Overview

This directory contains all of the files needed to build under Windows. Currently we build using Microsoft's nmake and MSVC 2012 and above.

Prerequesites

  1. Powershell 4.0 or above
  2. .NET Framework 4.5 or above

Refer to "PowerShell DS3 Module" documentation in the DS3 Net sdk for information about PowerShell installation.

Basic Build

To create a release package, run /win32/package.bat. Note that this script executes the Visual Studio 2012 Command Prompt environment script, so if you're using a different version of Visual Studio you'll have to modify the Visual Studio install path inside of /win32/package.bat.

To build the client including the sample executable do the following

  1. Open a new Visual Studio Command Prompt.
  2. Run the following command: nmake -f Makefile.vc
  3. Makefile.vc places the resulting binaries inside of /win32/output/bin by default.

Dependencies

The SDK depends upon several open source libraries. For convenience we redistribute these dependencies in the /win32/deps/install directory.

To re-build the dependencies, follow the following procedure:

  1. Delete the built dependency directory at /win32/deps/install.
  2. Download and extract the dependency library packages.
    • The Unix shell script at /win32/deps/build/download_and_unzip.sh can do this for you, but you don't strictly need to use it. You can also manually download the URLs and extract using whatever utility you like. Note that the glib package must be extracted to /win32/deps/build/prebuilt.
  3. The Windows batch file /win32/deps/install.bat compiles and installs the dependencies into the /win32/deps/install directory. It executes the Visual Studio 2012 Command Prompt environment script, so if you're using a different version you'll have to modify the Visual Studio install path inside of install.bat.
