OpenMW Windows Dev-Env

What you need?

  • Visual Studio 2013 or 2015 (Community edition is enough)
  • MSYSGit or Git for Windows as it's also called (cinst git.install if you have Chocolatey)
  • Note that WSL does not work for this, as it needs to execute windows executables.
  • 7-zip in your path (cinst 7zip.install works, if you have Chocolatey)
  • CMake in your path (cinst cmake.install for Chocolatey)
  • ~10GB of free space per build platform (32/64-bit), for all the build artefacts.
  • Time. An hour or two most likely for full release and debug builds.

What you do?

  • Clone the OpenMW repo. git://github.com/OpenMW/openmw.git
  • Open a Git Bash shell in the repo.
  • Run the following command: CI/before_script.msvc.sh -k -p Win64 -v 2015. (Substitute Win64 with Win32 if doing a 32-bit build, 2015 can also be substituted with 2013 for VS2013)
  • Wait for the build environment to be set up.
  • ???
  • Develop.

Among other things:

  • It tells you not to do some things that break the script that these instructions don't mention.
  • It explains some things that were vague or absent in this guide, such as how to get configurations other than Debug working.
