Compile Aseprite for Windows X86

compile-aseprite-for-win.txt

I had to compile Aseprite for my girlfriends Windows. This is how I did it.

(As I had installed VS 2017 in german language I have to guess the right translation of the menu lables)

1. Download and install Git for Windows: https://git-scm.com/download/win
2. Download VS 2017 Community: https://www.visualstudio.com
3. When installing VS 2017 select the install option 'Desktop development with C++'
4. Download and install cmake: https://cmake.org/download/
5. Download and install MozillaBuild: https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozillaBuild

6. Open git bash and type 

```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/aseprite/aseprite.git
```
7. Open the file ./aseprite/cmake/FindDXGuid.cmake with a texteditor and change the PATHS line to 

```
PATHS "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Lib/10.0.15063.0/um/x86/"
```

Maybe you have to adjust the build number to fit your installation.

8. Open Powershell and changedir into the aseprite directory
9. Create build directory. Chang dir into build directory.

```
mkdir build
cd build
```

10. Execute cmake 

```
 & 'C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe' ..\
```

11. Open the generated project file (aseprite.sln) with VisualStudio
12. Fix the libcurl.lib include
  * Right click on aseprite in the project explorer
  * Select Properties
  * Open the Linker section
  * Select input (DE: Eingabe)
  * Change the additional dependencies (DE: Zusätzliche Abhängigkeiten)
  * Find the ../lib/../libcurl.lib entry and change it to ../lib/libcurl.lib
  
13. Right click on ALL_BUILD entry in project explorer and select build
14. Find aseprite.exe in the ./build/bin/ directory
