Windows build notes

Windows builds can use Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, or MinGW-w64 with Win32 threads (by passing cmake -G to generate the appropriate build configuration).

Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 Command Line

CMake can be used from the command line by following the build steps at the top of this file. CMake will select a default generator based on the environment, or one can be specified with the -G argument.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 IDE

Visual Studio 2017 adds in built support for CMake. CMake can be used from within the IDE via the following steps:

• Navigate to File -> Open -> Cmake...
• Open CMakeLists.txt file in the root of the project.

Note, to generate the build in the cubeb dir CMake settings need to be updated via: CMake -> Change CMake Settings -> CMakeLists.txt. The default configuration used by Visual Studio will place the build in a different location than the steps detailed at the top of this file.

MinGW-w64

To build with MinGW-w64, install the following items:

• Download and install MinGW-w64 with Win32 threads.
• Download and install CMake.
• Run MinGW-w64 Terminal from the Start Menu.
• Follow the build steps at the top of this file, but at step 4 run: cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ../cubeb
• Continue the build steps at the top of this file.
