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#

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#

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
