2 Setting Up Your Build Environment
2-2
Setting up a Build Environment on Windows Systems
Setting up the build environment involves specifying the header files and libraries that
you need to create an adaptor. For those familiar with their IDE environment, see the
following sections for lists of these required include files and libraries. This section also
describes how to create an environment variable that you can use to specify the MATLAB
installation folder. The header file and library paths use this environment variable. For
detailed instructions on setting up your build environment in the Microsoft Visual C++
development environment, see “Creating an Adaptor Project Using Microsoft Visual C++”
on page 2-4.

Note Users of Microsoft Visual C++ should be aware that there are certain project
parameters that they must set. See “Configuring Other Project Parameters” on page

Required Header Files and Libraries
The following table lists the locations of the header files and libraries that you need to
build an adaptor.
Note You must also specify the location of the header files and libraries required by your
device. Read your device's SDK documentation to get this information.
