libexcel is a C based library for creating Excel XLS spreadsheets. It is heavily based on Spreadsheet::WriteExcel by John McNamara.

BUILDING

Simply change to the src directory and execute make (or gmake on BSD systems). BSD make is currently not supported you must use GNU make.

This will build a static library called libexcel.a You can then change into the tests directory to build some sample apps that utilize the library.

On Windows you can use mingw32 or the lcc-win32 compiler system. You may need to alter the makefile to set paths to your compiler.
