Build

• Required environment

  • Windows OS
  • Visual Studio

• Visual Studio 2022 with v143 platform toolset on Windows 11 is confirmed to build successfully.

• Build steps:

  1. Clone this repository.
  2. Open powershell and execute install_dependencies.ps1. Libraries required to compile will be automatically downloaded from the internet and placed to appropriate directories.
  3. Open CGES.sln in Visual Studio and build.
  4. bin/ containing an executable file will appear in the project root directory.

• When debug build, the executable file will be aborted with exception caused by no resource data(3D models, textures).

  • Redistribution of the data we use is prohibited. We are now dealing with this problem in progress.
  • When release build, the executable may work with error-color texture and no 3D-model.
