Compiling instructions for Windows #12

Closed avrdude-t closed 1 year ago

avrdude-t commented 1 year ago

Could you write compiling instructions for Windows? I would like to develop on and for Windows but I've been unsuccessfull in trying to compile Skyscrapersim.

Sure, I just need to make sure the toolchain is together and updated. I'm glad you want to develop.

I wrote up instructions on how to build it. Try this out and see if it works for you, I didn't test it myself but it should work. The Windows section is at the bottom. https://github.com/eventhorizon5/skyscraper/blob/master/Compiling.md

I followed your instructions. At first I got a bunch of errors that said that Ogre couldn't be found. I looked in the additional include directories and discovered there was another env variable "OGRE_HOME_64" that you forgot to mention. After adding that variable and pointing it to C:\ogre-13.4.3\SDK and building a Release build it worked just fine. Building a debug build still doesn't work though.

Thanks for that, I added that environment variable to the doc, I'm glad it builds for you now.
