Building on Unix

1. Edit Makefile, and set CFLAGS, and CC macros as required for the target system. Often the defaults will work fine.

2. type "make"

The result should be:

Core shapelib support.
shpopen.o dbfopen.o safileio.o shptree.o libshp.a

Utility/demonstration programs: shpcreate, shpdump, shpadd, dbfcreate, dbfdump, dbfadd, shptreedump

3. To test type: make test

4. To libshp.a and the test binaries in /usr/local: make install

Building on Windows

If you have run the VC++ VCVARS32.BAT, you should be able to type the following in a command window to build the code and executables:

C:> nmake /f makefile.vc

Otherwise create your own VC++ project. There aren't many files to deal with here!
