This is a short instructional on getting Peter Birkholz's VocalTractLab code to compile/run.

Setup environment:

- Windows XP 32 bit
- Visual Studio 2008

Step 0: Compile wxWidgets

- Download wxWidgets. The version I used is 2.8.12.
- Follow the instructions http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/MSVC for compiling a static library.
The main addition is in \include\wx\msw\setup.h, change the line to
#define wxUSE_GLCANVAS 1 (instead of 0)
- Compile the library
- Add a system path called "WXWIN" to the root directory of wxWidgets (by default c:\wxWidgets2.8.12). You could also hard code this by replacing $(WXWIN) that appears later in this document with the explicit path.

Step 1: Compile VocalTractLab

- Open the VocalTractLab2.sln file (Visual Studio 2008 will ask for conversion. Do it)
- Right click on project in the solution explorer->Properties
- Go to Configuration Properties->C/C++

- Go to Configuration Properties->Linker/General
