This directory contains a Mapcode encoding/decoding utility. To build the original Mapcode tool, execute:

cd ../mapcodelib
gcc -O -c mapcoder.c
cd ../utility
gcc -O mapcode.cpp -lm -o mapcode ../mapcodelib/mapcoder.o

For help, simply execute:

./mapcode

As an example, type:

./mapcode --decode NLD XX.XX

This tool provides a rather extensive command-line interface to encode and decode Mapcodes.

If you use Microsoft Visual C++, you may need to add the following defines to your preprocessor settings:

NO_POSIX_THREADS
_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS
_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE
