1. install CMake

CMake

Install CMake

1. open cmd (as admin)

   pip install cmake

2. check if everything works

   cmake --version

vcpkg

If you want to use new imports in the C++ script, these must be included in the vcpkg.jon and in the CMakeLists.txt.

In CMakeLists.txt, the new package must be inserted once in line 3:

set(PKGS directxtk12 glm imgui)

and line 40 must also be adapted:

target_link_libraries(${NAME_EXE} PRIVATE
    Microsoft::DirectXTK12
    glm::glm
    imgui::imgui)

Dependencies can be searched for here: https://vcpkg.io/en/packages

Create Visual Studio project

1. open cmd
2. navigate to the project (for example: D:\MyWorspace\GaussianSplatting)

   cd D:\MyWorspace\GaussianSplatting

3. create a new folder in which the project is created (e.g. build)

   mkdir build

4. navigate to the new folder

   cd build

5. create the project here based on the files in the parent folder (CMakeLists.txt and main.cpp must be in the parent folder)

   cmake ..

Compile project

1. navigate to the project

   cd D:\MyWorspace\GaussianSplatting

2. create an executable file

   cmake --build build

   The .exe file can now be found in GaussianSplatting/build/Debug/Gaussian-Splatting.exe
