# Quick start for compiling CVSim:
1. Install prerequisites if not already installed:
Install JDK 1.8.
(Windows only) Install Cygwin, including the optional gcc and swig packages.
If you need them, step-by-step instructions are at
http://physionet.org/physiotools/cygwin/
(Other platforms) Install gcc and swig.
These packages are all freely available; try a Google search to find
versions for your platform.
2. Navigate to this directory (devel). Choose the correct template for
your platform from:
Makefile.include.root.linux
Makefile.include.root.osx
Makefile.include.root.windows
and rename it Makefile.include.root . Check the locations of the gcc and
swig programs, and of the top-level JDK directory (JAVA_HOME). Correct
these locations in Makefile.include.root if necessary.
3. While still in this directory, type
make
This step compiles platform-specific binaries for both the 6- and
21-compartment models for using gcc, creates platform-specific
"glue" to link the models with the GUI using swig, and compiles the GUI
using javac (from the JDK).
See the CVSIM Developer's Guide in the doc directory for more details if you
need them. Navigate to devel/java/classes and follow the instructions in
README.txt to run CVSim.
