This is a stand-alone guide for creating your first High Fidelity build for Windows 64-bit.
## Building High Fidelity
Note: We are now using Visual Studio 2017 and Qt 5.9.1. If you are upgrading from Visual Studio 2013 and Qt 5.6.2, do a clean uninstall of those versions before going through this guide.
### Step 1. Installing Visual Studio 2013
Note: The prerequisites will require about 10 GB of space on your drive.
If you don't already have the Community or Professional edition of Visual Studio 2013, download and install [Visual Studio Community 2013](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2013-community-vs). You do not need to install any of the optional components when going through the installer.
### Step 1. Visual Studio 2017
Note: Newer versions of Visual Studio are not yet compatible.
If you don’t have Community or Professional edition of Visual Studio 2017, download [Visual Studio Community 2017](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/).
When selecting components, check "Desktop development with C++." Also check "Windows 8.1 SDK and UCRT SDK" and "VC++ 2015.3 v140 toolset (x86,x64)" on the Summary toolbar on the right.
### Step 2. Installing CMake
Download and install the [CMake 3.8.0 win64-x64 Installer](https://cmake.org/files/v3.8/cmake-3.8.0-win64-x64.msi). Make sure "Add CMake to system PATH for all users" is checked when going through the installer.
Download and install the latest version of CMake 3.9. Download the file named win64-x64 Installer from the [CMake Website](https://cmake.org/download/). Make sure to check "Add CMake to system PATH for all users" when prompted during installation.
### Step 3. Installing Qt
Download and install the [Qt 5.6.2 for Windows 64-bit (VS 2013)](http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.6/5.6.2/qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2013_64-5.6.2.exe).
Download and install the [Qt Online Installer](https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/?hsCtaTracking=f977210e-de67-475f-a32b-65cec207fd03%7Cd62710cd-e1db-46aa-8d4d-2f1c1ffdacea). While installing, you only need to have the following components checked under Qt 5.9.1: "msvc2017 64-bit", "Qt WebEngine", and "Qt Script (Deprecated)".
Keep the default components checked when going through the installer.
Note: Installing the Sources is optional but recommended if you have room for them (~2GB).
### Step 4. Setting Qt Environment Variable
Go to `Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables > New...` (or search “Environment Variables” in Start Search).
* Set "Variable name": `QT_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`
* Set "Variable value": `%QT_DIR%\5.6\msvc2013_64\lib\cmake`
* Set "Variable value": `C:\Qt\5.9.1\msvc2017_64\lib\cmake`
### Step 5. Installing OpenSSL
Download and install the [Win64 OpenSSL v1.0.2L Installer](https://slproweb.com/download/Win64OpenSSL-1_0_2L.exe).
Download and install the Win64 OpenSSL v1.0.2 Installer[https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html].
### Step 6. Running CMake to Generate Build Files
Run Command Prompt from Start and run the following commands:
````
```
cd "%HIFI_DIR%"
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64"
````
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 Win64"
```
Where `%HIFI_DIR%` is the directory for the highfidelity repository.
@ -72,14 +75,6 @@ For any problems after Step #6, first try this:
Remove `CMakeCache.txt` found in the `%HIFI_DIR%\build` directory.
#### nmake cannot be found
Make sure nmake.exe is located at the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin
If not, add the directory where nmake is located to the PATH environment variable.
#### Qt is throwing an error
Make sure you have the correct version (5.6.2) installed and `QT_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` environment variable is set correctly.
Make sure you have the correct version (5.9.1) installed and `QT_CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH` environment variable is set correctly.
