Building for Windows

Note

These are the steps I used to build screenpipe for Windows. I already had the CUDA Toolkit installed and the CUDA_PATH set to my CUDA v12.6 folder. Replace V:\projects and V:\packages with your own folders.

• Install chocolatey
• Install git
• Install CUDA Toolkit (if using NVIDIA and building with cuda)
• Install MS Visual Studio Build Tools (below are the components I have installed)
  • Desktop development with C++
    • MSVC v143
    • Windows 11 SDK
    • C++ Cmake tools for Windows
    • Testing tools core features - Build tools
    • C++ AddressSanitizer
    • C++ ATL for latest v143
  • Individual components
    • C++ ATL for latest v143 build tools (x86 & x64)
    • MSBuild support for LLVM (clang-c) toolset
    • C++ Clang Compiler for Windows

SET LIBCLANG_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Tools\Llvm\x64\bin
cd V:\projects\screen-pipe

cargo build --release --features cuda

Did CUDA v12.6 work for you? I got some error about cudnn 11.8

It did, but I have both 12.6 and 11.8 installed. CUDA_PATH is pointed to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v12.6 but you could install 11.8 and change CUDA_PATH to that and see if it works.
