Distribution Structure
When Views is installed on your machine, several directories are created, some of them accompanied with a dedicated README file that you are advised to read. The following main directories are created:
bin and its subdirectories, provide sources and data for certain delivered editors. The content depends on what packages are installed.data and its subdirectories provide panel description files (suffixed .ilv) and icons, used by the delivered Views samples and editors. You should avoid modifying them. doc and its subdirectories provide the Views getting started sources.include and its subdirectories provide all Views class header files.lib and its subdirectories contain the Views libraries.samples and its subdirectories provide sample coding to let you see particular aspects of the classes provided by Views.src contains some Views source files, some of which are analyzed in this manual.studio contains the necessary files for building and launching the Views editor.tools and its subdirectories provide source files for tools that are extensions ofViews classes but not included in the library (see README for more details). Most of these tools can be executed on all platforms; hbm is for Microsoft® Windows® systems only.
In every main directory hierarchy, you find <system> subdirectories for your specific target systems and executable files. This structure guarantees the whole organization is shared and allows you to install different compiler systems, even different operating systems, on the same machine.
