Build Vocaluxe - HowTo (Windows)

• Navigate to the right repository: usually Vocaluxe Main

• Navigate to the right branch: usually develop (The main branch of Vocaluxe)

  

• Copy the URL of the corresponding git file

  

• Make sure Visual Studio 2012/2013(?) is installed

• Clone the repository and open it

  Method A: Use Visual Studio (2013+)'s git client:

  • Start Visual Studio
  • VIEW->Team Explorer
  • Click on the Connect to a Team Project button inside the Team Explorer
  • Click on Clone under Local Git Repositories
  • Enter [theCopiedGitUrl] in the first field
  • Enter a target folder in the second field
  • Click clone

Method B: Use commandline git client: * Make sure git is installed git-scm * Open a git bash (there should be a link in the start menu) or a normal commandline if you have added git to the PATH variable * Navigate to the folder where git should create the Vocaluxe project folder

  ```
  cd [PathToYourFolder]
  ```
* Clone the repository (could take some time...) 
  ```
  git clone [theCopiedGitUrl]
  ```

* Now you should find a Folder `Vocaluxe` in the given directory -> navigate into it

* Open the file `Vocaluxe.sln` with Visual Studio

• Configure the build target to ReleaseWin and x86 or x64 (if unsure -> select x86)

• Build the projects by clicking "Build"->"Build solution" or just press Control+Shift+B

  

• Check if your build was successful

• YOUR build should have appeared here:

  [PathToYourFolder]\Vocaluxe\Output
  

• Run Vocaluxe.exe or copy the whole folder to a location of your choice

• Have fun!
