The following installation instructions are based on MinGW-w64 which is therefore recommended for inexperienced users. Download and installation are described here: (optional) Install a development environment for C++ such as Eclipse or MS Visual Studio C++ Compiler for Windowsįirst of all, you need to install a C++ compiler.Extract the source code to your desired 4diac FORTE source folder.Download the 4diac FORTE source code as zip-File here.Install a compiler for Windows or Unix-based systems.In this section, the details for Windows and Unix-based systems are explained, since most user's first test is done on these platforms.įor other platforms, links are provided here. In order to use own Function Blocks, you will need to build 4diac FORTE from the source code. If you want to develop your own Function Blocks or to run 4diac FORTE on control devices, you have to download and set up 4diac FORTE for the specific platform you are using as shown in the next sections. If you want to start using 4diac IDE right away, you can skip the rest of the page and go directly to the step by step tutorial or the Start Here-page. The step by step tutorial will direct you to making a simple application with 4diac IDE and pre-built 4diac FORTE. It can be used for applications unless you need own Function Blocks. 4diac FORTEįor conducting first experiments with Eclipse 4diac, you can use the pre-built version of 4diac FORTE which is available as download for Linux and Windows. This option aims mainly at 4diac IDE developers or people who wish to extend 4diac IDE. If you want to run 4diac IDE from source, follow the installation steps.
