Requirements
This only describes the MSVC build.
-
install the free Visual Studio 2019 Community edition (in case of Qt5)
-
install the Windows SDK (for C header files etc.)
-
install either Qt5.15 (recommended) or Qt6 (will need some adaption of QML in the examples) from the online installer, see readme-qt
To be able to run everything from the command line, you need to set both the MSVC and the Qt environment variables like so:
In the Windows start menu, search for qt and launch the command prompt window. This will set the Qt environment variables. Additionally you need the MSVC environment variables. The manual steps for this are something like:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build
vcvars64.bat
Compile ECL
Extract the ECL sources in e.g. C:\ecl. Edit file C:\ecl\msvc\Makefile and
change # ECL_WIN64 = to ECL_WIN64 = 1.
Run nmake followed by nmake install.
Quicklisp/ASDF notes
To avoid confusion, please note:
-
don't install Quicklisp using
(require :ecl-quicklisp); just install it the usual way, see Quicklisp beta -
put this as first line in your
C:\Users\name\.eclrc:(require :cmp)in order to always use the C compiler (instead of the default bytecodes compiler)
Build LQML
If you installed ECL in a different place than above, you need to adapt the paths in src/windows.pri.
Make sure you have both ECL and (future) LQML in your path:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\ecl\msvc\package;C:\lqml\src\build\release
Switch to C:\lqml\src\build and run:
qmake ..\lqml.pro
nmake
qmake ..\lqml-lib.pro
nmake
Now you should be able to run the examples and build them as executables.
