# Windows Scripts
This folder contains a series of scripts to build and deploy MeshLab under a Windows environment.
**Note**: scripts are written in bash, therefore they should be run in a linux subsystem environment.
* `1_build.sh`: this script builds MeshLab in a Windows environment:
* it requires a properly set Visual Studio (>=2015) and MSVC compiler;
* it requires a properly set Qt environment;
* `cmake` in the PATH env variable;
* takes as arguments:
* the build directory (default: `src/build`): `--build_path=path/to/build`
* the install directory (default: `src/install`): `--install_path=path/to/install`
* the number of cores used to build MeshLab (default: `-j4`)`
* the possibility to build MeshLab with double precision scalar: `--double_precision`
* `2_deploy.sh`: this script makes the given path a portable version of MeshLab. Takes as arguments:
* the path where the output install path of the `1_build.sh` script is placed (default: `src/install`): `--install_path=path/to/install`
* `3_installer.sh`: this script computes, starting from the portable folder of MeshLab, an NSIS installer. Takes as arguments:
* the path where the output install path of the `2_deploy.sh` script is placed (default: `src/install`): `--install_path=path/to/install`
* if MeshLab has been built with double precision scalar, add: `--double_precision`
* it requires `makensis.exe` in the PATH env variable.
## Examples
Building MeshLab on Windows, having VisualStudio, MSVC and Qt installed, cmake in the PATH (build placed in `meshlab/src/build`):
git clone --recursive https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/meshlab
sh meshlab/scripts/Windows/1_build.sh
