Notes on Compiling on Windows

April 16, 2022

I initially followed these instructions, dated 2022-02-28:

https://intantech.com/files/Intan_RHX_source_code_setup.pdf

which recommends installing these components:

• Qt Creator 4.14.0
• Qt 64-bit 5.12.8
• MSVC 2017 64-bit (Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler 16.5.30011.22 (x86_amd64))

Steps taken:

1. Get Qt Online Installer:

   https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer

2. Custom install, checked "Archive" and re-ran filter, then installed the following components:

   • Qt 5.12.8
     • MSVC 2017 64-bit
   • Developer and Designer Tools
     • Qt Creator 7.0.0 (items below were all selected automatically)
       • Qt Creator 7.0.0 CDB Debugger Support
       • Debugging Tools for Windows
       • Qt Design Studio 3.2.0
       • CMake 3.21.1 64-bit
       • Ninja 1.10.2

3. Launched Qt Creator.

4. File > Open File or Project, selected IntanRHX.pro from the Intan-RHX repo.

5. Configure Project, selected only option: "Desktop Qt 5.12.8 MSVC2017 64bit"

6. Changed Debug to Release in the bottom-left corner, above the "Run" button (green arrow).

7. Clicked the "Build Project" button in bottom-left corner (hammer).

8. Clicked the "Run" button in bottom-left corner (green arrow).

   Worked, but got non-fatal errors at runtime: "Cannot load kernel file to read. Is kernel.cl present?". The instructions suggested this might happen. Clicking past these message allowed the program to run anyway.
