Windows Scripts

WORK IN PROGRESS

This folder contains a series of scripts to build and deploy MeshLab under a Windows environment.

The following scripts are provided:

• windows_build.ps1: this script compiles MeshLab in a Windows environment:
  • it requires a properly set Visual Studio (>=2015) and MSVC compiler;
  • it requires a properly set Qt (>= 5.9) environment;
  • without given arguments, all the binaries will be placed in the meshlab/distrib folder. You can give as argument the BUILD_PATH, and meshlab binaries will be then placed inside BUILD_PATH/distrib;
• windows_build_meshlab_mini.ps1: this script compiles MeshLab mini in a Windows environment. Works in the same way as the windows_build.ps1 script;
• windows_deploy.ps1: makes the distrib folder a portable version of MeshLab (no Qt and other libraries dependencies):
  • it requires a properly built meshlab distrib directory (see windows_build.ps1);
  • windeployqt.exe directly accessible by powershell and VCINSTALLDIR set to the VC Visual Studio;
  • without given arguments, the folder that will be deployed is meshlab/distrib. You can give as argument the DISTRIB_PATH;
• windows_nsis_installer.ps1: this script generates an installer for MeshLab:
  • it requires a properly built and deployed meshlab distrib directory (see windows_deploy.ps1);
  • makensis.exe directly accessible by powershell;
  • without given arguments, the folder used for creating the installer is meshlab/distrib. You can give as argument the DISTRIB_PATH;
