To build the library and examples with MSVC++ 6.0:
</P
><P
> First, navigate to the MSVC++ directory in the FANN distribution and open the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>all.dsw</TT
> workspace.
In the Visual Studio menu bar, choose "Build" -> "Batch build...", select the project configurations
that you would like to build (by default, all are selected), and press "rebuild all"
</P
><P
> When the build process is complete, the library and examples can be found in the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>MSVC++\Debug</TT
> and
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>MSVC++\Release</TT
> directories and the release versions of the examples are automatically copied into
the <TT
CLASS="filename"
>examples</TT
> where they are supposed to be run.

></H2
><P
> Compiling FANN from source code entails the standard GNU autotools technique. First, configure the package as
you want it by typing (in the FANN directory), <B
CLASS="command"
>./configure</B
> If you need help choosing the
options you would like to use, try <B
CLASS="command"
>./configure --help</B
>
</P
><P
> Next, you have to actually compile the library. To do this, simply type <B
CLASS="command"
>make</B
>
</P
><P
> Finally, to install the library, type <B
CLASS="command"
>make install</B
>. Odds are you will have to
be root to install, so you may need to <B
CLASS="command"
>su</B
> to root before installing. Please
remember to log out of the root account immediately after <B
CLASS="command"
>make install</B
> finishes.
</P
><P
> Some people have experienced problems with compiling the library with some compilers, especially windows compilers which can not use GNU autotools. Please look through the <A
