Installing on Windows without Visual Studio #82

Closed kingoftheconnors closed 4 years ago

kingoftheconnors commented 4 years ago

Greetings! I'm trying to use this library to make a cross-platform networking program using sockets. So far, I cannot install the library.

I am not using Visual Studio, and I never plan to. The wiki only describes using the "make" command after using cmake, which doesn't work on Windows. Calling mingw32-make on any of the vsxproj files or the .sln file returns Nothing to be done for '________'

What should I do?

Hi,

Which compiler do you want to use? MinGW?

kingoftheconnors commented 4 years ago

Yes. I'm using VSCode, if that helps as well.

Then the steps would be the same as in the build instructions except two moments. First, you need to pass a proper generator name to cmake in order to generate project makefiles, i.e.

cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles"

The rest of cmake parameters are the same.

Afterwards, you build the library with mingw32-make command.

Oh, ok. Thanks!
