<p class=MsoNormal>I did the following steps to make cspice.dll:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>0. Download Visual C 32bit cspice.exe from NAIF
Toolkit and extract it<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. Put attached files: 'cspice.def', 'mkcspice_dll.bat' into
(somewhere)\cspice\src\cspice<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. Make 'erf' and 'erfc' functions due to the lack of these
functions in VC++<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal># attached 'erf.c' works for 32 bit architecture (put it in
the same directory above)<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>3. Execute mkcspice_dll.bat<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal># cspice.dll can be found in (somewhere)\cspice\lib<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Just in case, I'll show a sample code using cspice.dll.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>ConsoleApplication1.exe, de421.bsp, and cspice.dll must be
in the same directory.<o:p></o:p></p>
