compiling program

[mrathore]

Sir,
I want to recompile the source code to make a new executable. For this the instructions given on webpage is

We have provided you with a Visual C++ project, opensees.dsw, located in the OpenSees/Win32 directory. Click on this file to open it and then click on build to build it. However, be sure the active project in the workspace is set to openSees and not actor, the default active project.

But if we see the source code, there is no file named "opensees.dsw" in "Win32" folder. but there is a file named "OpenSeesFortran.mak"

Do we need to use Fortran to run this or will it run in Visual C++ (I have visual C++ inside visual studio)

Also it says

The include directory for MSDev library files is given as C:\msdev\lib in the OpenSees VC++ project settings. If MSDev is located in a different directory on your machine, you will have to change the project settings accordingly.

does it mean that the visual c++ has to be installed in "C:\msdev" folder?


Thanks in advance

Hi!

a) You should open the solution file - ".sln" as for all visual studio projects.
There are two versions, namely "OpenSees2005.sln" and "opensees.sln"
Use the one that is compatible with your version of visual studio.

b) It doesn't matter where c++ is installed.

Enjoy OpenSees
