Mathematica Wrapper¶

Pre-compiled Binaries¶

Pre-compiled binaries can be downloaded from Mathematica, which come from the nightly snapshots.

Place the shared library for your platform (windows: CoolProp.dll, OSX: CoolProp.dylib, linux: CoolProp.so) in the directory that you can obtain from Mathematica:

FileNameJoin[{$BaseDirectory, "SystemFiles", "LibraryResources", $SystemID}]

If this directory doesn’t yet exist, create it. At the command prompt, you should be able to call FindLibrary["CoolProp"]

There is a small example file example.nb that demonstrates how to call the functions in the DLL which can be downloaded from Mathematica

User-Compiled Binaries¶

Common Requirements¶

Compilation of the Mathematica wrapper requires a few common wrapper pre-requisites

Linux and OSX¶

Once the dependencies are installed, you can run the builder and tests using:

# Check out the sources for CoolProp
git clone https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp --recursive
# Move into the folder you just created
mkdir -p CoolProp/build && cd CoolProp/build
# Build the makefile using CMake
cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_MATHEMATICA_MODULE=ON -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON
# Make the shared library
cmake --build .

Windows¶

You need to just slightly modify the building procedure

Checkout and preparation:

# Check out the sources for CoolProp
git clone https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp --recursive
# Move into the folder you just created
cd CoolProp
# Make a build folder
mkdir build && cd build

Pick a toolchain (A or B)

A: Building using Visual Studio:
# Build the makefile using CMake
cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_MATHEMATICA_MODULE=ON -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -G "Visual Studio 10 2010 Win64"
If you have a different version of Visual Studio installed, replace the generator name in the -G argument

B: Building using MinGW:
# Build the makefile using CMake
cmake .. -DCOOLPROP_MATHEMATICA_MODULE=ON -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON -G "MinGW Makefiles"

Actually do the build:

# Make the shared library
cmake --build . --config Release
