Support of open-source C++ compiler for Windows #514

Open yvanblanchard opened 3 weeks ago

yvanblanchard commented 3 weeks ago

Hello,

In the doc, there is requirement for Visual Studio C++ compiler for Windows: is it possible to use other open-source C++ compilers ?

What’s your goal?

You can use Clang-CL on Windows (the library is actually compiled with it). Latest Visual Studio has an option to install it.

If you want to cross-compile to Windows from other machines you can use Clang as long as you have it target the MSVC ABI. (I think you’ll also need a copy of the Windows SDK that has been extracted).

Thank you for your quick reply. I want to use a free C++ compiler , in VS Code. Thus, I don't want to use VisualStudio.

Sorry, just a last question (unrelated): Do you have links for finding other more detailed examples ? I am looking for example with an embedded 3D viewer and docked widgets to interact with (loading a STL mesh, displaying mesh data in widgets,..).
