How to build HPX with Visual Studio #1719

@brakmic Could you please add the Boost license and your copyright to your file (see here for how to do that: https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and for some rationale) |
|
@brakmic See here for the inspect report revealing the problem: https://circle-artifacts.com/gh/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx/1326/artifacts/0/tmp/circle-artifacts.IBeoeYz/hpx_inspect_report.html |
|
@hkaiser I've added the boost copyright and fixed the formatting (also found a small typo) |
|
Why was this closed? |
|
I thought that after the successful build the request can be closed and the patch-branch will be later merged. |

| * a) Download the *CMake 3.3.0* installer from <a href="http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.3/cmake-3.3.0-win32-x86.exe" target="_blank">here</a> <br/> | ||
| * b) Download *Portable Hardware Locality* from <a href="http://www.open-mpi.org/software/hwloc/v1.11/downloads/hwloc-win64-build-1.11.0.zip">here</a> and unpack it.<br/> | ||
| * c) Download *Boost libraries* from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.59.0/boost_1_59_0.zip/download">here</a> and upack them.<br/> |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
There is a typo here: "unpack"
thanks @sithhell

What would be the suggested way forward? This text needs to be integrated with our docs. Should we merge it and then integrate things? Or should we wait for the patch to be ready to put things directly into the docs? |
|
Honestly, I don't know because I've never had similar experiences. Committing a small document with a few pictures in it is usually nothing "expensive" and surely not involving a whole compilation that takes more than 2 hours. I didn't want to provoke such complexities by delivering a non-source-code file. I'm sorry for the confusion. |

@brakmic you did not cause any confusion, all is well. The question was targeted at the other developers, mainly. Thanks again for your contribution. BTW, would you be able to add the image files to this pull request as well? |

@hkaiser I've added the screenshots and put everything together in a subdir called "win32". |
|
Does anyone know why this test is failing? I've only uploaded a few images. Thanks! |
|
@brakmic I'm slowly coming around to have time integrating this with our docs. Do you want to update something based on your recent blog posts before I start merging it in? |
|
I'd only update the version numbers of Boost and CMake. Will do it immediately. |
|
@brakmic Thanks! |
Moved Harris' doc additions into the quickbook sources
How to build HPX with Visual Studio
This little tutorial is based on my experiences with building HPX under Windows 10 & VS2015. Many thanks to the HPX team for this wonderful library and especially to @biddisco and @hkaiser who patiently supported me during my efforts to build HPX on my machine.
