# Building on Windows with vcpkg
|
|
|
|
This will require more than 30GB of free space on your hard drive.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
1. Install [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/) with "Desktop development with C++"
|
|
1. Install [CMake](https://cmake.org/)
|
|
1. Install [git](https://git-scm.com/)
|
|
1. Install [vcpkg](https://vcpkg.io/)
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
|
|
cd vcpkg
|
|
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
|
|
.\vcpkg integrate install
|
|
.\vcpkg integrate powershell
|
|
cd ..
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Configure the environment variables for vcpkg.
|
|
Check [this document](https://gist.github.com/mitchmindtree/92c8e37fa80c8dddee5b94fc88d1288b#setting-an-environment-variable-on-windows) for more information for how to set environment variables on Windows.
|
|
- Ensure your dependencies are built as 64-bit
|
|
e.g. `setx VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET x64-windows`
|
|
See [documentation about Triplets](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/vcpkg/users/triplets)
|
|
[default](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/blob/master/docs/users/triplets.md#additional-remarks) is `x86-windows`
|
|
- Set VCPKG_ROOT to the vcpkg path
|
|
e.g. `setx VCPKG_ROOT <path to vcpkg>`
|
|
See [VCPKG_ROOT documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/vcpkg/users/config-environment#vcpkg_root)
|
|
- Append the vcpkg path to your path
|
|
e.g. `setx PATH "%PATH%;<path to vcpkg>"`
|
|
- For more configurations, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/vcpkg/users/config-environment
|
|
1. You may need to restart your computer to ensure all your environment variables and what-not are loaded everywhere.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
1. Clone

|
```
|
|
1. Build
|
|
```powershell
|
|
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$Env:VCPKG_ROOT/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
|
|
cd build
|
|
cmake --build . --parallel <threads> --config Release
|
|
```
