Building on Windows

Tools

• Microsoft Visual Studio >= 2019
• CMake 3.29
• C++20
• LLVM Clang(-cl) (TODO: test MSVC)
• vcpkg

Preparation

Open Vert Desktop Folder Visual Studio

Go to Tools -> Options...

Find CMake -> General, set custom CMake Executable Directory

Press OK

Install all dependencies using vcpkg:

vcpkg integrate install

vcpkg install opengl:x64-windows-static

vcpkg install glfw3:x64-windows-static

vcpkg install imgui[core,opengl3-binding,glfw-binding]:x64-windows-static

vcpkg install spdlog:x64-windows-static

vcpkg install nlohmann-json:x64-windows-static

MAKE SURE YOU SET ALL THE PATHS IN CMakeSettings.json CORRECTLY! (for example, vcpkg toolchain path, dependencies paths etc.)

Building

Configure CMake with vcpkg toolchain file (I'm lazy to show you how, sorry) and press Build

Done!
