How To Build Bread Player

Building Bread Player is as easy as making a cup of tea.

Requirements

  1. Visual Studio 2017
  2. Windows 10 SDK (14393 or later)
  3. An internet connection.

First you have to make sure you have Windows 10 SDK 14393.0 installed. If they are not get it from here. After you have successfully installed Windows 10 SDK, install Universal Windows App Development Tools which usually come with Visual Studio 2017. Check the whole UWP Tools List from here.

After Visual Studio 2017 and all the tools have been installed, clone the BreadPlayer repo:

git clone https://github.com/theweavrs/BreadPlayer/

OR

Download the source.

After this, you have two options for building Bread Player:

1. Using MSBUILD

  1. Open the directory where you cloned/download Bread Player and go into the scripts folder.
  2. Open msbuild.cmd and wait for it to complete. This will build and install BreadPlayer for you without you having to do anything. Of course, if you installed all the necessary tools.

2. Using Visual Studio

This is most easy, if a little slow, and it gets the job done. Use this if you are a new Dev or want to Debug.

  1. Open 'BreadPlayer.sln' file in the directory where you cloned/downloaded BreadPlayer source.
  2. Wait for the solution to load and then just press F5 or go into Debug in the menu and select Start Debugging. It will take a little time depending on your PC/Laptop Specs.

Enjoy your BreadPlayer and don't forget to report any bugs you encounter on the way!
