But for this application to work on a computer that does not have OpenDCL installed we must include with our application its runtime module.
We can include the user interface created with OpenDCL in our LSP source code file. Once installed, the OpenDCL development environment may be started as a stand-alone program by double-clicking the icon created on the desktop or the Start menu. The OpenDCL runtime module is automatically registered for all versions of AutoCAD installed in the host computer.
The downloaded package includes an installer that creates the application’s folders and installs the necessary files. This chapter has been prepared using the ENU.7.0.0.4 version. OpenDCL has been enriched with the contribution of a large group of developers led by Owen Wengerd and David Robison in an open source project hosted on SourceForge, from where the application’s latest version can be downloaded. It is based on ObjectDCL, a commercial application by 3rd day Software that was released as open source under the GNU General Public License in 2006 by owner Chad Wanless.
