mctimes,
You are right that there is very little to be compiled into the blitz
library.
In fact, the only source file you need to compile is src/globals.cpp. I
don't
know anything about devcpp, but you should be able to create a project file
that compiles globals.cpp into globals.o and then archives it as blitz.lib.
When you compile this file, you need to add the base directory of the blitz
distribution to the include file search path, using a -I flag or the
equivalent
in devcpp. That way, the compiler can find include files in the "blitz"
subdirectory. Also, you need to make sure you have a config.h file in this
"blitz" subdirectory. The config.h file defines a bunch of macros to
indicate
what capabilities your compiler does or does not support. This file is
normally
generated by our blitz configure script, but you will have to do this by
hand.
Fortunately, there are several sample config-foo.h files in the "blitz"
subdirectory
already. Take the one that most closely matches your compiler (try
config-g++2.7.2.h)
and copy it to config.h. You may have to edit it by hand to correctly
match your
compiler's capabilities. Then try to compile globals.cpp and create
blitz.lib.
Once you have done this, you should try to create a project file that
will compile
one of the blitz test codes in the testsuite subdirectory and link it
against blitz.lib
to create an executable. If you can get this far, then you are in
business.
Regards, Julian C.
