Compile Test with VS2019 community

Post by LamahHerder » Thu Aug 08, 2019 2:27 pm

Messed with this for a while before I got it working


  • 01 - Install vs2019 community (SS of minimum I needed to get it working)
    Image

    02 - https://www.macroquest2.com/main.php?p=download download zip, unzip

    03 - Run MQ2Auth.exe save

    04 - open SLN file in vs2019community

    05 - vs2019 First run Popup > Retarget Solution Projects (SS of options I used)
    Image

    06 - vs2019>build>configuration manager> Active Solution Configuration = Release (or set it via the bar at the top)

    07 - vs2019> Right click MQ2Main in "Solution Explorer" and select "Set as Startup Project" (already done in VV)

    08 - Edit MQ2Main.h change "#define LIVE" to "#define TEST"

    09 - vs2019>build>batch build> checkmark MQ2Main Release, click Build (this is a quick build test)

    10 - If all goes well then go back to batch build and checkmark the Release build for plugins you want to build.
