Translating and linking under Windows systems

A program that wants to use the openFT program interface must be linked with the import library ftapi.lib. This library is located in the openFT\lib directory of the openFT installation directory.

During runtime, the library ftapi.dll is also dynamically loaded from the directory ..\openFT\bin.
ftapi.lib and ftapi.dll were created using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

64-bit support in Windows systems

A 64-bit DLL with the name ftapi64.dll for the Windows x64 systems is also provided.
During openFT installation, the ftapi64.dll variant corresponding to the employed operating system is automatically installed in the directory ..\openFT\bin.
The associated import library ftapi64.lib is located in the directory ..\openFT\lib\x64 in the case of Windows x64 systems.
