====== Compiling Orx dependencies for new Visual Studio editions ======

This document is a cheat sheet for compiling up orx dependencies for new editions of Visual Studio in order to contribute back the compiled libraries into the release versions of orx.

_This page is not for general use_, it is low traffic, and prone to frequent changes and errors. If you are looking for compiled orx dependancies, you can download a precompiled orx, or clone from the the regular repo.

===== Build libwebp =====

  - Switch to 32 bit compiler with: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64_x86\vcvarsamd64_x86.bat
  - In a Visual Studio console, go to the libwebp folder and: nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=release-static RTLIBCFG=static OBJDIR=output/32
  - Ignore errors, locate the lib at: libwebp\output\release-static\x86\lib\webpdecoder.lib
  - Switch to 64 bit compiler mode with: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64\vcvarsx86_amd64.bat
  - nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=release-static RTLIBCFG=static OBJDIR=output/64
  - Ignore errors, locate the lib at: libwebp\output\release-static\x64\lib\webpdecoder.lib
   
   
===== Build freetype =====

  - Install the latest version of CMake
  - Create a Visual Studio project with: cmake -DLIBTYPE=STATIC -G "Visual Studio 16 2022"
  - Open the freetype.sln solution with Visual Studio.
  - Switch to release, right click on the freetype project and select build to make the 32-bit static lib.
  - Find the 32 bit version in \Release\freetype.lib
  - For 64bit: Select the dropdown that says win32
  - Click and select Configuration Manager
  - In the Active Solution Platform dropdown, click <New>
  - Select x64 and copy from win32 (leave all options default)
  - In the freetype project properties
      - In C/C++->Code Generation
          - select Multithreaded (/MT)
      - In Librarian / Command Line
          - remove additional options relating to /machine:X86
  - In the common project properties
      - In Librarian / Command Line
          - remove additional options relating to /machine:X86
  - Right click the freetype project and select build to make the 64-bit static lib.
  - Find the 64bit version in x64\Release\freetype.lib

===== Build Liquidfun =====
  - Command window.
  - Go to folder to C:\Work\liquidfun\liquidfun\Box2D
  - cmake -DLIBTYPE=STATIC -G "Visual Studio 16 2022"
  - Open in Visual Studio
  - Go to Box2D project properties
  - There is only Win32 project. Set Code Gen / Runtime Library to Multi-threaded (/MT)
  - Add to disable warnings: 4456;4457;%(DisableSpecificWarnings)
  - Do for both Debug and Release
  - Copy Win32 to X64 with configuration editor
  - Go to Box2D project properties
  - In Librarian, remove Additional Options, remove 32bit Machine

===== Build GLFW =====
  - Copy build VC13 to VC14
  - Create a lib/msvs2014/32 and 64 folders
  - Open solution is Visual Studio
  - Allow it to convert the project
  - Convert the solution by selecting the solution in solution explorer, and save as over the top of the .sln
  - In both Win32 and x64 configurations, get properties on the Box2D project
  - In General / Output Directory - change to your new lib path and add a trailing slash.
  - Compile both Win32 and x64 configurations.
