Installing Astade under Windows

To work with Astade you need a working toolchain, consisting of a c++ compiler and the usual unix-tools, like make. To see the generated UML diagrams you need the dot-graphics package. The Astade Code generators are generating commented code, capable for postprocessing with Doxygen to get a nice source documentation, mixed with impressive interactive class-diagrams.

• go to http://toolchain.astade.de/ , get the following installers:
• MinGW-i686
• bin
• wxWidgets 2.9
• spirit-1.8.5-miniboost
• graphviz-2.14.1
• install all the packages
• the installers should set some enviroment variables - these variables will be used by the Astade Make files.
• get the last Astade Windows Installer from the download page

The first steps should be: check, weather the compiler is working - perhaps you write a new “Hello world”….

After this check, wether make is installed correctly - e.g. call make –version , it should state something about GNU make….

Now call Astade for the first time. Maybe you want to have a look on the tutorial for that.

At first you should adjust alle the application paths in the settings dialog - especially the path to make must be present…
