For Thesis Students: Visual INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPILING SWMM5.DLL USING MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 2010/2012

For Thesis Students:  Visual INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPILING SWMM5.DLL USING MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 2010/2012
=========================
The following is based on the readme.txt for compiling that EPA distributes with the SWMM5 install

1. Open the file swmm5.c in a text editor and make sure that the
   compiler directives at the top of the file read as follows:
       //#define CLE
       //#define SOL
       #define DLL   or the DLL will be created

2. Create a sub-directory named VC2010_DLL under the directory where
   the SWMM 5 Engine source code files are stored and copy SWMM5.DEF
   and VC2010-DLL.VCPROJ to it.

3. Launch Visual C++ 2010 and use the File / Open command to open
   the VC2010-DLL.VCPROJ file.

4. Issue the Build >> Configuration Manager command and select the
   Release configuration.

5. Issue the Build VC2010-DLL command to build SWMM5.DLL
   (which will appear in the Release subdirectory underneath the
   VC2010-DLL directory).

NOTE: The VC-2010 project file includes Open MP support which is
      only available with the Professional and higher versions of
      the compiler.

How it looks in the Windows directory

C:\SWMMandSoftware\VisualStudioSWMM5\swmm51010_engine\VC2010_DLL

Arbitrary Windows directory name with a Subfolder of the SWMM 5 engine followed by a Subfolder called VC2010_DLL with files SWMM5.DEF
   and VC2010-DLL.VCPROJ

If you want the Release version use Build/Release

Note on April 28, 2017 - I am including a link to a zip file of a working directory in VS 2012 and the directory C:\SWMMandSoftware\swmm51012_engine

You can download the entire directory (working using this link) http://blog.innovyze.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/swmm51012_engine.ziphttp://blog.innovyze.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/swmm51012_engine.zip
