Getting the code

git clone https://github.com/AlexAlbala/Alter-Native.git

On Windows

• Install Cmake from http://www.cmake.org/

  • Be sure to add cmake to the PATH

• Install Boost libraries from http://www.boost.org

  • Unzip to C:\Boost_x_y_z

  • Compile it (NOTE: The current version is working with compiler msvc-11.0 included in Visual Studio 2012)

      cd C:\Boost_x_y_z
      bootstrap.bat
      b2.exe --prefix=<INSTALLATION_DIR> --toolset=msvc-11.0
    

  • Have a coffee or two :)

  • Probably you shohuld set the environment variable BOOST_INCLUDEDIR pointing to the installation directory in order to enable cmake to find the libraries. Check this variable if cmake is not working

• For use the c++11 features you will need the compiler v120 CTP of November 2012

  • http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35515
  • The new released v120 CTP November 2013 for visual Studio 2013 does not work properly

• Execute the provided .bat file

    	install.bat
  

• Or use command line:

  • Initialize environment variables

      alternative-init.bat
    

  • Compile the AlterNative library

      cd Lib/
      alternative-lib-compile.bat
    

  • Compile AlterNative.sln solution (Debug or Release)

      msbuild AlterNative.sln /p:Configuration=net_4_0_Debug
      msbuild AlterNative.sln /p:Configuration=net_4_0_Release
    

  • You also can use the supplied solution on Visual Studio 2012 or higher

    • Be sure to select one of these solution configurations Otherwise it won't compile:

        net_4_0_Debug
        net_4_0_Release
