Setting up VS2012 (express) solution to compile and reference muPDF WinRT #8

Closed P5music closed 11 years ago

P5music commented 11 years ago

Hello, I created a test solution in my VS2012 (express) environment and added a MuPDFWinRT project in it. I added reference to MuPDFWinRT but at compile time I get those errors about fitz.h. I installed git on my computer and dragged the MuPDFWinRT folder in the git user interface so it created a local repository. Now, I ask what I have to do to have all files and compile it? I am new to git so I did not understand the other threads about this issue. Thank you in advance if you can help me.

Hi, Sorry for delay in answer. There is not any difficult issues with git. Git is really easy and simple. You could read about git in this good book http://git-scm.com/book, but actually I have not used any difficult git features (only submodules http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules). You could find step by step guide here https://github.com/MishaUliutin/MuPDF.WinRT/issues/1#issuecomment-13975296 or I've added compiled binaries https://github.com/MishaUliutin/MuPDF.WinRT/tree/master/Binaries

Best Regards, Misha Uliutin

Thank you for answering. I tried to download the missing mupdf sources and compile the projects according to your instructions (in that other thread) but I think I messed things up so I think it is better for me to use your compiled binaries. But I am not able to download them, I do not find any real file to download. Is a git command needed? Can you help me for this? Thanks in advance.

If you have already cloned my repository just:

Thank you so much. I tried this: [code] C:\Users\myuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\MuPDF.WinRT-master [master +9 ~0 -0 !]> git pull git://github.com/MishaUliutin/MuPDF.WinRT.git remote: Counting objects: 279, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (150/150), done. remote: Total 279 (delta 126), reused 278 (delta 125) Receiving objects: 100% (279/279), 43.70 MiB | 375 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (126/126), done. From git://github.com/MishaUliutin/MuPDF.WinRT

I checked that folder and the files were timestamped with old timestamp, not with current time, so I think that error was fatal, no repository pulled?

MishaUliutin commented 11 years ago

Please run in folder:

    $ git fetch --all
    $ git reset --hard origin/master
P5music commented 11 years ago

sorry, running the first command I got

Fetching origin fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. error: Could not fetch origin Fetching upstream fatal: 'upstream' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists. error: Could not fetch upstream

Could you delete your current MuPDF.WinRT git repository and clone it again?

P5music commented 11 years ago

Thank you for your patience.

I cloned the repo anew but when I try to compile my test app (which has reference to the mupdfWinRT project inside the solution) I get from Visual Studio: Errore 1 Impossibile trovare il file di metadati 'C:\Users\myuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\mupdfWinRT\MuPDF.WinRT\Win8\Win32\Debug\MuPDFWinRT.winmd' C:\Users\myuser\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\App2\App2\CSC App2

and the usual “fitz.h not found” error. How to reference the included binaries (are they included, aren't)? I am not an expert, maybe I am wrong in silly ways, so every suggestion is welcome.

MishaUliutin commented 11 years ago

What kind of project do you want create? (Windows Phone 8 or Windows Store App)

P5music commented 11 years ago

I would like to create a Windows Store App.

MishaUliutin commented 11 years ago

You could download simple Windows Store App with MuPDF.WinRT there: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=83B239D3A039F8E8!1123

Thank you very much. It seems to be working. Best regards.
