============================================================================
== BUILDING QUARTER ON WINDOWS ==
============================================================================
Building Quarter on Windows is done by using the CMake build configuration.
Check out the detailed build instructions in the INSTALL file of the Coin
installation directory.
The Autotools build system is still maintained but at a significantly lower
priority.
============================================================================
== OLD INFORMATION ON BUILDING QUARTER ON WINDOWS ==
============================================================================
Microsoft Visual Studio
=======================
The source code archive for Quarter comes with Microsoft Visual Studio
files for building and installing the Quarter library and the Qt
Designer Plugin. Visual Studio 6, Visual Studio 7/7.1, Visual Studio
8, and Visual Studio 9 are supported. For later versions in the
future, you can probably just "upgrade" one of these to get a working
set for that version as well. Visual Studio 6 will not be supported
(at the C++ language level) for very much longer.
A separate target "quarter1_install" is provided for copying the built
Quarter library and the Qt Designer Plugin into the directory provided
in the COINDIR environment variable. Set it to e.g. "C:\Coin3D" or
wherever you want the Quarter SDK to reside by using
Control Panel => System => Advanced => Environment Variables
and make sure you create that directory before starting the build of
that target - if the variable isn't set or the directory doesn't
exist, the installation will break and you won't get a functional SDK.
Using the source hierarchy as the SDK is not recommended - let Quarter
be installed, and use COINDIR from your other projects that use Coin
and Quarter.
A target is also provided for installing the Qt Designer Plugin,
"quarterwidgetplugin1_install". The plugin is copied into the
$QTDIR/plugins/designer directory.
For Microsoft Visual Studio 6, you will find the complete build file setup
in the directory "build/msvc6/". Select the dsw file.
For Microsoft Visual Studio 7/7.1, you will find the complete build file setup
in the directory build/msvc7/. Select the sln file.
For Microsoft Visual Studio 8, you will find the complete build file setup
in the directory build/msvc8/. Select the sln file.
For Microsoft Visual Studio 9, you will find the complete build file setup
in the directory build/msvc9/. Select the sln file.
============================================================================
== OLD INFORMATION ON CYGWIN-BASED BUILDS BELOW ==
============================================================================
Quarter can also be compiled on Windows with the use of Cygwin. See
Coin's README.WIN32 for detailed information on building Coin with
cygwin, that information goes for Quarter as well as Coin.
There are a couple of things you need to be aware of. The binary
distributions of Qt is usually built with the multithread-dynamic C
library. In order for Coin, Qt and Quarter to work together, Coin and
Quarter should be built with the same C-runtime as Qt.
To specify which C library Coin should be linked against, you should
use the --with-msvcrt=<crt> option. To specify multithread-dynamic,
use --with-msvcrt=md.
If you want to build Quarter in release mode on windows, specify
--disable-symbols and --disable-debug when running configure.
If you want to link against Qt debug DLLs, specify --with-qt-debug.
The Qt Designer Plugin is placed in $QTDIR/plugins/designer by default
when using cygwin.
