Please note, Visual C++ 6.0 is not supported any more and thus the
corresponding project files are not kept up to date any longer.
The new project files are for Visual C++ .NET 2003. Visual Studio .NET 2002
is not supported any more.

1. Using GTL as a shared library
2. Using GTL as a static library
3. Example usage: GTLTest




=============================
Using GTL as a shared library
=============================

STEP 1:
=======

Open GTL.sln in GTL\src

choose 

   GTL_dynamic Win 32 Release
   GTL_dynamic Win 32 Debug

depending on what you need.

build GTL

STEP 2:
=======

Add library-Path and library to your project.

The files can be found:

release:

lib/GTL.lib
bin/GTL.dll

debug:

lib-debug/GTL.lib
bin-debug/GTL.dll

STEP 3:
=======

Change your project settings for

all:
   - disable use of precompiled headers
   - change setting for "force conformace in for loop scope"
     to "Yes:/Zc:forScope"

debug:
   - make sure "Microsoft Foundation classes" are used as shared library
   - use debug info "none", "line numbers", "program database" or
     "C7 compatible"
   - make sure symbol "_DEBUG" is defined
   - use compiler option "Multithreaded Debug DLL"

release:
   - use compiler option "Multithreaded DLL"

STEP 4:
=======

compile your project

STEP 5:
=======

make sure GTL.dll can be found for running your program
(e.g. where your exe file lies)






=============================
Using GTL as a static library
=============================

STEP 1:
=======

Open GTL.sln in GTL\src

choose 

   GTL_static Win 32 Release
   GTL_static Win 32 Debug

depending on what you need.

build GTL


STEP 2:
=======

Add library-Path and library to your project.

The files can be found:

release:

lib/GTLstatic.lib

debug:

lib-debug/GTLstatic.lib

STEP 3:
=======

Change your project settings for

all:
   - define symbol "GTL_STATIC"
   - disable use of precompiled headers
   - change setting for "force conformace in for loop scope"
     to "Yes:/Zc:forScope"

debug:
   - make sure Microsoft Foundation classes are used as shared library
   - use debug info "none", "line numbers", "program database" or
     "C7 compatible"
   - make sure symbol "_DEBUG" is defined

release:

STEP 4:
=======

compile youre project






======================
Example usage: GLTTest
======================

GTLTest is an example for using both
versions of GTL, dynamic and static.

For usage download GTLTest and unzip
to the same directory as GTL:

   GTL\
   GTLTest\

With this directory structure the project file

   GTLTest\win\GTLTest.sln

will find, compile, and copy the necessary GTL.dll
automatically. If you want to set up a new project
have a look on the settings of GTLTest.
