   EasyLocal++ Installation for Microsoft Visual C++

       --------------------------------------------------------------

        

     What is needed

       In order to install and use EasyLocal++ you must be sure that the
       target machine provides, at least, the following components:

          *  A zip format unpacking utility (e.g. the WinZip available from
             http://www.winzip.com)
          *  Microsoft Visual Studio version > 6.0
          *  Microsoft Visual C++ compiler version > 6.0

       In addition, EasyLocal++ relies on the following two utilities, which
       are provided in binary format in the package.:

          *  GNU bison version > 1.28
          *  GNU flex version > 2.5

       The framework has been tested with the above specified configuration,
       although, in principle, it could be used with different compilers and
       different versions of the above mentioned tools. In fact, the framework
       has been developed exploiting only the C++ standard classes and the STL
       library. Yet, the details on how to port the framework on different
       compilers/tools platform is out of the scope of this document. 

     Installing EasyLocal++

       To install the framework you have to unpack the file
       miniEasyLocalpp-0.2.zip in the target directory using the zip format
       unpacking utility (see the tool documentation for learning how to make
       it).

       This step will create a directory called miniEasyLocal++/ which
       contains the entire distribution tree.

     Compiling the EasyLocal++ library

       Once you are sure that the suite of tools required are provided you
       have two options for compiling the library.

       The first option is to open the miniEasyLocal++ project within the
       Microsoft Visual C++ IDE. To this aim, you can simply double-click on
       the miniEasyLocal.dsw file in the root directory of the distribution.
       Then, for building the library, it remains to select the build
       libEasyLocal.lib command from the IDE Build menu.

       The alternative option consists in opening a command shell (e.g.
       executing the command command) and then in running the nmake utility.

       The outcome of the compilation is the static library libEasyLocal.lib,
       which must be linked with every file that uses the framework classes.
       Namely, it contains all the class implementations that do not need to
       be instantiated at the compile time (i.e., no template classes), and
       the compiled version of the ExpSpec language interpreter.

     Using the framework

       In order to use the EasyLocal++ classes in an application the following
       steps are needed:

          1. Add the #include <EasyLocal>directive in any file that uses the
             framework classes This directive automatically includes the
             appropriate header file that contains the interface of the
             classes and the code file which contains the template
             implementations (that need to be instantiated at the compile
             time).
          2. Set the compiler to look for the EasyLocal++ files by adding the
             option /I<EasyLocal++ directory>\src to the compilation command
             line or setting appropriately the option in the Visual C++ IDE
             (namely it is the Preprocessor option in the C/C++ tab of the
             project's settings).
          3. Link the object files of your application with the EasyLocal++
             library by adding the file libEasyLocal.lib to the linking
             command line or adding it to the project's file list.
