I'd love some instructions on how to build using VS2022 with a CMakeList console app

Open adamsd5 opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I'm new'ish to cmake, certainly so on Windows. But I have a VS2022 Cmake console app running. It is unclear to me how to setup the lz4 library (which I've downloaded and added the include/lib paths to my CMakeList.txt). Also, I've setup my git path and attempted to use set(LZ4_STREAM_UseBundledLz4 TRUE). However, I cannot get it to work.

I get an error about needing: lz4_stream/thirdparty/lz4/LibLz4-prefix/src/LibLz4/visual/VS2010/bin/_Debug/liblz4_static.lib

Building C++ code on Windows is complicated and not really related to this project, so I'm afraid I cannot help you with this.

I suggest you find some resources/forums related to C++ on Windows.

Good luck.

Noted, and thanks. FWIW, you include "Windows (MS C++):" in the build targets. If you don't want to support it, that's understandable... maybe remove this? (I spent time on your project because I assumed you did support Windows/MSVCPP)

Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, didn't mean to.

This project should indeed support Windows/MSVC but it sounded like the issues you were facing were more related to building/linking with libraries on Windows in general.

I haven't looked at this project in ages but hopefully it should be possible to figure out how to make it work by looking at the build pipeline. If you feel like something is missing or should be updated, a pull request would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.
