This is where the SNF SDK for Windows Package is kept.

The SNFMulti.dll file is built using MinGW-64, the 64-bit MinGW

toolchain.  There are two ways for building SNFMulti.dll:



  1) Use the Code::Blocks project (in the CodeBlocks directory).



  2) Use the .CMD files from the DOS command line (in the MinGW

  directory).



In addition to building SNFMulti.dll, the libSNFMulti.a and

libSNFmulti.def files are created.



There are also applications for linking with SNFMulti.dll:



  1) The SNFMulti C++ test built with MinGW.  This can be built with a

  .CMD file in the MinGW directory, or a Code::Blocks project in the

  CodeBlocks directory.



  2) The SNFMulti C++ test built with Visual Studio 2008.  This can be

  built with solution file

  VS2008/SNFMultiDLLExampleCsharp/SNFMultiDLLTestC++.sln.



  3) A Visual Studio 2008 C# example application.  This can be built

  with solution file

  VS2008/SNFMultiDLLExampleCsharp/SNFMultiDLLExampleCsharp.sln.



  4) A Visual Studio 2008 VB example application.  This can be built

  with the solution file

  VS2008/SNFMultiDLLExampleVB/SNFMultiDLLExampleVB.sln.



This package includes the following directories (each has a README

file with further information):



  MinGW--Contains .CMD files for building SNFMulti.dll and associated

  files, and also the C++ application SNFMultiTest.  It uses the

  source files in the SNFMulti, CodeDweller, and SNFMultiTest

  directories.  These directories must be present.



  CodeBlocks--Contains the Code::Blocks project files for building

  SNFMulti.dll and SNFMultiTest.  It uses the source files in the

  SNFMulti, CodeDweller, and SNFMultiTest directories.  These

  directories must be present.



  SNFMultiTest--Contains the source for the C++ test application

  SNFMultiTest.



  VS2008--Contains the Visual Studio files for building the C# and VB

  example applications, and the C++ test.



To build the applications in the MinGW, CodeBlocks, and VS2008

directories:



  1) Ensure that the SNFMultiTest, SNFMulti, and CodeDweller

  directories are present.



  2) Install the 64-bit MinGW toolchain.  Unpack the 64-bit toolchain

  (e.g.  mingw-w64-bin_i686-mingw_20090220.zip) into c:\MinGW-64.  If

  done correctly, c:\MinGW-64 should have the directories bin,

  include, x86_64-pc-mingw32, and other directories.  The MinGW .CMD

  files and the Code::Blocks project files are configured to use the

  64-bit toolchain in c:\MinGW-64.



  3) Install VS 2008.



  4) Follow the directions in each directorie's README file.



To create a zipfile distribution:



  1) Install jZip.



  2) Edit BuildDistribution.cmd to specify the DISTDIR variable, and

     optionally the TEMPDIR variable.



  3) Run BuildDistribution.  This creates a zip file in the current

     directory with the name %DISTDIR%.zip.



Note: When you run BuildDistribution, you will get a message saying

that %DISTDIR%.zip could not be found.  This message can be ignored.



Note: For more information on the procedure for creating a zipfile

distribution, see the BuildDistribution.cmd file and the

BuildDistribution\README file.
