Hi,
I just downloaded the Windows version of the C++ code and tried to compile the visual studio project. Didn't compile, so I briefly scanned through the documentation online. It seems Linux got a lot of love, but the Windows information is quite thin. Don't have a lot of time to invest in this right now, but was hoping someone else has this up and running using the provided VS project, and if so could you share your steps please.
To say the least, the documentation is lacking.
Hi jwjs,
Thanks for your comments. To be honest, we weren't really sure how many people (a) would want to use the C++ code, (b) would want to compile the binaries from source, and (c) would be Windows vs Linux users. We've just added some extra information into the k-Wave manual about how to compile under Windows. Please let us know if you can't get it working, and we'll continue to improve the documentation.
Out of interest, is there any particular reason you wish to compile from source rather than using the compiled binaries provided?
Brad.
Hi Brad,
Yes, for me the issue is extension of k-Wave. I've been following (and using) k-Wave for some time now, and I have been extending it for my use. I want to add my changes into the C++ code and continue to modify it as I need. For me the Matlab version has always been more of a pain than a pleasure, so having access to a C++ version is a welcome addition.
I don't think I'll have much time to dig into this now, but I'll let you know if the addition to the documentation is able to get this up and running on my machine.
I realized I never updated this. I eventually left Windows (k-Wave c++ version) because of the dependence of the intel compiler. It has quite a restrictive license and it was much easier to get this running on another OS. Currently I'm mixing development between OSX and Linux and don't think I'll ever be going back to Windows as long as the dependence is in place. Just some feedback for you guys...
hi there
I am wondering if the source code will work, when compiled , in a stand alone mode, ie no matlab present?
I am trying to implement basic ultrasonic tomography with no time controls on the source
cheers

Hi Tim,
The C++ code is written so that it can be run independently of MATLAB. The input and output parameters (grid, medium, source, sensor) are saved and accessed using HDF5 files. These files can be created and opened using lots of different software platforms (including MATLAB, C++, Python, Java, etc). There's lots more information in Chapter 4 of the k-Wave user manual (see documentation).
Hope that helps,
Brad.
