Using the Microsoft Windows SDK Tools to Compile Against SpinCore Libraries SpinCore Technologies, Inc. November 19, 2013 1 Introduction Recently, SpinAPI's compilation process has moved to the Microsoft Windows SDK C/C++ compiler. The reason behind this move away from GCC is that true 64bit support became necessary. In order to use GCC for 64bit compilation on Windows, plain MinGW is not enough; a Cygwin environment with a 64bit port of MinGW becomes necessary. Requiring the use of Cygwin not only complicates the compilation process for us, but for customers as well. The current solution to this problem is to use the Microsoft Windows SDK C/C++ compiler. The SDK provides an easy way to setup the correct build environment for 64bit or 32bit, and also will use the correct C++ name mangling conventions for C++ libraries compiled with Visual Studio. Additionally, the compilation method is easily scriptable. 2 Install necessary Tools The Microsoft Windows SDK (at least v7.1 is recommended) is required to compile C programs against the SpinAPI library, or other SpinCore API packages. The Windows SDK can be found for free on Microsoft's MSDN website. 3 Setup Build Environment The Microsoft Windows SDK comes with a tool called \setenv.cmd". This is the tool that is used to setup the 64bit and 32bit build environments. It is found in the installation directory of the SDK under the \Bin" folder. If you would like to have this tool available at the command line without typing out the absolute path, you will need to add the \Bin" directory to the system's path variable. This can be done as follows (on Windows 7): 1. Click on the \Start" menu. 2. Right click on \Computer" 3. Click \Properties" 4. Click \Advanced System Settings" 5. Click \Environment Variables" 6. Under \System Variables" click on \Path", then click the \Edit..." button below. 7. Add a semicolon at the end of the \Variable value" field, and then enter the full path to where \setenv.cmd" resides, for example (without quotes): \C:nProgram FilesnMicrosoft SDKsnWindowsnv7.1nBin" 8. Press \OK" 3 times. Now you will be able to open a terminal and have \setenv.cmd" available in the system path. 3.1 Usage of \setenv.cmd" To set up a 64bit build environment: setenv.cmd /x64 /release To set up a 32bit build environment: setenv.cmd /x86 /release 1 4 Compiling Once \setenv.cmd" has been called, the proper build environment has been setup and the compilers are available. \cl.exe" is the C/C++ compiler used. Some important parameters are listed below. • Adding Include Directories: cl.exe foo.c /I YourPath • Linking against a library requires that you add a full or relative path to the .lib file. cl.exe foo.c \path\to\bar.lib Full example of 64bit compilation (with SpinAPI 64bit): cd C:\SpinCore\Examples\General setenv.cmd /x64 /release cl.exe .\read_firmware.c /IC:\SpinCore\SpinAPI\inc C:\SpinCore\SpinAPI\lib\spinapi64.lib Full example of 32bit compilation (with SpinAPI 32bit): cd C:\SpinCore\Examples\General setenv.cmd /x86 /release cl.exe .\read_firmware.c /IC:\SpinCore\SpinAPI\inc C:\SpinCore\SpinAPI\lib\spinapi.lib Full example of 32bit compilation (with SpinAPI 64bit): cd C:\SpinCore\Examples\General setenv.cmd /x86 /release cl.exe .\read_firmware.c /IC:\SpinCore\SpinAPI\inc C:\SpinCore\SpinAPI\lib32\spinapi.lib 2 Revisions Version Description Author Date 1.0 Initial document creation Patrick Gauvin 20121220 1.1 Revised to reflect new directory structure of SpinAPI Patrick Gauvin 20131119 3.

  • Building Openjfx
    Building OpenJFX Building a UI toolkit for many different platforms is a complex and challenging endeavor. It requires platform specific tools such as C compilers as well as portable tools like Gradle and the JDK. Which tools must be installed differs from platform to platform. While the OpenJFX build system was designed to remove as many build hurdles as possible, it is necessary to build native code and have the requisite compilers and toolchains installed. On Mac and Linux this is fairly easy, but setting up Windows is more difficult. If you are looking for instructions to build FX for JDK 8uNNN, they have been archived here. Before you start Platform Prerequisites Windows Missing paths issue Mac Linux Ubuntu 18.04 Ubuntu 20.04 Oracle Enterprise Linux 7 and Fedora 21 CentOS 8 Common Prerequisites OpenJDK Git Gradle Ant Environment Variables Getting the Sources Using Gradle on The Command Line Build and Test Platform Builds NOTE: cross-build support is currently untested in the mainline jfx-dev/rt repo Customizing the Build Testing Running system tests with Robot Testing with JDK 9 or JDK 10 Integration with OpenJDK Understanding a JDK Modular world in our developer build Adding new packages in a modular world First Step - development Second Step - cleanup Before you start Do you really want to build OpenJFX? We would like you to, but the latest stable build is already available on the JavaFX website, and JavaFX 8 is bundled by default in Oracle JDK 8 (9 and 10 also included JavaFX, but were superseded by 11, which does not).

Introduction In order to reduce the size of the MediaPortal Git repository and simplify merging branches and testing, C++ sourced binaries have been removed from the repository as of April, 2013. This change affects the way in which you setup your system to compile and build MediaPortal. This guide is written for anyone who wants access to our MediaPortal source code repository to compile and build individual branches for testing or development, using either Windows 7 or Windows 8. Note: You should have already installed the Required software for MediaPortal on the system where you install Git, see Requirements > System Components IDE Our source repository contains Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 solutions. We recommend using Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition but any commercial edition should work too.

  • Winframe API SDK Programmer's Guide
    WFAPI SDK Programmer's Guide Introduction The Citrix WFAPI functions enable application programs to perform tasks that are unique to XenApp and XenDesktop. Appropriate hotfixes and service packs may be needed for the functions defined here to execute properly. In this document XenApp and XenDesktop will be referred to as Citrix VDA. XenApp (RDS VDA) runs on server OSs, Microsoft Windows 2008R2 (Win 7 server) and Windows 2012R2 (Win 8.1 server) and XenDesktop (WS VDA) runs on workstation OSs, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10. This SDK allows software developers to programmatically access features specific to Citrix VDAs. For example: • Enumerating servers, sessions, and processes • Managing servers, sessions, and processes • Accessing Citrix-specific user data • Sending messages to a session • Using virtual channels • Waiting on system events The WFAPI SDK comprises a set of function calls to the Wfapi.dll dynamic link library (DLL) for 32- bit applications and Wfapi64.dll for 64-bit applications. These DLLs are available on servers running XenApp and on Windows Workstation platforms running XenDesktop. Example programs are included to assist developers. Using the WFAPI SDK The WFAPI SDK is intended for use by OEMs and customers who need to write applications that directly call WFAPI functions, using Microsoft Visual C++, Version 12.0 (Visual Studio 2013). System Requirements The WFAPI SDK must be installed and built on a Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Servers 2008R2 or 2012R2 computer with sufficient disk space. The SDK does not need more than a few megabytes of disk space; however, third-party development tools (for example, Microsoft Visual C++) may require a substantial amount of disk space.
