Note: change cmake -G parameter to whatever visual studio you need... just pass cmake -G "" to make it list all the options
git clone https://github.com/codilime/veles
cd veles
Open CMakeLists.txt add this at the top:
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "C:\\Path\\To\\Qt\\qt-5.6.0-x64-msvc2015\\5.6\\msvc2015_64")
set(OPENSSL_DLL_DIR "C:\\Path\\To\\veles\\openssl")
set(ZLIB_LIBRARY "C:\\Path\\To\\veles\\zlib\\lib\\zlib.lib")
set(ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR "C:\\Path\\To\\veles\\zlib\\include")Okay now:
mkdir zlib
mkdir zlib/lib
mkdir zlib/include
mkdir openssl
Copy ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll into openssl/ , you can find these in a prebuilt version of Veles
Dont worry if it says 32, these are actually 64-bit if you grab it from a prebuilt Veles
Now we need to build zlib Get zlib: https://zlib.net/ , get the source code in the zlib folder:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" ..
Then open zlib.sln in visual studio, change configuration from Debug to RelWithDebInfo
Copy zlib.lib into veles/zlib/lib
Copy zlib.h and zconf.h into veles/zlib/include
We will grab zlib.dll later
Make sure you have python3 installed, and that py is in your path and points to python3 (VERY IMPORTANT)
Now back in veles
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
It should whine about gmock and gtest, ignore it, as long as it finds everything else.
OK now open VELES.sln
Build it, this will take a while.
Results in Veles UI, but we need to add some support files or we cant run it yet.
Copy veles-server from your Veles installation to same folder as "Veles UI" output folder (build)
Now copy the zlib.dll we built earlier into Veles UI output folder
You can now run it!
