README file for the VS 2008 CPP sample project

Copyright (c) 2009 ARM Research Laboratories

This README file gives an overview of the VS 2008 CPP sample project.

This project links the sample CPP file CPPSample\main.cpp with the
SNFMulti import library.

To build this application:

  1) Open VS2008CPPSampls\VS2008CPPSample.sln with VS 2008.

  2) Select "x64" (if available) or "win32" for the platform.

  3) In the project, open main.cpp.  Modify the initial value of
  ConfigurationPath as necessary to specify the location of the
  SNFServer configuration file.

  4) Build.

  5) Ensure that the path in VS2008 includes the directory containing
  SNFMulti.dll.  If needed, add the directory by:

    a) Right-click on "VS2008CPPSample" in the VS2008 Solution
    Explorer, and select "Properties".

    b) Choose "All Configurations" for the Configuration.

    c) If your installation supports the x64 platform:

       i) Choose "x64" for the Platform.

       ii) Select Configuration Properties->Debugging.

       iii) Add "path=..\64bitDll" to the Environment command.

    d) Choose "Win32" for the Platform.

    e) Add "path=..\32bitDll" to the Environment command.

  6) Run.

In order to create an import library, do the following:

  1) Open a VS2008 command prompt (Tools->Visual Studio 2008 Command
  Prompt).

  2) Change to the 32bitDll directory of the SDK.

  3) Enter the command:

     LIB /MACHINE:x86 /DEF:snfmulti.def /name:snfmulti.dll /out:vs2008_snfmulti.lib

  This creates the vs2008_snfmulti.lib import library for the win32
  platform.  To create an inport library for the x64 platform:

  4) Change to the 64bitDll directory of the SDK.

  5) Enter the command:

     LIB /MACHINE:x64 /DEF:snfmulti.def /name:snfmulti.dll /out:vs2008_snfmulti.lib

  This creates the vs2008_snfmulti.lib import library for the x64
  platform.
