For Microsoft C, include the library (.LIB) files that LEADTOOLS supplies in order to call LEADTOOLS functions. For a summary of the library files, refer to Files To Be Included With Your Application. For the library files required by a particular function, refer to the function description.
For other compilers, you may need to generate a .LIB file from a DLL. For example, use the IMPLIB.EXE program with Borland C, versions 3.x and 4.x. Check the Treat enum types as ints checkbox found in the Project->Options->Compiler tab, and add FOR_BORLAND to the conditional defines found in the Project->Directories/Conditionals tab.
On WIN32 systems, you should also specify alignment on a 1-byte boundary.
The make files for the example programs are different for different editions of LEADTOOLS, as follows:
For WIN32 editions, all of the example programs have separate make files for Microsoft C.
