How to compile for Windows? #8

Closed kiner-shah closed 2 months ago

kiner-shah commented 3 months ago

I would like to help but currently the project only supports Linux. I would like to compile it for Windows. I checked the CMakeLists.txt but some code related to Windows is commented. I think it would be a good idea to add support for Windows.

Hi. In fact I used to develop this project on Windows 11 and I didn't even test if it works on linux. To compile it you should use CMake with your preferred generator. I use: cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" .. while beeing in build/ directory located inside project folder then execute make in this directory

Commented code were used to move OpenAL DLL which does not exist and OpenAL is as a static library. The project should compile correctly. Can you provide me with error message?

Aah, you compiled with MinGW. I meant using MSVC compiler.

I could build the project with msvc after creating files for Visual Studio 2022

Does it work for you?
