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)`
2_deploy.sh: this script makes the given path a portable version of MeshLab. Takes as argument the path where the output install path of the 1_build.sh script is placed (default: src/install);
3_installer.sh: this script computes, starting from the portable folder of MeshLab, an NSIS installer. Takes as argument the path where the output install path of the 2_deploy.sh script is placed (default: src/install);
- 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
