Compiling On Windows

Looking to get setup on Windows? This guide should help you start with CLion! Windows is finicky and this guide should hopefully help you recreate whatever mess I ended up with that is fully functional.

Software

Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition
- Select "Desktop Development with C++" and then tick all boxes in the Installation Details section (Windows 10/11 SDKs optional)
Jetbrains CLion 2022.3 (or newer)
- This is free software, but you can do this completely in Visual Studio, if necessary
Python 3.11 (or newer)
- Download the installer
- Tick Add python.exe to PATH
- Custom Installation > Next
- Tick all boxes
- Install

Qt and CMake via Python

python3 -m pip install aqtinstall cmake
aqt install-qt windows desktop 6.6.3 msvc2019_64 -m all
aqt install-tool windows desktop tools_opensslv3_x64

Git Bash 2.39.0 (or newer)
- It's a good piece of software to have, regardless
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) 3.08 (or newer)
- This is how we can package our software for distribution, if necessary

Development Environment Configurations

Add Qt6 to your PATH Environment Variable
- Windows Start > Edit System Environment Variables > Environment variables... > PATH > Edit...
  - Add the absolute path of your Qt6 binary directory
    - Ex: C:\Users\Zach\Documents\Development\Qt\6.6.3\msvc2019_64\bin

Establish VCPKG repository

Windows Start > Git Bash

git clone https://github.com/Cockatrice/Cockatrice.git ~/Desktop/Cockatrice
cd ~/Desktop/Cockatrice
git submodule update --init

Setup CLion with the proper Toolchain and CMake profile
- Open Cockatrice project in CLion
- Set up the VS2022 Toolchain Configuration
  - File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Toolchains > +
  - Name: Visual Studio 17 2022
  - Toolset: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community
- Set up a CMake profile
  - File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > CMake > +
    - Build type: Release
    - Toolchain: Visual Studio 17 2022
    - Generator: Visual Studio 17 2022
    - CMake options: -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM="x64" -DWITH_SERVER=1
    - Build options: --parallel 8 -- -p:CL_MPcount=8 -p:UseMultiToolTask=true
- Modify CMake Application to build All Targets
  - Run > Edit Configurations... > CMake Application > cockatrice > Target > All targets

Building and Testing

Just run it in CLion now, it should (hopefully) work!
