| <h2>Building a MS Visual Studio Project for 4diac FORTE with CMake</h2> |
| In the <a href="../../html/installation/install.html#ownFORTE">installation tutorial</a>, the steps on building a project with CMake are described in detail. |
| To use Visual Studio, you need to however select the tool MS Visual Studio. |
| The correct architecture is Win32. |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the CMake-GUI.</li> |
| <li>Choose the source folder FORTE_FOLDER_ROOT. |
| <li>Choose desired destination folder. |
| We recommend <span class="folder">FORTE_FOLDER_ROOT/bin/win32</span>. |
| <li>Press the <span class="button4diac">Configure</span> button and choose the version of Visual Studio that is used and native default compilers. |
| Press the <span class="button4diac">Finish</span> button afterwards.</li> |
| <li>For the option <span class="specificText">FORTE_ARCHITECTURE</span>, select Win32. |
| Other modules and configurations options can be set following the tutorial step <a href="../../html/installation/install.html#generateFilesForCompiling">Build a project with CMake</a>.</li> |
| <li>Press the <span class="button4diac">Configure</span> button, check red rows and repeat this until no row appears red. Afterwards, press the button <span class="button4diac">Generate</span>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h2>Compile 4diac FORTE with Visual Studio</h2> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the generated 4diac FORTE project (.sln file) with Visual Studio in <span class="folderLocation">FORTE_FOLDER_ROOT/bin/win32</span>. |
| You can change from Debug to Release mode if you don't want to debug. |
| <div><img src="../../html/installation/img/VSreleaseDebug.png" alt="Release Mode of Visual Studio "/></div></li> |
| |
| |
| |
| <li>Build 4diac FORTE afterwards by right-clicking on <span class="button4diac">forte</span> in the Solution Explorer window and then clicking <span class="button4diac">Build</span>. A file <span class="file">forte.exe</span> should be generated in <span class="folderLocation">FORTE_FOLDER_ROOT/bin/win32/src/Release</span>. |
| <div><img src="../../html/installation/img/VSCompile.png" alt="Compile by right-clicking on forte in the Solution Explorer window, and then click Build"/></div></li> |
| |
| |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h2>Debugging</h2> |
| <ol> |
| <li>If you want to Debug using Visual Studio, select the Debug mode and set 4diac FORTE as the main project. |
| <div><img src="../../html/installation/img/VSstartProject.png" alt="Set FORTE as main project in Visual Studio "/></div></li> |
| |
| |
| |
| <li>Finally, press <span class="button4diac">F5</span> or click <span class="button4diac">Debug → Start Debugging</span></li> |
