Install gclib

.exe .zip

Installation Types

Galil provides an executable installer (recommended) and a zipped archive (for portable installations).

Note that the installer will also automatically install gcaps and (optionally) the Galil PCI driver. With a zip installation, users will need to run the bundled installers manually.

Supported Platforms

  • Windows 11 64-bit (x64)

Silent Installation

For developers wishing to bundle gclib within their own installers, execute the installer with the /S switch to run silently with defaults.

Installing Older Versions

Warning

Galil recommends first removing any installed versions of software before installing an older version.

Download links for older versions can be found on the release notes.

Latest builds for older versions:

Installation Directories

The installation is organized into several directories.

  • bin contains the gclib binaries (DLL files).
  • doc contains the API documentation and a printable, pdf version.
  • etc contains gcaps and PCI driver installers.
  • examples contains examples for all supported languages, as demonstrated in the API documentation.
  • include contains header files needed for compiling code. The compiler will need to know where these files are.
  • lib contains linker files (gclib.lib and gclibo.lib). The linker will need to know where these files are.
