Many more details of ngspice usage under Windows is described
|
|
|
|
|
in how-to-use-ngspice091031.txt from the binary distribution.

This directory (visualc) with its files
|
|
|
|
|
vngspice.sln (project starter) and
|
|
|
|
|
vngspice.vcproj (project contents)
|
|
|
|
|
allows to compile and link ngspice with MS Visual Studio 2008.
|
|
|
|
|
The project is probably not compatible with Visual Studio 2005.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CIDER and XSPICE are included, but the code models for XSPICE
|
|
|
|
|
(*.cm) are not (yet) made. You may however use the code models
|
|
|
|
|
created with MINGW (which in fact are dlls), as e.g. found in
|
|
|
|
|
the ngspice binary distribution.
|
|

|
There is currently no installation procedure provided, you may
|
|
|
|
|
however install the executable manually as described in the
|
|
|
|
|
installation tree below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/visualc/include contains a dedicated config.h file. It contains the
|
|
|
|
|
preprocessor definitions required to properly compile the code.
|
|
|
|
|
strings.h has been necessary during setting up the project.
|

|
|
|
Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 C++
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Goto
|
|
|
|
|
/ng-spice-rework/visualc
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start MS Visual Studio 2008 by double click onto
|
|
|
|
|
vngspice.sln
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After MS Visual Studio has opened up, select debug or release version
|
|
|
|
|
by checking 'Erstellen' , 'Konfigurations-Manager' 'Debug' or 'Release'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Start making ngspice (called vngspice.exe) by selecting 'Erstellen' and
|
|
|
|
|
'vngspice neu erstellen'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Object files will be created and stored in visualc/debug or visualc/release.
|
|
|
|
|
The executable will be stored to visualc/debug/bin or visualc/release/bin.

|
If spinit is not found in the directory cited above,
|
|
|
|
|
vngspice.exe also searches for spinit in its own directory. If you give
|
|
|
|
|
a relative path for the codemodel directories in spinit, you may
|
|
|
|
|
determine your own directory tree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to generate a console ngspice (without GUI,
|
|
|
|
|
without graphics interface, but usable in batch mode (-b)),
|
|
|
|
|
then you have to do the following before compilation:
|
|
|
|
|
select console_debug or console_release from the configuration manager.
|
|
|
|
|
ngspice.exe will search for spinit in the directory tree shown above, or,
|
2010-09-07 21:04:20 +02:00
|
|
|
if not found, in its own directory.
