@subsection building-windows Building on Windows |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows, if you don't want to touch the command-line, the easiest way is to |
|
|
|
|
install QtCreator (just QtCreator, you don't need the full Qt SDK) and |
|
|
|
|
configure it to use MinGW and CMake. |
|
|
|
|
On Windows you can use either MinGW or MSVC 2013 compiler. It's then up to you |
|
|
|
|
whether you will use QtCreator, Visual Studio or do the build from command- |
|
|
|
|
line. Note that for most convenient usage it's best use some dedicated |
|
|
|
|
directory (e.g. `C:/Sys`) for installing dependencies instead of putting each |
|
|
|
|
dependency to its own directory in `C:/Program Files`. Then add its `bin/` |
|
|
|
|
subdir (e.g. `C:/Sys/bin`) to PATH so all the DLLs are found when running the |
|
|
|
|
executables. If you are using MinGW, the `C:/MinGW` directory is in most cases |
|
|
|
|
already prepared for exactly this. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For most convenient usage it's best to install (or copy/paste) all library |
|
|
|
|
dependencies into directory where MinGW is installed (e.g. `C:/MinGW/`), |
|
|
|
|
following proper filesystem hierarchy, i.e. headers into `include/` and |
|
|
|
|
binaries into `bin/` or `lib/`. CMake will then have no problem finding them |
|
|
|
|
and you won't need to explicitly specify path to each one. |
|
|
|
|
When running CMake, set `CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH` and `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` |
|
|
|
|
parameters to that directory so CMake knows where to look for installed |
|
|
|
|
libraries and where to install new ones. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then just open project's root `CMakeLists.txt` file within QtCreator. It then |
|
|
|
|
@subsubsection building-windows-msvc Using Visual Studio |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows CMake by default creates Visual Studio project files. You need to |
|
|
|
|
use `compatibility` branch to compile with MSVC 2013, as said above. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most straightforward way to build and install the library is again via the |
|
|
|
|
command-line. The bonus point is that you don't even need to wait for Visual |
|
|
|
|
Studio to load: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir build |
|
|
|
|
cd build |
|
|
|
|
cmake -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH="C:/Sys" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:/Sys" .. |
|
|
|
|
cmake --build . |
|
|
|
|
cmake --build --target install . |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to build and install from Visual Studio, just open the `Magnum.sln` |
|
|
|
|
project file generated by CMake in the build directory. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@subsubsection building-windows-qtcreator Using QtCreator |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Windows you can also use QtCreator (just QtCreator, you don't need the full |
|
|
|
|
Qt SDK). Configure it to use CMake and either MSVC compiler or MinGW and and |
|
|
|
|
then just open project's root `CMakeLists.txt` file within it. QtCreator then |
|
|
|
|
asks you where to create build directory, allows you to specify initial CMake |
|
|
|
|
parameters and then you can just press *Configure* and everything is be ready |
|
|
|
|
to be built. |
|
|
|
|
parameters (e.g. `CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH` and `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`) and then |
|
|
|
|
you can just press *Configure* and everything is ready to be built. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the initial import you might want to reconfigure some CMake variables, |
|
|
|
|
see @ref building-features "below" for more information. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For most convenient usage it's best to set `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` to directory |
|
|
|
|
where MinGW is installed (e.g. `C:/MinGW/`) and add `C:/MinGW/bin` and |
|
|
|
|
`C:/MinGW/lib` to `PATH`. Installation to given prefix can be then done from |
|
|
|
|
within QtCreator by adding new `make install` build rule. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If CMake isn't able to find dependencies (e.g. %Corrade is not found), point |
|
|
|
|
`CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH` and `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX` to installation prefix of |
|
|
|
|
dependency libraries, e.g. specify `-DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH=C:/MinGW/` CMake |
|
|
|
|
parameter. |
|
|
|
|
Installation to given prefix can be done from within QtCreator by adding new |
|
|
|
|
`make install` build rule. |
