Building NSClient++ on Windows

This is the embryo of instruction for building NSClient++ on Windows. I always recommend to use the Pipelines in GitHub Actions to build the project.

But if you want to build it locally, here is how you can do it.

Prerequisites

You need the following tools installed on your machine and likely in your path:

  • Visual Studio (Community Edition is fine)
  • CMake
  • 7zip
  • Perl (I use strawberry perl)

Libraries

Open SSL

Run the following commands in a Visual Studio Command Prompt (2015 x64 Native):

SET OPENSSL_VERSION=1.1.1w
curl -L https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-%OPENSSL_VERSION%.tar.gz --output openssl.tar.gz
7z x openssl.tar.gz
7z x openssl.tar

cd openssl-%OPENSSL_VERSION%
perl Configure VC-WIN64A no-asm no-shared
nmake
cd ..

Boost

Run the following commands in a Visual Studio Command Prompt (2015 x64 Native):

SET BOOST_VERSION=1.82.0
SET BOOST_VERSION_=%BOOST_VERSION:.=_%
curl -L https://archives.boost.io/release/%BOOST_VERSION%/source/boost_%BOOST_VERSION_%.tar.gz --output boost.tar.gz
7z x -y boost.tar.gz
7z x -y boost.tar
xcopy boost_%BOOST_VERSION_% boost_%BOOST_VERSION_%_static /E /I

cd boost_%BOOST_VERSION_%
call bootstrap.bat
b2.exe --layout=system address-model=64 toolset=msvc-14.16 variant=release link=shared runtime-link=shared warnings=off -d0 --with-system --with-filesystem --with-thread --with-regex --with-date_time --with-program_options --with-python --with-chrono
cd ..

cd boost_%BOOST_VERSION_%_static
call bootstrap.bat
b2.exe --layout=system address-model=64 toolset=msvc-14.16 variant=release link=static runtime-link=shared warnings=off -d0 --with-system --with-filesystem
cd ..
