How to build on VS2017 #34

Open ElemarJR opened 6 years ago

ElemarJR commented 6 years ago

I am trying to build the system following the instructions, but it is failing.

I am using Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2017. Are there some up-to-date instructions?

Hi Elemar,

I was able to just run the latest Cmake GUI and choose the VS2017 build tools. With a little trickery you can even make the 64 bit chain. For that you have to supply some arguments to cmake (also on the GUI command line) something like "host=x64" after having chosen the VS2017.

Good luck.

I would also like a build guide for Windows 10 and VS 2017 please :)

PhilParisot commented 6 years ago

@alevonian can you give more detail on how you used the CMake GUI? Like what to put in for source code? and where the build the binaries etc? Thanks!

@grahamsellers I would really like your input on this. If I figure out how to do this with CMake and VS 2017 I will create a pull request to update HOWTOBUILD.txt

Hello, I have made it work.First, cd to "yourPath\extern\glfw-3.0.4", remove CMakeCache and CMakeFiles. Open powershell and switch to here, type "cmake -G 'Visual Studio 15'".Done and you can keep along with HOWTOBUILD.
