MinGW

The following instructions were performed with x86 Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW) installed from http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/download.php#mingw-builds

For brevity, these instructions assume the default installation location of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Galil\gclib".

Copy Files

Copy "gclib\examples\mingw" to a convenient, writable location, e.g. "C:\temp". Run C:\temp\mingw\copy_source.bat to copy all files.

x_simple.c

Edit GOpen() call as necessary

In a text editor, open x_simple.c. Find the GOpen() call and update the address to match the desired hardware. See the documentation for GOpen() for address formatting options.

Compile

• Launch the MinGW terminal, e.g. Start -> All Programs -> MinGW-W64 project -> i686-4.9.1-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3 -> Run Terminal.
• Navigate to the directory with the files above.
• Compile the code.

C:\temp\mingw\>gcc x_simple.c -L. -lgclibo -lgclib -o simple.exe

Execute

C:\temp\mingw>simple.exe

x_examples.cpp

Review and Modify source

• In a text editor, open x_examples.cpp. Find the GOpen() call and update the address to match the desired hardware. See the documentation for GOpen() for address formatting options.
• Find the #if 0 preprocessor block enclosing the example calls. Change to #if 1 to run the examples. Comment out the function calls to be avoided. Note some calls attempt to move motors and not all functions are compatible with all Galil products.

Compile

• Launch the MinGW terminal, e.g. Start -> All Programs -> MinGW-W64 project -> i686-4.9.1-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3 -> Run Terminal.
• Navigate to the directory with the files above.
• Compile the code.

C:\temp\mingw>g++ *.cpp -L. -lgclibo -lgclib -o examples.exe
