Win32 Installation Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
NeoStats for Windows requires Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2005.
|
||||
It may or not build on other versions of Visual Studio.
|
||||
Currently, Win32 versions of NeoStats appear to be stable, but for this
|
||||
Release, a Debug Version is used. This means that when run, NeoStats
|
||||
will open a console window and output large amounts of Debug
|
||||
Information. Closing this window will result in NeoStats closing as
|
||||
well.
|
||||
|
||||
Main build files:
|
||||
neostatslibs.sln - Library solution.
|
||||
neostats.sln - Main solution.
|
||||
To Configure NeoStats, you must edit the neostats.conf file located in the
|
||||
NeoStats installation directory, this is typically c:\Program Files\NeoStats
|
||||
but if you change it during the setup, it will be in the location you
|
||||
specify.
|
||||
|
||||
NeoStats requires that ActivePerl be installed before you compile,
|
||||
and that the ActivePerl installation is located at c:\perl. If your
|
||||
activeperl is located at a different location, you will have to
|
||||
modify the INCLUDE and LIBRARY paths specifiec in the properties
|
||||
of the neostats.sln solution.
|
||||
Once you have edited the Configuration File, you may start NeoStats by
|
||||
clicking on the NeoStats icon in your Start Menu. NeoStats will then
|
||||
open the Console Window and place a icon in the taskbar. After that,
|
||||
NeoStats will operate just like the Unix Version.
|
||||
|
||||
NeoStats depends on the libraries in the library solution. To build
|
||||
NeoStats for Windows, load the library solution and select build
|
||||
solution from the Build menu. Then load the neostats solution and
|
||||
select build solution from the Build menu.
|
||||
As 3rd party modules are released, we will provide Win32 installations
|
||||
for those files as well.
|
||||
|
||||
The NeoStats Setup exe that we distribute NeoStats with also
|
||||
contains the library and header files you need to compile other
|
||||
modules. By default they are installed when you install NeoStats
|
||||
and are located in the include and library directories of your
|
||||
NeoStats installation. 3rd party modules (such as OPSB) are
|
||||
setup to look in these directories when building, so if you
|
||||
change the location of NeoStats installation then you will
|
||||
need to modify the INCLUDE and LIBRARY paths for those
|
||||
3rd party modules to point to the correct directory.
|
||||
If you encounter any problems on Win32, please post the issues to our
|
||||
Forums so we can investigate.
|
||||
|
||||
We hope that with future releases, you will be able to run NeoStats as
|
||||
a service rather than as a program, but that is not currently implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks
