Libbsa is a free software library for reading and writing BSA files.
Libbsa uses CMake to generate build files. Instructions for Windows are given below.
- Boost v1.55+ Filesystem, Iostreams and Locale libraries
- Google Test: Required to build libloadorder's tests, but not the library itself. Tested with v1.7.0.
- zlib v1.2.8
The Google Test and zlib dependencies are automatically managed by CMake, but Boost must be obtained separately.
bootstrap.bat
b2 toolset=msvc threadapi=win32 link=static runtime-link=static variant=release address-model=32 --with-iostreams --with-filesystem --with-locale --with-system
link, runtime-link and address-model can all be modified if shared linking or 64 bit builds are desired. Libloadorder uses statically-linked Boost libraries by default: to change this, edit CMakeLists.txt.
Libbsa uses the following CMake variables to set build parameters:
| Parameter | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS |
ON, OFF |
Whether or not to build a shared libbsa. Defaults to ON. |
PROJECT_STATIC_RUNTIME |
ON, OFF |
Whether to link the C++ runtime statically or not. This also affects the Boost libraries used. Defaults to ON. |
You may also need to define BOOST_ROOT if CMake can't find Boost.
- Set CMake up so that it builds the binaries in the
buildsubdirectory of the libbsa folder. - Define any necessary parameters.
- Configure CMake, then generate a build system for Visual Studio.
- Open the generated solution file, and build it.
