********************************************************************************* ### THE PROGRAM ### *A32 V2.05* (A32_V2_05_setup.exe) was created as official release. The default self-extraction path is to C:\Program Files\Astrolog32. The best location is C:\Astrolog\Astrolog32, if you wish to employ the macros included in the Czechoslovak, English and Italian versions. Their use is described in the English Help file. There is no longer a need to alter the Config. file's directories afterwards. For the French version the best path is C:\Astrolog32. It allows to save the files and settings chart without having to assign write permission on the relevant directories (which is complex for basic users). Pay attention, during the installation procedure, to all messages showing on the screen. The Czechoslovakian version has not a perfect installation nor a complete translation. This situation was existing in the 2.02 version too. A small job should be necessary to eliminate this imperfection. (It would be a small job to eliminate this imperfection). CHANGELOG v 2.05 ----------------------- -Installation guide improved -Companion to A32 by "The Dodger" for the English version It is available in the other versions too -Guide to A32 by Petr Trnka for the Czechoslovakian version -Atlases for the main countries in English, French and Italian (USA atlas not bundled) v 2.04 ----------------------- -Swiss Ephemeris V1.80 (although they are not valorised in A32) -French and Italian versions updated (language resources and manuals) -Macros set for English, Italian and Czechoslovakian versions -Czechoslovakian, English, French and Italian atlases added (USA atlas not bundled) -General internet links updated -Project reordered for Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition IDE v 2.03 Beta ----------------------- -For test purposes only ********************************************************************************* ### THE PROJECT ### To create the exe file, you must have downloaded and installed on your PC *Microsot Visual C++ Express Edition*. 1) ### OPTIONAL ### The package *SE180Libs.zip* is the project to update the Swiss Ephemeris libraries. It is an updating of project *SE174Libs.zip* by Antonio Ramos. Use the most recent version of the SE to create the *swelib32.lib* in Release mode. 2) *A32_V205_proj.zip* is the project ready for *MIcrosoft Visual C++ 2008 EE*. Unzip the project somewhere (after the first use of *M.V. C++ 2008 E.E.* the working folders will be created in the user *Documents*). So, you can transfer the project in the path *User\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects*. Use the most recent version of the SE to transfer the necessary new files in the main project (if you opted for the first step). Double click on *astrolog32_en.sln* to open it. Inside there are four language sub projects, with names in capital letters: CZECH, ENGLISH, FRENCH and ITALIAN. ***For each of them***: -Open the folder -Double click on *LANGUAGE.SLN* to open the language sub projects -With the Build commands create the *Solution*. - First: clean the solution and after compile the solution. We were able to compile only in Debug mode. In Release mode the files language.dll do not redistribute the connected dlls -The *Degug* folder will be created\updated in the sub project -Go inside and click "copy" on the *Language.dll* file -Go two levels back, to the main project, enter in the related final folders (i.e. cz, en, fr and it) and copy there, one by one, the four language dlls -Now double click on *astrolog32_en.sln* to open the main project and as usually use the Build menu to clean and compile. The Release mode works fine here, so the *Release_en* folder will be created or refreshed in its content. Open it and copy *astrolog32.exe*. Go back to the main project and go in the common folder *int\main* pasting here the exe. 3) Now we can create the installer. You must have installed *Inno Setup* (isetup-5.5.4.exe), options included. Double click on *astrolog32_v5.iss* file you find in the project. In the *Build* menu the command to compile. If not existing, the *Output* folder will be created: inside the installer *Astrolog32_v2_05_setup.exe* ********************************************************************************* Roberto Luporini, Lucca, January 1st, 2015
