C++
With CMake and Visual Studio Express 12.0 (VS2013)
Initial configuration
Ensure you have installed:
CMake 3.0+ - The cross-platform, open-source make system.
Visual Studio Community 2013 for Windows Desktop - VS2013 for Windows Desktop is a minimum as cpp-Lattice Network uses languages features not supported in 2012. The Professional edition also works. (tested 10/2014)
Windows 7 SDK or Windows 8 SDK - for files like winsock2.h and gdi32.lib
Git for Windows 1.9.0+ - This for retrieving source from Github.
7-Zip - Ensure that 7z.exe has been added to the PATH.
Get the source
Execute the following step to download the latest source code
C:\> git clone https://github.com/lattice/cpp-lattice.gitRetrieve dependecies
Execute the following commands within a command shell to download all dependencies:
1. Getting dependencies
Note: The 'Debug'-configuration is also supported.
Build Lattice Network project
Execute the following commands within a command shell to build the project:
2. Generate solution with CMake
First generate the lattice solution and visual studio project files
Note: In-source build (running cmake in root directory) is not currently supported.
3. Compile with Visual Studio
double click on lattice.sln, open open project and then click Build, or:
compile from command line
Note: The 'Debug'-configuration is also supported.
Fresh builds
After setting up the dependencies and running your first successful build, unless there are changes to any of the dependencies, you can make a fresh build from the latest code much faster by just fetching the new code and rebuilding.
In the directory
C:\cpp-lattice>, run the commandgit pull.Enter
C:\cpp-lattice\build>and removeCMakeCache.txtRe-run steps 2 & 3.
