How to Setup the FindSurface SDK

How to Setup the FindSurface SDK in Visaul Studio

Prerequisites

• A Visual Studio
• Recent version of the FindSurface SDK. (To install it, follow this guide)

Step1: Create Win32 Project

1. Open Visual Studio

2. Select File > New > Project... menu.

3. In the New Project dialog,

   • under 2017 : choose the Win32 Console Application on Win32 category.

     

   • above 2017 : choose the Windows Desktop Wizard on Windows Desktop category.

     

4. Be sure followings for this tutorial.

   • Application type is Console Application
   • Uncheck Precompiled header check box
   • Check Empty project check box

   > under 2017
   

   > above 2017
   

Step2: Set up your environment

After creating project, you need to set your SDK path. In this tutorial, we assume that the install path of the FindSurface SDK is C:\CurvSurf_SDK\.

1. Go to Project > Properties.

   

2. In the Property Pages dialog, choose the VC++ Directories.

   

3. Select Include Directories, and click <Edit...>.

   

4. In the Include Directories dialog, add include path of FindSurface SDK. For example, C:\CurvSurf_SDK\include.

   

5. Set the Library Directories in the same way.

   

6. (option) In the Property Pages dialog, choose the Debugging. And set the Environment field like below.

   PATH=%PATH%;path-to-findsurface-dll
   

   For example, C:\CurvSurf_SDK\lib\x86 or C:\CurvSurf_SDK\lib\x64

   

7. In the Property Pages dialog, choose the Linker > Input.

8. Add FindSurface.lib to Additional Dependencies.

   

Step3: Build and run a sample code

Add a new file named main.c or main.cpp to your project. Type the below code, compile and run the sample code.

#include <FindSurface.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    FIND_SURFACE_CONTEXT ctx;
    int ret;

    ret = createFindSurface(&ctx);
    if (ret == FS_NO_ERROR) {
        printf("Hello FindSurface\n");
        releaseFindSurface(ctx);
    }

    return 0;
}

How to Setup the FindSurface SDK with GCC

Prerequisites

• GCC or G++
• Recent version of the FindSurface SDK. (To install it, follow this guide)

Note: FindSurface SDK uses different .so files for build and runtime. Read install guide for more detail.

Build and run a sample code

Create a new file named main.c or main.cpp. Type the below code, compile and run the sample code with following command.

Note: In this example, we assume that dummy .so file exists on /home/CurvSurf/libFindSurface/lib_import/x86_64.
Use your dummy .so file path that specified on install step.

#include <FindSurface.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    FIND_SURFACE_CONTEXT ctx;
    int ret;

    ret = createFindSurface(&ctx);
    if (ret == FS_NO_ERROR) {
        printf("Hello FindSurface\n");
        releaseFindSurface(ctx);
    }

    return 0;
}

$ gcc -o HelloFindSurface main.c -L/home/CurvSurf/libFindSurface/lib_import/x86_64 -lFindSurface
(Run demo) $ ./HelloFindSurface
