Windows Build Tools and Scripts
|
|
===============================
|
|
This folder contains build tools and script for automatic building and deployment of IfcOpenShell's
|
|
(IFCOS) dependencies.
|
|
|
|
As a general guideline, `.cmd` files are non-standalone batch files that need to be run from command
|
|
prompt or from other batch file and/or Visual Studio environment variables set and `.bat` files are
|
|
standalone batch files that can be run also from the File Explorer.
|
|
|
|
Usage Instructions
|
|
------------------
|
|
Execute `build-deps.cmd` to fetch, build and install the dependencies. The batch file will print
|
|
requirements for a successful execution. The script allows a few user-configurable build options
|
|
which are listed in the usage instructions. Either edit the script file or set these values before
|
|
running the script.
|
|
|
|
build-deps.cmd expects a CMake generator as `%1` and a build configuration type as `%2`. If the parameters
|
|
are not provided, the default values are used (`"Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"` and `RelWithDebInfo` respectively).
|
|
A build type (`Build/Rebuild/Clean`) can be provided as `%3`, if wanted (defaults to `Build`). See `vs-cfg.cmd`
|
|
if you want to change the defaults. The batch file will create `deps\` and `deps-vs<VERSION>-<ARCHITECTURE>-installed\`
|
|
directories to the project root. Debug and release builds of the depedencies can co-exist by simply running
|
|
`build-deps.cmd <GENERATOR> Debug` and `build-deps.cmd <GENERATOR> <Release|RelWithDebInfo|MinSizeRel>`.
|
|
|
|
After the dependencies are build, execute `run-cmake.bat`. The batch file expects a CMake generator as
|
|
`%1`, or alternatively if more parameters are provided, `%*` is passed for the CMake invokation. If no `%1`
|
|
is provided, the same default value as above is used. This batch script will create a folder of form
|
|
build-vs<VERSION>-<ARCHITECTURE> which will contain the solution and project files for Visual Studio.
|
|
**If you wish to use any library from a custom location, modify the paths in run-cmake.bat
|
|
accordingly**.
|
|
|
|
You can now build the project using the `IfcOpenShell.sln` file in the build folder. Build the `INSTALL` project
|
|
if wanted. The project will installed to `installed-vs<VERSION>-<ARCHITECTURE>\` folder in the project's root
|
|
folder and the required IfcOpenShell-Python parts are deployed to the `<PYTHONPATH>\Lib\site-packages\` folder.
|
|
|
|
All of the dependencies are build as static libraries against the static run-time allowing the developer
|
|
to effortlessly deploy standalone IFCOS binaries.
