MSVC++ Workspaces (Γ Version 4.1.0) |
 |
|
This WWW page exists in support of using Microsoft Visual C++ IDE to build the GAMMA and PyGAMMA libraries from sources, to build GAMMA demo and test programs, and to run PyGAMMA scripts on Windows/Intel based computers. You MUST have a working version of MSVC++ on your computer system (PC) before these files can be of any use at all. |
|||||||||
| The download provided on this page supplies MSVC++ workspaces that may be used to build the GAMMA and PyGAMMA libraries from GAMMA source codes. The workspaces also contain projects to build GAMMA test and demo programs using the GAMMA library, and projects to run PyGAMMA scripts using the PyGAMMA library. | |||||||||
|
Note that there is absolutely nothing wrong with downloading and using a pre-built GAMMA and/or PyGAMMA library for MSVC++. The GAMMA DLL available for downloading will be exactly that which may be built from the dynamic workspace provided with the package on this page. The pre-built library will also allow users to compile and run GAMMA simulation programs using MSVC++. Similarly, the pre-built PyGAMMA DLL is the same as that which may be built from the supplied pygamma workspace. It alone will allow users to run interactive GAMMA simulations within Python. In short, although there is no harm in obtaining this download, you may not wish or need to build any (Py)GAMMA libraries for MSVC++ yourself. |

The above package (left)_provides three different workspaces, each residing in
its own subdirectory (folder). These are dynamic for builds and use
of the GAMMA DLL, static for builds and use of GAMMA as a static
library (not recommended), and pygamma for builds and use of
PyGAMMA - GAMMA running interactively under Python.
Each workspace contains a project for building a (Py)GAMMA library from source codes, and projects using the library to run example and test programs. Additionally, the package will contain explicit instruction on how to accomplish the builds using the provided workspaces. The MSVC++ package supplied on this page (left) will NOT supply the GAMMA sources. Obviously you will need the GAMMA sources in order to build any (Py)GAMMA library. These are provided in the above package (right). Please note that neither will this package supply Python nor Boost.Python, both required for the build of the PyGAMMA DLL. |

| * PyGAMMA builds require files in additional directories, those needed for Python and those necessary for Boost.Python. Once built, PyGAMMA will no longer depend upon the Boost.Python files, but will rely on Python. |
