Build with Visual Studio

  1. Install a recent version of CMake

  2. Install Visual Studio 14 2015 or Visual Studio 15 2017 with the C/C++ components

  3. Prepare a directory structure for DLite and 3rd party libraries:

    1. Select a root folder to create the directory structure. Ex:

      "C:\Users\{username}\Documents\"

    2. Create the following directory:

      {root}\local

    3. Clone the DLite repository in the root folder, creating the folder

      {root}\dlite

  4. Download hdf5 library archive from https://support.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/current/src/

  5. Copy of the file

         {root}\dlite\bootstrap-win.sh

    into the root folder and edit it as follows:

    1. Modify the variable CMAKE_PATH to the path of cmake directory
    2. Modify the variable ROOT_PATH to your root folder
    3. Modify the variable PYTHON_EXECUTABLE to Python version 3.x executable
    4. Check the version number of hdf5 library
    5. To build in Win64 mode, add '-G "Visual Studio 15 Win64"' after cmake command when generating the solution (not building)

  6. Open a git-bash window:

    1. Change the directory to your root folder
    2. Type sh bootstrap-win.sh and press enter

  7. Open the file

         {root}\dlite\build\dlite.sln

    in Visual Studio

  8. In Visual Studio:

    1. Select the solution configuration "Debug", then build the solution (Menu Build -> Build solution)
    2. Select the solution configuration "Release", then build the solution (Menu Build -> Build solution)

To run the tests, do

ctest -C Debug

Summary to build and install DLite when hdf5 and jansson lib are installed in the given path LOCAL_DIR

LOCAL_DIR=/C/Users/tco/Documents/Programs/philib/local
PATH=$PATH:$LOCAL_DIR/bin
cd dlite
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DHDF5_DIR=$LOCAL_DIR/cmake/hdf5 -DJANSSON_ROOT=$LOCAL_DIR/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$LOCAL_DIR/ ..
cmake --build . --config Debug --target doc
cmake --build . --config Debug --target install
cmake --build . --config Release --target install
ctest -C Debug
ctest -C Release
