Tecgraf/PUC-Rio Library Download Tips

All the libraries were build using Tecmake. Please use it if you intend to recompile the sources. Tecmake can be found at http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/tecmake.

The IM files can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=241318.
The CD files can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=241317.
The IUP files can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=241310.
The Lua files can be downloaded at http://luaforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=110.

Build Configuration

Libraries and executables were built using speed optimization. In UNIX the dynamic libraries were NOT built with the -fpic parameter. In MacOS X the dynamic libraries are in bundle format. The source code along with the "config.mak" files for Tecmake are also available.

The DLLs were built using the cdecl calling convention. This should be a problem for Visual Basic users.

In Visual C++ we use the single thread C Run Time Library for static libraries and the multi thread C RTL for DLLs. Because this is the default in Visual Studio for new projects. Since Visual C++ 8, both use the multi thread C RTL.

Packaging

The package files available for download are named according to the platform where they were build.

In UNIX all strings are based in the result of the command "uname -a". The package name is a concatenation of the platform uname, the system major version number and the system minor version number. Some times a suffix must be added to complement the name. The compiler used is always gcc. Binaries for 64-bits receive the suffix: "_64". In Linux when there are different versions of gcc for the same uname, the platform name is created adding the major version number of the compiler added as a suffix: "g3" for gcc 3 and "g4" for gcc 4.

In Windows the platform name is the compiler and its major version number.

All library packages (*_lib*) contains pre-compiled binaries for the specified platform and includes. Packages with "_bin" suffix contains executables only.

The package name is a general reference for the platform. If you have the same platform it will work fine, but it may also work in similar platforms.

Here are some examples of packages:

iup2_4_Linux26_lib.tar.gz = IUP 2.4 32-bits Libraries and Includes for Linux with Kernel version 2.6 built with gcc 3.
iup2_4_Linux26g4_64_bin.tar.gz = IUP 2.4 64-bits Executables for Linux  with Kernel version 2.6 built with gcc 4.
iup2_4_Win32_vc8_lib.tar.gz = IUP 2.4 32-bits Static Libraries and Includes for Windows to use with Visual C++ 8 (2005).
iup2_4_Win32_dll9_lib.tar.gz = IUP 2.4 32-bits Dynamic Libraries (DLLs), stub libraries and Includes for Windows to use with Visual C++ 9 (2008).
iup2_4_Docs_html.tar.gz = IUP 2.4 documentation files in HTML format (the web site files can be browsed locally).
iup2_4_Win32_bin.tar.gz = IUP 2.4 32-bits Executables for Windows.

The documentation files are in HTML format. They do not include the CHM and PDF versions. These two files are provided as a separate download, but they all have the same documentation.

Installation

For any platform we recommend you to create a folder to contain the third party libraries you download. Then just unpack the packages you download in that folder. The packages already contains a directory structure that separates each library or toolkit. For example:

\mylibs\
        iup\
            bin\
            html\
            include\
            lib\Linux26
            lib\Linux26g4_64
            lib\vc8
            src
        cd\
        im\
        lua5.1\

This structure will also made the process of building from sources more simple, since the projects and makefiles will assume this structure .

Usage

For makefiles use:

1) "-I/mylibs/iup/include" to find include files
2) "-L/mylibs/iup/lib/Linux26" to find library files
3) "-liup" to specify the library files

For IDEs the configuration involves the same 3 steps above, but each IDE has a different dialog. The IUP toolkit has a Guide for some IDEs:

¹ - Notice that all the Windows compilers with links here are free to download and use.
² - Recently Borland removed the C++ Builder X from download. But if you bought a book that has the CD of the compiler, then it is still free to use.
3 - OpenMotif 2.2 is classified as 'experimental' by the Open Group.
