Build from source

Before building from source, please check out the DXGL source code from here.

Build Requirements

• Visual Studio 2013 (The free Community edition works for this)
• The following components are optional. The build process will ask for these if they do not exist:
  • TortoiseSVN (to fill in revision on SVN builds)
  • HTML Help Workshop (to build help)
  • NSIS (to build installer, requires TortoiseSVN and HTML Help Workshop to succeed, only 2.46 tested so far)

Build Instructions

These instructions assume that you do not have any of the required software installed. If you already have any or all of this software installed and set up, skip those steps.

• Install Visual Studio 2013 Community at https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2013-community-vs.aspx .
• Open the dxgl.sln file, select your build configuration (Release or Debug) in the toolbar, and press F7 to build.
