====== 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.

  - 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

  - 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
