Windows Install

Requirement

• C++11

Compiling and installing

This documentation aims to provide the building steps for a Windows environment containing the following tools:

• Appropriate terminal/shell
• Git (throw command-line)
• CMake (throw command-line)
• VS 2012+ (for C++11 support)

The library is based on cmake for the compilation. In order to build the library, you have to open a terminal and follow these steps:

# Clone the project
git clone https://github.com/Cylix/tacopie.git
# Go inside the the project directory
cd tacopie
# Generate the VC++ solution using CMake
cmake .
# Generate the VC++ solution using CMake, for x64 platform
cmake . -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" # Or any other valid platform/compiler version.

This will generate a tacopie.sln file (that is, a Visual Studio solution).

• Open this file with Visual Studio.
• Build the solution in the configuration (Debug, Release, ...) and for the platform (32, 64) of your choice.

Then, you can update your VC++ project configuration:

• VC++ Directories > Include Directories: Add TACOPIE_FOLDER_PATH/includes (with the appropriate value of TACOPIE_FOLDER_PATH).
• VC++ Directories > Library Directories: Add TACOPIE_FOLDER_PATH/{Debug|Release|...}/ (with the appropriate value of TACOPIE_FOLDER_PATH and configuration).
• Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies: Add tacopie.lib.

Finally, you just have to include <tacopie/tacopie> in your source files.
