3. Compile ExplorerPatcher
|
||||
|
||||
* Double click the ExplorerPatcher.sln to open the solution in Visual Studio. Choose Release and your processor architecture in the toolbar. Press F6 to compile.
|
||||
* Double click the `ExplorerPatcher.sln` file to open the solution in Visual Studio. Choose Release and your processor architecture in the toolbar. Press `[Ctrl]`+`[Shift]`+`[B]` or choose "Build" - "Build solution" to compile.
|
||||
|
||||
* Open an "x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" (for x86), or "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019" (for x64) (search that in Start), go to folder containing solution file and type:
|
||||
|
||||
* For x86:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
msbuild ExplorerPatcher.sln /property:Configuration=Release /property:Platform=x86
|
||||
msbuild ExplorerPatcher.sln /property:Configuration=Release /property:Platform=IA-32
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* For x64:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
msbuild ExplorerPatcher.sln /property:Configuration=Release /property:Platform=x64
|
||||
msbuild ExplorerPatcher.sln /property:Configuration=Release /property:Platform=amd64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The resulting exe and dll will be in "Release" folder (if you chose x86), or "x64\Release" (if you chose x64) in the folder containing the solution file.
|
||||
Debug builds mostly work as well, although they may have some quirks or issues. I mostly test the software as release builds.
|
||||
|
||||
The resulting libraries will be in the "build\Release" folder in the folder containing the solution file.
|
||||
|
||||
That's it. later, if you want to recompile, make sure to update the repository and the submodules first:
