Windows Build Guide
To build the launcher we need:
- Visual Studio Community 2017.
- CMake.
Installing Visual Studio 2017
If you don’t have Community or Professional edition of Visual Studio 2017, download Visual Studio Community 2017.
When selecting components, check "Desktop development with C++". Also on the right on the Summary toolbar, check "Windows 8.1 SDK and UCRT SDK" and "VC++ 2015.3 v140 toolset (x86,x64)".
If you already have Visual Studio installed and need to add python, open the "Add or remove programs" control panel and find the "Microsoft Visual Studio Installer".
Installing CMake
Download and install the latest version of CMake 3.9.
Download the file named win64-x64 Installer from the CMake Website. You can access the installer on this 3.9 Version page. During installation, make sure to check "Add CMake to system PATH for all users" when prompted.
Running CMake to Generate Build Files
Run Command Prompt from Start and run the following commands:
cd "%LAUNCHER_DIR%"
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 Win64" -T v140
Where %LAUNCHER_DIR% is the directory for the PC light launcher repository.
