Windows MSVC dev setup

Unfortunately, there isn't a scripted Windows build environment setup at the moment.

But if you want to get it set up manually, here's what I'm using for 64-bit MSVC builds:

• Visual Studio Community 2015 - Offline ISO image w/ Update 3: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=615448&clcid=0x409
• Qt 5.8 prebuilt Open Source edition - offline installer (64-bit https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.8/5.8.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2015_64-5.8.0.exe, 32-bit would be https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.8/5.8.0/qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2015-5.8.0.exe)
• Libmpv - grab a recent dev download from https://mpv.srsfckn.biz/ and extract it somewhere
• A .def file for Libmpv suitable for creating the .lib: The mpv.srsfckn.biz Windows builds don't include this, so you'll have to grab the corresponding file from the mpv source, e.g. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/v0.25.0/libmpv/mpv.def from v0.25.0 is current; put it in your mpv dir and add a line EXPORTS at the top
• An OpenSSL 1.0.x build from https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html (64-bit light install https://slproweb.com/download/Win64OpenSSL_Light-1_0_2k.exe, 32-bit would be https://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL_Light-1_0_2k.exe)

When installing VS, you'll need to make sure to select these optional components:

• Programming Languages -> Visual C++
  • Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015
  • Windows XP Support for C++

When installing Qt, you'll need to make sure to select these optional components:

• Qt5.8
  • msvc2015

My build script, named build.cmd and dropped in the source dir (adjust the variables at the top for your paths):

set QTDIR=i:\qt\5.8\msvc2015_64
set MPVDIR=i:\mpv
set SSLDIR=c:\OpenSSL-Win64
rem The Microsoft SDKs are from the Visual Studio 2015 Community install (make sure Windows XP support for C++ is selected)
set SDKDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs
set WINKITSDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits

set VCINSTALLDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC

set VCBINS=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\amd64

set TARGET=%1

if "%1"=="" (
	echo "specify release or debug"
	exit /b
)

if exist %TARGET%\orion.exe erase %TARGET%\orion.exe

if not exist libs mkdir libs

copy /y "%MPVDIR%\mpv-1.dll" libs
copy /y "%SSLDIR%\libeay32.dll" libs
copy /y "%SSLDIR%\ssleay32.dll" libs

lib /def:%MPVDIR%\mpv.def /name:%MPVDIR%\mpv-1.dll /out:%MPVDIR%\mpv.lib /MACHINE:X64 || (pause; exit /b 1)

%QTDIR%\bin\qmake orion.pro
"%VCBINS%\nmake" %TARGET% || (pause; exit 1)

%QTDIR%\bin\windeployqt --qmldir src\qml %TARGET%\orion.exe

copy /y "libs\mpv-1.dll" %TARGET%
copy /y "libs\ssleay32.dll" %TARGET%
copy /y "libs\libeay32.dll" %TARGET%

My MSVC project settings:
