README file for the VS 2019 CPP sample project



Copyright (c) 2020 ARM Research Laboratories



This README file gives an overview of the VS 2019 CPP sample project.



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

SNFMulti import library.



To build this application:



  1) Open VS2019CPPSampls\VS2019CPPSample.sln with VS 2019.



  2) Select "x64" (if available) or "x86" 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.



In order to create the SNFMulti import and export libraries, do the

following:



  1) Open a VS2019 command prompt (Tools->Visual Studio 2019 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:vs2019_snfmulti.lib



  This creates the vs2019_snfmulti.lib import library and

  vs2019_snfmulti.exp export library for the x86 platform.  To create

  the libraries 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:vs2019_snfmulti.lib



  This creates libraries for the x64 platform.



To modify a solution file to use SNFMulti, do the following:



  1) Add the header file include/snfmultidll.h.



  2) In Project -> Properties -> Debugging -> Environment, add

  the directory containing the SNFMulti libraries and other DLLs.



  3) In Project -> Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional

  Dependencies, prepend "vs2019_snfmulti.lib".



  4) In Project -> Properties -> Linker -> Optimization -> Link Time

  Code Generation, specify "Use Link Time Code Generation").
