Getting the NCBI C Toolkit sources

------------------------------------

Outside users can download self-extracting archive from:

    ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/CURRENT/ncbiz.exe

Insiders can get the C Toolkit sources from the latest successful build from:

    /net/sampson/a/coremake/win32/ncbi_c.zip

Building the NCBI C Toolkit

-----------------------------

(We assume here that the Toolkit sources are deployed in "c:\ncbi".)

1) Run Microsoft Visual C++

2) Load the NCBI C Toolkit project workspace:

      "File" / "Open Workspace..."

         c:\ncbi\make\msvc_prj\ncbi.dsw

3) Set the build mode (default is single-threaded Debug):

      "Build" / "Set Active Configuration" / "Project configurations:"

3.1) To build everything, choose one of:

      "all - Win32 Debug"

      "all - Win32 Release"

      "all - Win32 DebugMT"

      "all - Win32 ReleaseMT"

      "all - Win32 DebugDLL"

      "all - Win32 ReleaseDLL"

3.2) Or, you can choose to build any library(es) or application(s)

     in any configuration by using either the list of

     project configuration here or "ClassView" (or "FileView") frame.

4) Start the build of the project chosen:

      "Build" / "Build"

5) On success, the libraries and executables can be found under

      c:\ncbi\make\msvc_prj\*\<build_mode>\

   where <build_mode> stands for one of (see step 3 above):

      Debug, Release, DebugMT, ReleaseMT.

   For example, if you chose to build "Release" configuration, then

   most of the built executables will be located at:

      c:\ncbi\make\msvc_prj\demo\Release\*.exe
