Requirements

For the C library:

• C89 compliant compiler
• CMake (www.cmake.org)

For the Python bindings:

• Python 2.7 development files

For the C++ wrapper:

• C++11 compliant compiler (gcc 4.7 recommended)

Building the library from source (Linux)

1. Download the tar.gz source archive
2. Extract it with tar -xvf gdcp.tar.gz
3. cd gdcp/lib/build
4. cmake ..
5. make && make install

Building the library from source (Windows)

1. Download the zip source archive and extract it
2. Start the CMake GUI
3. Open gdcp/lib/CMakeLists.txt with CMake
4. In the "Generator" dropdown, select either "Visual Studio Project" or "mingw - Unix Makefiles", depending on your build environment
5. Click "Configure" and proceed according to your build setup

Building the Python bindings

The Python bindings come with a distutils setup.py. As long as your build environment can find the GDCP® C-library headers and DLLs, building the Python bindings should be as simple as

python setup.py install
