Building from sourse on visual studio windows

[petrasvestartas]

Hi,

I would like to build build code from source.

I do not need any interface, but the algoritm. In that case do I need to install additional libraries like Eigen? Or it is part of code already?

Is there any step by step manual how to build the code from source on windows?

Hi @petrasvestartas, you can find instructions on this page: https://github.com/GeometryCollective/boundary-first-flattening. Most of the necessary dependencies are included in the project, but you will need to install Cmake and Suitesparse on your machine.

Dear @rohan-sawhney

Is it possible to have a console application example in C++ while using built libraries (without actually building the full project and its dependencies)? Or it is not so simple as in .NET languages?

I tried to build the project and for sure it complains about SuiteSparse library. I downloaded and built SuiteSparse library, where it must be placed to be recognized by cmake?

I have very small knowledge of C++ building projects, if there would be a more detailed explanation how to build the project for a noob like me it would be very helpful.

I solved the same problem, you can refer to my article: https://blog.csdn.net/weixin_38980073/article/details/121541937
