Compiling on Windows

Requirements

As of now, the only supported/tested compiler on Windows is MSVC. This is packaged with Visual Studio, you can download the Community version for free here:

You can use the Visual Studio compiler to compile through CLion if that's what you're using. Just make sure your cmake profile is set to use Visual Studio as its toolchain. VisualStudioSettings

If you want to compile through the windows command-line you will need to install:

Compiling

CLion

If you've set your toolchain to use Visual Studio, simply hit the hammer icon to build. You should see it output a new folder with the executable and other build files.

Command-Line

If you've already downloaded the MSVC Build Tools, you should have access to the CL command-line tool1. Now that you have it you should be ready to compile. Make sure you're in the project directory and run the following commands2:

  1. mkdir build
  2. cd build
  3. cmake ..
  4. cmake --build . --target commander

This builds and compiles the commander executable.

Footnotes

  1. If you've downloaded the Build Tools, but can't run CL in the command-line. Try to use a Developer Powershell/Command-Line. ↩

  2. These commands are for PowerShell ↩
