Configuration

Select a release and download the source code compressed file. Extract to a folder named gxc-9.3 on your system. This will contain the following sub-folders:

Folder	Content
examples	source code for all Geosoft GXs
include	GXC header files that document the GX API

The compiler and support tools are part of your Geosoft Desktop installation. You will need to add the Geosoft Desktop bin directory to your system path so the compiler programs can be found, and set the environment variable INCLUDE to your gxc-9.3\include folder. For example:

path="%path%;C:\Program Files\Geosoft\Desktop Applications 9\bin" set include=c:\gxc-9.3\include

Compile a GX

A GX will have a .gxc source file and an optional .grc resorce file. There may also be .hlp files that are used by the resource file. Compiling is a 2-step process. For this example navigate to the gxc-9.3\examples\agggrid folder:

grc agggrid gxc agggrid

This will create the GX file: aggrid.gx.
