Instructions for building libsigc++ on Visual Studio
|
|
====================================================
|
|
Building the libsigc++ on Windows is now supported using Visual Studio
|
|
versions 2013 or later in both 32-bit and 64-bit (x64) flavors,
|
|
via NMake Makefiles. Due to C++-11 usage, Visual Studio 2012 or
|
|
earlier is not supported.
|
|
|
|
libsigc++ itself has no external dependencies, but building the
|
|
benchmark test program will require an installation of the Boost
|
|
C++ libraries.
|
|
|
|
The following describes what items are built with the following
|
|
targets:
|
|
|
|
-all (or no target specified): The libsigc++ DLL and the example programs.
|
|
-test: The libsigc++ DLL and the test programs.
|
|
-benchmark: The libsigc++ DLL and the benchmark program.
|
|
|
|
The following are instructions for performing such a build. A 'clean' target is
|
|
provided-it is recommended that one cleans the build and redo the build if any
|
|
configuration option changed. An
|
|
'install' target is also provided to copy the built items in their appropriate
|
|
locations under $(PREFIX), which is described below.
|
|
|
|
Invoke the build by issuing the command:
|
|
nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=[release|debug] [PREFIX=...] <option1=1 option2=1 ...>
|
|
where:
|
|
|
|
CFG: Required. Choose from a release or debug build. Note that
|
|
all builds generate a .pdb file for each .dll and .exe built--this refers
|
|
to the C/C++ runtime that the build uses.
|
|
|
|
PREFIX: Optional. Base directory of where the third-party headers, libraries
|
|
and needed tools can be found, i.e. headers in $(PREFIX)\include,
|
|
libraries in $(PREFIX)\lib and tools in $(PREFIX)\bin. If not
|
|
specified, $(PREFIX) is set as $(srcroot)\..\vs$(X)\$(platform), where
|
|
$(platform) is win32 for 32-bit builds or x64 for 64-bit builds, and
|
|
$(X) is the short version of the Visual Studio used, as follows:

Explanation of options, set by <option>=1:

|
------------------------------------------
|
|
BOOST_DLL: When building the benchmark, link to a DLL build of the Boost
|
|
libraries. Required if your installation of the Boost libraries
|
|
are built as DLLs. Note that debug builds must link to debug
|
|
builds of Boost and release builds must link to releease builds
|
|
of Boost.
