This page is mainly intended as a memory aid when building this library manually under Windows. The automated Travis build should mean that there is no need to manually perform these build steps
Follow these steps:
-
Download and execute the CMake Win32 Installer. Make sure to set the PATH variable during installation
-
Download and install mingw-w64. The automatic installer seems to be pretty broken at the moment, so you will probably need to grab a build bundle from here. Get the x86_64 posix-seh release. Unzip this somewhere, and copy the mingw64 directory to C:\
-
Add the mingw-w64 programs to the system PATH variable (eg. add this string C:\mingw64\bin)
-
Download horusdemodgui using git or by downloading a zip archive and unzipping it
-
Open a Windows PowerShell / Command Prompt and navigate to the folder where you just put horusdemodgui
-
Execute the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"
mingw32-make
If all goes well you should now have libhorus.dll in the build/src directory.
Issues
This doesn't build completely statically, and the following DLLs seem to be required for this dll to work on other Windows installs:
- libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
- libwinpthread-1.dll
- libstdc++-6.dll (maybe...)
