System Requirements

The networking modules of QUANTA were tested on the PocketPC platform for the StrongARM and the Hitachi SH3 processors. You will need Embedded Microsoft Visual tools 3.0 installed.

Building the QUANTA libraries

The process has 2 main steps.

1. Downloading the distribution into a working directory

a. Download the QUANTA_xxx file to a working directory (where xxx is the version number).

b. Extract all the contents of the file into your working directory.
If your working directory is
C:\QUANTA, then you will see the distribution in
C:\QUANTA\QUANTA_xxx. (where xxx is the version number of the distribution).

Note: A brief description of the directories in the distribution is available in Appendix A.

2. Building the QUANTA libraries

a. Open the workspace 'quantace.vcw' from the 'wince' directory.

b. From the menu choose Build->Batch Build->Build

The networking libraries are now ready for use. cd to ARMDbg or SH3Dbg and the quantace.lib will be found there.

You can create new applications with QUANTA, Using Embedded Visual C++ 3.0


1. Create a new project.



2. Go to Project Settings and click on the C/C++ tab.
   Select Preprocessor as the Category.
In the Preprocessor definitions textbox add:
WIN32, QUANTA_LITTLE_ENDIAN_FORMAT,
QUANTA_THREAD_SAFE, QUANTA_USE_WINDOWSTHREADS

In the Additional include directories textbox add:
D:\QUANTA\include
D:\QUANTA\wince\include
D:\QUANTA\stlce\include


3. Go to Project Settings->Link->Category:Input->Object/Library Modules: add quantace.lib.
   

   In the Additional library path textbox add:
   D:\QUANTA\wince\ARMRel or
   D:\QUANTA\wince\SH3Rel
   

4. Add all your other files to the project and build it.

Appendix A : Directory Structure

The QUANTA distribution is organized into several sub directories.
Each sub directory is described below.
