EXECUTABLE

SPIDER.EXE
COMPILING AND LINKING THE EXECUTABLE If you wish to modify SPIDER source code, you will have to compile the source code on your computer. Use the following commands to save the original executable file under another name and compile and link all of SPIDER:
cd SPIDER_DIR\src rename ..\bin\spider.exe spider00.exe NMAKE /f Makefile_NT
If the NMAKE operation fails or the new executable does not run, please check the following,

1. Do you have nmake.exe ( Makefile driver ) and cpp.exe ( C Preprocessor ) in your computer and is the path correct?
2. Are names of compiler and linker correct in Makefile_NT ? ( Refer to MAKEFILE )
3. Is there any preemptive file who has an identical filename of compiler or linker in your computer?

If these do not help, contact us at the address below.
MAKEFILE The makefile Makefile_NT was originally created by Digital Visual Fortran 5.0, if you're using a compiler other than Digital Visual Fortran5.0, please make sure to replace the filenames df.exe and link.exe in Makefile_NT with the appropriate filenames of that compiler, and specify the path if necessary.
Makefile_NT does C preprocessing for each .f file in SPIDER_DIR\src directory and name them temp.f and compile them one by one. After all the files being compiled, it links the object files to creat the new executable spider.exe, and moves it to SPIDER_DIR\bin directory.
