The WFDB Software Package, except for WAVE, has been successfully compiled under all modern versions of MS-Windows (including MS-Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP) using the Cygwin development environment.
If you have not already done so, install the Cygwin development environment
(freely available from http://www.cygwin.com). This
includes gcc
(the GNU C/C++ compiler) as well as a comprehensive
assortment of other Unix utilities ported to MS-Windows. Accept the defaults
suggested by the installer, but be sure to select and install the gcc
,
binutils
, and make
packages from the Devel
category
(these are not installed by default in a minimal Cygwin installation).
Important: Although you may be able to compile the WFDB software package
using a proprietary compiler, this is not supported. The
Makefile.dos
files in several of the subdirectories of the package's
source tree can be used with the make
utilities provided with most
commercial C compilers, although you will need to customize them for your
compiler. Your feedback is appreciated.
Before beginning the installation of the WFDB Software Package, obtain and
install the libwww
package from http://www.w3.org/Library/ or
from http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/libwww/. You may
omit this step if you do not wish to have NETFILES support.
Open a Cygwin terminal window (the Cygwin installer will have added this to your MS-Windows start menu). Perform the remaining steps by typing the commands given below into the terminal window.
Check that gcc
is accessible by typing the command:
which gcc |
The output of this command should be:
/usr/bin/gcc |
If you don't see this output, repeat the steps above as necessary to correct the problem before continuing.
Unpack the gzip
-compressed tar
archive you downloaded earlier,
using the tar
command included with the Cygwin package:
tar xfvz wfdb.tar.gz |
If your browser decompressed the file during the download, use this command instead:
tar xfv wfdb.tar |
This will create a directory with a name of the form wfdb-
m.n.r,
where m.n.r is the version number of the included WFDB library (e.g.,
10.2.6
). Enter this directory.
You should now be ready to configure, compile, and install the software, using the commands:
./configure make install |
If you have Microsoft or Turbo C or C++, and a Microstar Laboratories DAP 1200-
or 2400-series analog interface board, you can compile `sample' (a program
for creating database records from analog signals, and for replaying them in
analog form). To do so successfully, you must first have installed the
Microstar `#include' files and DAP interface library on your system.
Specifically, files `c_lib.c', `clock.h', and `ioutil.h' must be
installed in your `include' directory, and the version of the file
`cdapl.lib' that is compatible with your compiler must be installed in a
directory in which libraries are found by your linker. Read and customize
lib/Makefile.dos
and app/Makefile.dos
as appropriate for your
compiler, and use your compiler's make
utility to generate
wfdb.lib
and then sample.exe
.
