[epiar-devel] compiling with visual studio (windows)

 The only thing that`s needed is to run the bat file CMake in ..\Epiar\Build\cmake and DON`T have any of the dependencies installed. If by any chance you do, you have to change the paths(click on the "advanced" checkbox in the cmake ui to show all of them)

This is how I did it after a whole week of trying with msys. Someone with more knowledge in cmake can write the tutorial, this message is only for immediate use.

            Good! If it's not already up, once you chaps figure it out, could    you write a page on our Trac explaining how to compile via cmake?

                  As for your cmake specific questions, Maoserr is the expert          and          he'll probably respond with more info than I can give you, but          cmake is          one of the many build systems available and Maoserr maintains          cmake          files for Epiar.          
                  cmake runs on Windows and Linux and can automatically          ensure          dependencies are configured and installed (e.g. SDL, libxml2,          etc.) and          even generates the Visual Studio files should you choose to          develop/compile on Visual Studio.          
                  I've never installed cmake on Windows (I use the GNU build          tools          myself on Linux and OS X) but you can find more information          about it          here:

              1. I've never used cmake so i'm a little unsure of what              configuring you              are talking about.
              
              2. by having the dependencies installed do you mean having              the source              downloaded and in the directory, or is there another step              after that?
              
              sorry for all the questions, i'm fairly new to this so              it's a little              confusing but i want to learn it so i can help with the              project
              
              thanks

I've mentioned this to arke a  couple of times (he's really big on Visual Studio) but unfortunately  he's too busy right now t
 o work on it.Once somebody has working (and portable! no path dependencies!) Visual  Studio files, we should maintain a "Windows" port of the tree -- not  merging it into the real tree because, iirc, Visual Studio workspace  files are a bit unreasonable in size.On Aug 5, 2010, at 8:18 AM, Maoserr wrote:                                             you don't need to download any dependencies, the cmake script will do  thatfor you.On Thu, 05 Aug 2010 00:25:03 -0400, Doug Mirro    wrote:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   _______________________________________________epiar-devel mailing list epiar-devel at epiar.net  http://epiar.net/mailman/listinfo/epiar-devel                                              _______________________________________________epiar-devel mailing list
