|
|
## Getting and Compiling Crow
|
||
|
|
### Using A package manager
|
||
|
|
#### VCPKG
|
||
|
|
Crow can be simply installed through VCPKG using the command `vcpkg install crow`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Manually (source or release)
|
||
|
|
#### Microsoft Visual Studio and VCPKG
|
||
|
|
The following guide will use `example_with_all.cpp` as the Crow application for demonstration purposes. VCPKG will be used only to install Crow's dependencies.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Generate `crow_all.h` by navigating to the `scripts` folder and running `python3 merge_all.py ..\include crow_all.h`.
|
||
|
|
2. `git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git`
|
||
|
|
3. `.\vcpkg\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat`
|
||
|
|
4. `.\vcpkg\vcpkg integrate install`
|
||
|
|
5. Create empty Visual Studio project.
|
||
|
|
6. In solution explorer, right click the name of your project then click `Open Folder in File Explorer`.
|
||
|
|
7. Copy `crow_all.h`, `example_with_all.cpp`, `vcpkg.json` to opened folder.
|
||
|
|
8. Add `crow_all.h` to `Header Files` and `example_with_all.cpp` to `Source Files`.
|
||
|
|
9. In solution explorer, right click the name of your project then click `Properties`.
|
||
|
|
10. Under `vcpkg`, set `Use Vcpkg Manifest` to `Yes` and `Additional Options` to `--feature-flags="versions"`.
|
||
|
|
11. Set `Debug/Release` and `x64/x86`.
|
||
|
|
12. Run.
