This chapter gives a brief overview of the steps needed to compile,
load, and run a program that uses the WFDB library. It assumes that you
are able to log onto a Unix-based computer on which the WFDB Software
Package has been installed
(see section Installing the WFDB Software Package),
and that you know how to create a source file using a text editor such
as emacs
or vi
. If you are using an MS-DOS system, there
are a few differences noted below.
1.1 A Trivial Example Program in C A trivial example program. 1.2 Compiling a Program with the WFDB Library Compiling a C program with the WFDB library. 1.3 Using the WFDB library with other languages Using the WFDB library with C++ or Fortran. 1.4 The Database Path and Other Environment Variables WFDB library environment variables. 1.5 Running the Example Program Running the example program. 1.6 A Note on Identifiers Names to avoid when writing your programs. 1.7 More About the WFDB Path Customizing the WFDB path. 1.8 Exercises A few questions.
