Building dll for Win32

[Bjørn Ruff <br...@forstware.de>]

Hello,

can someone tell me how?

I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 2022.

I tried in build directory

cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019 Win32" 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\externLibs\xerces \externLibs\xerces-c-3.2.3\src

and

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022 Win32" 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\externLibs\xerces \externLibs\xerces-c-3.2.3\src

and

cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/externLibs/xerces 
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -Dnetwork-accessor=curl 
\externLibs\xerces-c-3.2.3\src

All without success.

Best regards,

Hi Bjørn,

There are several ways of doing this. Here's an example from within CLion:

C:\Users\rleigh\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Toolbox\apps\CLion\ch-1\221.5921.27\bin\cmake\win\bin\cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -S C:\Users\rleigh\code\xerces-c -B C:\Users\rleigh\code\xerces-c\cmake-build-debug-basic

You can do it directly from a shell or script like this as well:

rleigh@sorilea MINGW64 ~/code/xerces-c/testbuild (XERCESC-2205_std_thread)
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -B . -S ..

--   Message Loader:            inmemory

-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: C:/Users/rleigh/code/xerces-c/testbuild

Hope that helps.  I configured with no additional options here, it's just using all of the defaults.


Kind regards,
Roger
