Using LEADTOOLS with Your C++ Compiler

For Microsoft C, include the library (.LIB) files that LEADTOOLS supplies in order to call LEADTOOLS functions. For a summary of the library files, refer to Files To Be Included With Your Application. For the library files required by a particular function, refer to the function description.

For other compilers, you may need to generate a .LIB file from a DLL. For example, use the IMPLIB.EXE program with Borland C, versions 3.x and 4.x. Check the “Treat enum types as ints” checkbox found in the “Project->Options->Compiler” tab, and add “FOR_BORLAND” to the conditional defines found in the “Project->Directories/Conditionals” tab.

On WIN32 systems, you should also specify alignment on a 1-byte boundary.

 The make files for the example programs are different for different editions of LEADTOOLS, as follows:
