Question: compile package

[povpie]

What am I doing wrong? To compile the package on windows 10 I'm doing the following:

Download zip code from git and extract Open CMD and usecd C/filepath/src (I also tried with cd/filepath/dvisvgm-master) When I try to run ./configure I get the error: '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

The easiest way to build dvisvgm on Windows is to use MS Visual Studio 2022 (the free community edition is sufficient). File README in the vc folder contains some information about what to do. There's no need to build the single libraries separately and you don't need the autotools scripts, like configure.

Thanks Martin. What should I do with the files that I downloaded from https://github.com/mgieseki/ttfautohint-dll?

Hi Daniel, If you downloaded the zip file from the release section, you just need to extract its contents to directory vc\ttfautohint. You should also put ttfautohint.dll in a directory covered by the search path, e.g. the same directory where dvisvgm.exe or mutool.exe is located so that dvisvgm can find it later on.

Hi martin, I think I did all the steps but still got these errors:

If I try with the option "build dvgsvgm ctrl B" I get the following:

Did you copy the sources of the latest FreeType version (2.12.1) to vc\freetype? It seems there are some files missing, maybe because of an older release.

You also need to copy the contents of ttfautohint-1.8.4-dll64.zip to vc\ttfautohint. According to the compiler messages, theses files are missing too.

I recommend to build the release version instead of the debug one. Just selcte "Release" from the drop down list in the toolbar of Visual Studio.

Ok, finally. I had downloaded the wrong files or wrong versions. Now it was built in one go without problems. Thank you so much @mgieseki

Best.
