Instructions for creating a Visual Studio project by hand to run a
Molmodel example program.
Molmodel 2.2, June 2011
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: By far the easiest way to create a Visual Studio project is to use
CMake (www.cmake.org). We have supplied a CMakeLists.txt file here which
will build a single Visual Studio project containing all the examples.
That works on all platforms also, using whatever build system is appropriate.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
But, if you insist on building a Visual Studio project by hand, here are
the instructions.
Below we will use $(SimTK_INSTALL_DIR) to mean the SimTK installation
directory, which is typically %ProgramFiles%\SimTK but can be anything.
(On English systems this will be C:\Program Files\SimTK or
C:\Program Files (x86)\SimTK for 64 bit platforms.). You
should create a SimTK_INSTALL_DIR environment variable and
set it to the appropriate Simbody installation directory.
You must already have the Simbody and Molmodel binaries installed from
SimTK.org; go to https://simtk.org/home/simbody, Downloads tab, then
https://simtk.org/home/molmodel, Downloads tab.
To use the Visual Studio solution file provided in this directory proceed
to step 5)
To create a new Visual Studio project for a Molmodel example from scratch
follow all steps:
1) Create new Visual Studio project based on an example source file:
* In Visual Studio, select File->New->Project...->Visual C++->Win32->Win32 Console Application
* Select a name for the new project, select a location, and select "Create new Solution"
* Click "Next"; select "Console Application" and "Empty project"
* Drag the desired example .cpp program into the "Source files" folder on the left.
2) Set up include directory
* Far click the Project name on the left bar, select "Properties"
* Set the "Configuration:" pulldown to "All Configurations"
* Under Configuration Properties->C++->General select "Additional Include Directories"
* Select the "..." button, then the new directory (folder) button
* Browse to $(SimTK_INSTALL_DIR)/include, and add it to the "Additional Include Directories" section
* Click "OK"
3) Set up library directories
* Far click the Project name on the left bar, select "Properties"
* Set the "Configuration:" pulldown to "All Configurations"
* Under Configuration Properties->Linker->General select "Additional Library Directories"
* Select the "..." button, then the new directory (folder) button
* Add $(SimTK_INSTALL_DIR)/lib to the "Additional Library Directories" section.
* Click "OK"
4) Set up library names
* Right click the Project name on the left bar, select "Properties"
a) Debug versions
NOTE: Debug libraries are very sensitive to compiler version; if you can't
use the prebuilt ones follow the Release instructions below unless you
have built your own Debug libraries from source.
CAUTION: You may not be able to use Release libraries with a main
program compiled with Debug.
* Set the "Configuration:" pulldown to "Debug"
* Under Configuration Properties->Linker->Input select "Additional Dependencies"
* Select the "..." button
* Add the following library names:
SimTKmolmodel_d.lib
SimTKsimbody_d.lib
SimTKmath_d.lib
SimTKcommon_d.lib
SimTKlapack.lib
Note that there is no "_d" lapack library; that's OK.
* Click "Apply"
a) Release versions
* Set the "Configuration:" pulldown to "Release"
* Under Configuration Properties->Linker->Input select "Additional Dependencies"
* Select the "..." button
* Add the following library names:
SimTKmolmodel.lib
SimTKsimbody.lib
SimTKmath.lib
SimTKcommon.lib
SimTKlapack.lib
* Click "Apply"
5) Run the program
* select "Release" configuration in the Visual Studio main toolbar if you
want speed; Debug is typically 10X slower.
* Type Ctrl-F5, or click Debug->"Start Without Debugging"
* Your program should run
* Type Ctrl-C in the console (Command Prompt) window to stop the program
6) To run another example program:
* Delete the previous example .cpp file from the "Source Files" folder
* Drag the new example .cpp file into the "Source Files" folder
* Select "Release" configuration, Ctrl-F5, etc.
