| 37 | Geant4 can be compiled with the C++ |
|---|
| 38 | compiler of MS Visual Studio C++ and the <a target="ext" |
|---|
| 39 | href="http://cygwin.com">Cygwin toolset</A>. Detailed |
|---|
| 40 | instructions are given in the Installation manual. As the build system relies |
|---|
| 41 | on <TT>make</TT> and other Unix tools using only the compiler of MS Visual |
|---|
| 42 | Studio, the section on <A HREF="makeFile.html">Makefile and environment |
|---|
| 43 | variables</A> applies also for building with MS Visual C++. |
|---|
| 44 | <P> |
|---|
| 45 | We do not support compilation directly under MS Visual Studio, i.e. we do not |
|---|
| 46 | provide workspace files <TT>(.dsw)</TT> or project files (<TT>.dsp</TT>). |
|---|
| 47 | <P> |
|---|
| 48 | However the executables created are debuggable using the debugger of MS Visual |
|---|
| 49 | Studio. You may have to help the debugger finding the path to source files the |
|---|
| 50 | first time you debug a given executable. |
|---|
| 51 | <P> |

|---|
| 53 | with the installation of CygWin, and also tips for creating a project under |
