# Build the Sample Programs

You can use the sample programs to validate that the Eduction EDK compiles, links, and runs correctly.

## UNIX

Use the following procedure to build the sample programs on UNIX.

To build the sample programs on UNIX

1. Navigate to the `c_api/test` directory.
2. Set the `PLATFORM` environment variable (refer to the makefile for more details).
3. Run `make dir=ext`.

The resulting binaries require that the shared object be in the library search path. By default, this is not the case, so a Perl script is provided to add the shared object to the search path by setting `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`. The script then runs the test binary. To run the script, use the following command:

    perl runtestedk.pl ext

The Perl script expects a valid Eduction OEM license key with the name `licensekey.dat` to be located in the `test` directory. If the test works correctly, you see a line of text in the output beginning with the string `PASS:`, otherwise you see the string `FAIL:`.

## Windows

To build the test executable binaries, a Visual Studio 2010 solution file, `test.sln`, is provided in the `test` folder.

The resulting binaries require that the `edk.dll` be in the library search path. By default, this is not the case, so a Perl script is provided to add the library to the search path and then run the test binary. To run the script, use the following command:

    perl runtestedk.pl ext

The Perl script expects a valid Eduction OEM license key with the name `licensekey.dat` to be located in the `test` directory. If the test works correctly, you see a line of text in the output beginning with the characters `PASS:`, otherwise you see `FAIL:`.
