Pre-compiled Binaries for windows ¶

Shared library¶

You will need to download the release shared library for windows from sourceforge or the development version of the shared library from the buildbot server. If you are on 32-bit windows, download the __cdecl version. For 64-bit, there is only one calling convention.

Place the downloaded shared library next to your library

Available libraries¶

CoolProp.vi : Basic Library to get the properties from CoolProp.dll

CoolProp.llb : More advanced library, allowing to compute thermodynamic diagrams, real-time calculation of properties, measurement processing, etc. There is additional information available for the use of the llb library

User-Compiled Binaries for windows ¶

Check out the instructions to build your own shared library. It should be a __cdecl DLL for 32-bit windows.

User-Compiled Binaries for VxWorks (cRIO)¶

Once the toolchain is configured¶

To compile:

cmake ../.. -DCOOLPROP_VXWORKS_LIBRARY_MODULE=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../../dev/cmake/Toolchains/powerpc-vxworks-crio.cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-D__powerpc__"

Use pre-built toolchain from FirstForge¶

Instructions from http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.c–11_toochain/wiki/BinaryInstall

Debian GNU/Linux (Wheezy/Testing)

Note: Because of minimal dependencies this may work on other Debian based distributions (e.g. Ubuntu). This is, however, experimental.

This currently uses GCC 4.8.0 and Binutils 2.22-8 (default in debian testing).

Add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list to add the repository:

deb http://debian.repo.frc.s3.amazonaws.com jessie main

Add the maintainer key for the repository:

sudo wget http://debian.repo.frc.s3.amazonaws.com/rbmj.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add rbmj.gpg.key

Run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-powerpc-wrs-vxworks

Set the WIND_BASE environmental variable (or add to ~/.profile):

export WIND_BASE=/usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/wind_base

Building your own toolchain for VxWorks Target¶

Instructions from http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.c–11_toochain/wiki/ManualInstall

Generic Linux/UNIX

These are the instructions to build from source manually. Note that some lines begin with $ and some begin with #. Lines that start with a $ can be run as a regular user. Lines that start with # must be run as root (on most distributions, just prefix the command with ‘sudo’).

1: Download all the components:

$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.8.2/gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2
$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.23.1.tar.bz2
$ wget ftp://ftp.ni.com/pub/devzone/tut/updated_vxworks63gccdist.zip

2: Set WIND_BASE:

# echo 'export WIND_BASE=/usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/wind_base' >> /etc/profile
$ source /etc/profile

3: Install the WindRiver headers and development resources:

$ unzip updated_vxworks63gccdist.zip
# mkdir -p /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/wind_base/target
# mkdir -p /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/share/ldscripts
# cp -R gccdist/WindRiver/vxworks-6.3/host /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/wind_base
# cp -R gccdist/WindRiver/vxworks-6.3/target/h/. /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/sys-include
# ln -fsT /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/sys-include/wrn/coreip /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/wind_base/target/h
# sed '/ENTRY(_start)/d' < /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/wind_base/target/h/tool/gnu/ldscripts/link.OUT > /usr/powerpc-wrs-vxworks/share/ldscripts/dkm.ld

4: extract binutils and gcc, and the dependency libraries:

$ tar -jxf gcc-4.8.2.tar.bz2
$ tar -jxf binutils-2.23.1.tar.bz2
$ cd gcc-4.8.0
$ ./contrib/download_prerequisites
$ cd ..

5: Build & install binutils:

$ mkdir binutils-build
$ cd binutils-build
$ ../binutils-2.23.1/configure --prefix=/usr --target=powerpc-wrs-vxworks --disable-nls
$ make -j4
# make install
$ cd ..

6: Build & install gcc:

$ mkdir gcc-build
$ cd gcc-build
$ ../gcc-4.8.2/configure \
      --prefix=/usr \
      --target=powerpc-wrs-vxworks \
      --with-gnu-as \
      --with-gnu-ld \
      --with-headers \
      --disable-shared \
      --disable-libssp \
      --disable-multilib \
      --with-float=hard \
      --enable-languages=c,c++ \
      --enable-libstdcxx \
      --enable-threads=vxworks \
      --without-gconv \
      --disable-libgomp \
      --disable-nls \
      --disable-libmudflap \
      --with-cpu-PPC603 \
      --disable-symvers \
      CFLAGS_FOR_TARGET='-mstrict-align -mlongcall -g -O2' \
      CXXFLAGS_FOR_TARGET='-mstrict-align -mlongcall -g -O2'

$ make -j4
# make install
