This dirctory contains a set of Visual Studio 2008 build projects for the
|
|
current simh code base. When used (with Visual Studio Express 2008 or
|
|
Visual Studio Express 2010) it populates a directory tree under the BIN
|
|
directory of the Simh distribution for temporary build files and produces
|
|
resulting executables in the BIN/NT/Win32-Debug or BIN/NT/Win32-Release
|
|
directories (depending on whether you target a Debug or Release build).
|
|
|
|
The Visual Studio Projects expect that a winpcap developer pack and the
|
|
Posix threads for windows package are available in a directory parallel
|
|
to the simh directory.
|
|
|
|
For Example, the directory structure should look like:
|
|
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/VAX/vax_cpu.c
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/scp.c
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/Visual Studio Projects/simh.sln
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/Visual Studio Projects/VAX.vcproj
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/BIN/Nt/Win32-Release/vax.exe
|
|
.../simh/windows-build/pthreads/pthread.h
|
|
.../simh/windows-build/winpcap/WpdPack/Include/pcap.h
|
|
.../simh/windows-build/libSDL/SDL2-2.0.0/include/SDL.h
|
|
|
|
The contents of the windows-build directory can be downloaded from:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/simh/windows-build/archive/windows-build.zip
|
|
|
|
Download and extract the contents of this zip file into the appropriate
|
|
place in your directory structure. You do not need to do anything else
|
|
but have this directory properly located.

Network devices are capable of using pthreads to enhance their performance.
|
|
To realize these benefits, you must build the desire simulator with
|
|
USE_READER_THREAD defined. The relevant simulators which have network
|
|
support are all of the VAX simulators and the PDP11 simulator.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, simulators which contain devices which use the asynchronous
|
|
APIs in sim_disk.c and sim_tape.c can also achieve greater performance by
|
|
leveraging pthreads to perform blocking I/O in separate threads. Currently
|
|
the simulators which have such devices are all of the VAX simulators and
|
|
the PDP11. To achieve these benefits the simulators must be built with
|
|
SIM_ASYNCH_IO defined.
|
|
|
|
The project files in this directory build these simulators with support for
|
|
both network and asynchronous I/O.
|
|
|
|
To build any of the supported simulators you should open the simh.sln file
|
|
in this directory.
|
|
|
|
If you are using a version of Visual Studio beyond Visual Studio 2008, then
|
|
your later version of Visual Studio will automatically convert the Visual
|
|
Studio 2008 project files. You should ignore any warnings produced by the
|
|
conversion process.
