@ -152,18 +152,56 @@ To build with autotools:
### Windows
First, [Python][] 2.6 or 2.7 must be installed as it is required by [GYP][].
If python is not in your path, set the environment variable `PYTHON` to its
location. For example: `set PYTHON=C:\Python27\python.exe`
Prerequisites:
To build with Visual Studio, launch a git shell (e.g. Cmd or PowerShell)
and run vcbuild.bat which will checkout the GYP code into build/gyp and
generate uv.sln as well as related project files.
* [Python 2.6 or 2.7][] as it is required
by [GYP][].
If python is not in your path, set the environment variable `PYTHON` to its
location. For example: `set PYTHON=C:\Python27\python.exe`
* One of:
* [Visual C++ Build Tools][]
* [Visual Studio 2015 Update 3][], all editions
including the Community edition (remember to select
"Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" feature during installation).
* [Visual Studio 2017][], any edition (including the Build Tools SKU).
**Required Components:** "MSbuild", "VC++ 2017 v141 toolset" and one of the
Windows SDKs (10 or 8.1).
* Basic Unix tools required for some tests,
[Git for Windows][] includes Git Bash
and tools which can be included in the global `PATH`.
To have GYP generate build script for another system, checkout GYP into the
project tree manually:
To build, launch a git shell (e.g. Cmd or PowerShell), run `vcbuild.bat`
(to build with VS2017 you need to explicitly add a `vs2017` argument),
which will checkout the GYP code into `build/gyp`, generate `uv.sln`
as well as the necesery related project files, and start building.
```console
> vcbuild
```
Or:
```console
> vcbuild vs2017
```
To run the tests:
```console
> vcbuild test
```
To see all the options that could passed to `vcbuild`:
```console
> vcbuild help
vcbuild.bat [debug/release] [test/bench] [clean] [noprojgen] [nobuild] [vs2017] [x86/x64] [static/shared]
Examples:
vcbuild.bat : builds debug build
vcbuild.bat test : builds debug build and runs tests
vcbuild.bat release bench: builds release build and runs benchmarks
```
$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp.git build/gyp
