Building on UNIX
================

The following build instructions are for the Linux/UNIX/Mac OS X
operating systems as well as for Cygwin and MinGW on Windows.

The standard autotools-based build system is used on these platforms. After
unpacking the source code archive, change to the libcutl package directory
(referred to as libcutl/ from now on) and run the configure script:

./configure

To see the available configuration options run configure with --help:

./configure --help

As an example, the following configure command only builds shared libraries,
uses the specified C and C++ compilers, and compiles with optimization and
without debug information:

./configure --disable-static CC=gcc-4.5 CXX=g++-4.5 CFLAGS=-O3 CXXFLAGS=-O3

Once configuration is complete, run make to build libcutl:

make

Once the build is completed successfully, you can install the libcutl headers
and libraries using the install target (you may need to do this step as root
depending on the installation directory):

make install


Building on Windows
===================

The following build instructions are for Windows using Microsoft Visual
Studio. If you would like to build libcutl with GCC either using Cygwin
or MinGW, refer to the "Building on UNIX" section above.

The standard Visual Studio project and solution files are used on this
platform. To build libcutl, unpack the source code archive and open the
libcutl-vc<N>.sln file located in the libcutl package directory (referred
to as libcutl\ from now on). Here <N> is the version of Visual Studio that
you are using. Once the solution is open, select the desired build
configuration (Debug or Release) and platform (Win32 or x64) and build
the solution.

The resulting 32-bit DLLs and import libraries are placed into the
libcutl\bin\ and libcutl\lib\ directories, respectively. Similarly, the
64-bit DLLs and import libraries are placed into libcutl\bin64\ and
libcutl\lib64\. The Release versions of the import libraries are named
cutl.lib and the Debug versions are named cutl-d.lib.

To configure Visual Studio to automatically locate the libcutl headers,
DLLs, and import libraries, add the following paths to your VC++
Directories:

Win32:

  Include:    ...\libcutl
  Library:    ...\libcutl\lib
  Executable: ...\libcutl\bin

x64:

  Include:    ...\libcutl
  Library:    ...\libcutl\lib64
  Executable: ...\libcutl\bin64
