Notes on Compiling on Windows

1. Installed Visual Studio Community 2022:

   https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/

   Using Visual Studio Installer, installed:

   • Workloads:
     • Desktop development with C++

2. Installed Qt 5:

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

   Using Qt Online Installer for Windows, selected "Custom installation", checked "Archive" and re-ran the 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. Added this to the end of my Path environment variable:

   C:\Qt\5.12.8\msvc2017_64\bin
   

4. Opened the "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022" prompt, and then built the application using my new Makefile:

   cd C:\Users\jeffr\Documents\Research\Intan-RHX\Intan-RHX
   nmake -f Makefile.Win64
   

   which is essentially the same as this (with extra steps like copying a README and license file):

   cd C:\Users\jeffr\Documents\Research\Intan-RHX\Intan-RHX
   mkdir build
   cd build
   qmake ..\IntanRHX.pro
   nmake release
   windeployqt --dir release-deploy release\IntanRHX.exe
   cp release\IntanRHX.exe ..\kernel.cl ..\libraries\Windows\okFrontPanel.dll ..\FPGA-bitfiles\* release-deploy
   

5. Renamed and zipped the release-deploy directory for distribution.
