Astrolog32 v. 1.34
Readme
Source Code
Welcome to Astrolog32. This is a Windows 32 bits version of
Astrolog. It is based on Astrolog 5.41g for MS Windows by Walter
Pullen, as modified by Valentin Abramov. For a list of
changes done from 5.41g, please look at file "History
A32.html". That file is distributed in the Astrolog32
binaries zip file.
Operating Systems
Supported
This source code has been built
for Windows 32 bits. It runs on MS Windows 98, Millennium Edition,
NT 4.0, 2000, XP. It was not tested, but is expected to run
on MS Windows Server 2003.
Unlike other versions of Astrolog that contain
source code for several OSes, Astrolog32 is strictly a MS Windows
32 bits application.
How to build
Astrolog32
Astrolog32 was built with Visual Studio 2005 with SP1.
Astrolog32 currently uses Swiss Ephemeris static
libraries. With respect to libraries, you have at least three
options:
- Use DLLs available from AstroDienst, and change
the Astrolog32 project file to use them instead of static
libraries.
- Download Swiss Ephemeris from AstroDienst and
create your own static libraries.
- Use ready-made libraries available in the file
"SE174Libs.zip" from the same site where you got the
Astrolog32 sources.
We recommend the last option, at least intially, as it is the
easiest. Inside "SE174Libs.zip" there is a readme with instructions.
Once you have the Swiss Ephemeris libraries
sorted out, put Astrolog32
in any directory you want
(for example, C:\astrolog32\sources). Then double click on the solution
file (astrolog.sln). This should start Visual Studio. Then
press F7 to build. Both a Release and Debug configurations are
available in the project file. We suggest you use the Release
version, unless you want to debug. To change the
configuration being built go to the Build menu, and choose "Select
Active Configuration".
