For Windows computers with Visual C++ compiler already installed, read and follow the instuctions in QuickStart for Visual C++.

For builds within Cygwin and MinGW-Msys shells, read and follow the instructions in the QuickStart for Unix.

Prerequisites

Quick Start

  1. Download ADMB

    Download source distribution admb-11.5pre-src.zip.

    Double click downloaded zip file and copy admb directory to the Local Drive (C:\>).

    Alternative — Use Git client (see command below) to download directly from ADMB version control repository.

    C:\> git clone https://github.com/admb-project/admb.git
    

    This will download latest admb source repository to C:\admb\>.

  2. Build ADMB source

    Open Command Prompt window.

    Change to admb directory.

    C:\> cd admb
    

    To build with MinGW C++ compiler, use the command below.

    C:\admb\> utilities\make
    

    If debug symbols are needed, use the command below.

    C:\admb\> utilities\make debug
    

    To build with MinGW C++ compiler and Msys , use the command below.

    C:\admb\> make
    

    To build 64 bit with Rtools, use the command below.

    Note — The outdated make utility from Rtools is incompatible with ADMB build files.

    C:\admb\> utilities\make CXXFLAGS=-m64 LDFLAGS=-m64
    

    Note — When the build is completed, C:\admb\build\dist\> is the binary distribution directory.

  3. Use ADMB

    In the Command Prompt window, use the steps below to build and run the simple example.

    Change to simple example directory.

       C:\admb\> cd examples\admb\simple
    

    Build simple example.

       C:\admb\examples\admb\simple\> C:\admb\admb simple.tpl
    

    Run simple example.

       C:\admb\examples\admb\simple\> simple.exe
