How to Run Examples on Linux* or Mac OS* Systems

  1. Install the software (e.g., into <installdir>).
  2. Set up the environment in your shell.
    For sh/bash/ksh: <installdir>/bin/tbbvars.sh
    For csh/tcsh: source <installdir>/bin/tbbvars.csh Note: Always source the tbbvars.* scripts by using one of the above commands; do not execute them directly. This step is only required once per shell window used.
  3. Compile and run an example (e.g., <installdir>/examples/test_all/fibonacci).
cd <installdir>/examples/test_all/fibonacci
make

How to Run Examples on Windows* Systems when Using Visual Studio*

Note: This example uses Visual Studio* .NET 2003. However, Visual Studio 2005 is similarly supported (using the same vc7.1 examples).

  1. Install the software (e.g., into <installdir>).
    Note: it is strongly recommended that you check the checkbox, during the install, to register environment variables.
  2. Open a command-prompt (cmd.exe) window that has the right environment defined for using Visual Studio*. For example, click Start and then use Programs » Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 » Visual Studio .NET Tools » Visual Studio .NET 2003 Command Prompt.
  3. Exit Visual Studio, if it is currently running.
  4. If you did not check the checkbox, during the install, to register environment variables, then set up the environment in your shell.
    <installdir>{ia32,em64t}vc7.1
