Building Manually

To compile TaikoArcadeLoader, you'll need to install MSVC.

Loading this project in CLion or VSCode with the cmake tools addon should then allow you to build the project.
Do note that the .sln files created after you run the configure command CAN be opened using Visual Studio or Rider.
If you want to build yourself, here are some instructions on how to do this from a cmd shell.

Clone this repository, open cmd and run the following commands:

# Load the MSVC environment (Change this to your actual vcvarsall.bat path)
call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64

# Configure the build folder (this is only needed the first time)
cmake -B build -S . -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

# Build TaikoArcadeLoader
cmake --build build --config Release --target bnusio

The compiled dll of TaikoArcadeLoader will be written in the dist folder.
