BUILDING RIVWEBCAPI FOR WINDOWS USING MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 2013
[Courtesy of Todd Baker <bakert@rfa.org>]
------------------------------------------------------------------
- Prequesites Required - You must have the compiled library for libCurl
and ExPat. You need to point at these when building rivwebcapi. My libraries
were at c:\Project\
Follow these steps for building:
1) Create a Directory (I used c:\Project\rivwebcapi).
2) Copy the rivwebcapi directory (found in rivendell/apis) to that directory.
This means that the autogen.sh,Makefile.in,etc. and other files will be at
the top folowed by the other directories (test, rivwebcapi).
3) Start Visual Studio
4) Click 'File->New Project' and create a project with the name 'rivwebcapi'.
Its location should be where you copied everything (my example
'c:\Project\rivwebcapi'). This should create a 'rivwebcapi.sln' file.
5) In the Solution Explorer - click 'source files'. Right click and click
'Add->Existing Item'. Then highlight all of the source files that you are
there (*.c,*.h only). Click 'OK'.
6) Highlight 'rivwebcapi' - and right click - choose the bottom choice
'Properties->Configuration Properties->General->Configuration Type'.
The type should be 'Static library (.lib)'
- C/C++ General
Additional Include Directories:
Add C:\Project\curl-7.46.0\include.
C:\Project\expat\lib
C:\Project\rivwebcapi
- C/C++ - General
Warning Level: Warning Level3
Treat Warning as Errors: No (/WX-)
SDL Checks: blank (I actually removed what was there)
7) Click 'OK' to close Properties
8) Build Solution
Ensure that you are building Under 'Release - Win32' (Top drop downs)
You will see a bunch of warnings - but it "should" build anyway.
Last line of output is where the library was built. for me it was:
'C:\Project\rinwebcapi\Release\rivwebcapi.lib'
Use the directory where the static library was built in your application which
needs to use rivwebcapi. For me that was 'c:\Project\rivwebcapi\'
