= NOTE: This is the old version of the README.win32 file that was distributed
= with CFITSIO up until version 3.35 in 2013. These instruction may still work
= with more recent versions of CFITSIO, however, users are strongly urged to
= use the CMake procedures that are now documented in the new README.win32 file.
===============================================================================
===============================================================================
Instructions on using CFITSIO on Windows platforms for C programmers
These instructions use a simple DOS-style command window. It is also possible
to build and use CFITSIO within a GUI programming environment such as Visual
Studio, but this is not supported here.
===============================================================================
1. Build the CFITSIO dll library
This step will create the cfitsio.def, cfitsio.dll, and cfitsio.lib files.
(If you downloaded the CFITSIO .zip file that contains the pre-built binary
.dll file, then SKIP THIS STEP).
A. With Microsoft Visual C++:
1. Open a DOS command window and execute the vcvars32.bat file that
is distributed with older versions of Visual C++, or simply open
the Visual C++ command window (e.g., when using Visual Studio 2010).
2. Unpack the CFITSIO source files (cfitxxxx.zip) into a new empty directory
3. In the DOS command window, cd to that directory and enter the
following commands:
nmake winDumpExts.mak
nmake makefile.vcc
(ignore the compiler warning messages)
B: With Borland C++:
First, follow the instructions provided by Borland to set up
the proper environment variables and configure files for the compiler.
Unpack the cfitsio.zip source file distribution into a suitable directory.
In a DOS command window, cd to that directory and then execute the
makepc.bat batch file on the command line to build the CFITSIO library,
and the testprog and cookbook sample programs.
===============================================================================
2. Test the CFITSIO library with Visual C++
Compile and link the testprog.c test program. When using Visual Studio,
the command is:
cl /MD testprog.c cfitsio.lib
This will create the testprog.exe executable program. Running this
program should print out a long series of diagnostic messages
that should end with "Status = 0; OK - no error"
===============================================================================
3. Compile and link an application program that calls CFITSIO routines
with Visual C++
Include the fitsio.h and longnam.h header files in the C source code.
Link the program with the cfitsio.lib file:
cl /MD your_program.c cfitsio.lib
NOTE: The /MD command line switch must be specified on the cl
command line to force the compiler/linker to use the
appropriete runtime library. If this switch is omitted, then
the fits_report_error function in CFITSIO will likely crash.
When building programs in the Visual Studio environment, one
can force the equivalent of the /MD switch by selecting
'Settings...' under the 'Project' menu, then click on the C/C++
tab and select the 'Code Generator' category. Then under 'User
Run-time Library' select 'Multithreaded DLL'.
