HowToCompileAProject

Compiling under Windows-Visual C++:

1. You have to install in .../sofa/Tools/ a specific version of Qt* : qt4win. Please contact Laure Heïgéas
2. Go to the project directory
3. Execute project VC6.bat, project VC7.bat, or project VC8.bat, depending on what version of Visual C++ you use. This command generates a Visual C++ project file (.vcproj).
4. Open the project file and do as usual

Compiling under Linux:

1. Go to the project directory
2. In the command line, execute qmake then make. Alternatively, you can use the kdevelop project file.

* On linux the current version is Qt3. On windows it is Qt4. In order to keep the compatibility, we use a porting version from Qt3 to Qt4, i.e. Qt3support.
