Installing and Using DP4 C Tools and Libraries

This section tells you how to install and start using the DP4 C tools and Libraries. It is divided into the following topics:

• C/C++ Compilers Supported by DP4
• Setting Up the DP4 C Environment
• Building Programs

Additional information on building programs for Legacy platforms can be found on this pages:

• Compiling Legacy (16 bit) DP4 C Programs
• Linking Legacy DP4 C Programs

DP4 supports "object code portability" which allows DP4 programs written for one operating system to be converted to run on another operating system, without recompilation or relinking them. This is covered in Conversion Utilities.
