Update cmake files to support 64-bit compilation.
Add variables to easily switch between 32-bit and 64-bit compilation
Update msvc_build.bat to support both 32-bit and 64-bit compilation
Optimize msvc_build.bat to avoi excessive output
Update AppVeyor build scripts so that default compilation is 64-bit now
Make default configuration built from opening MuseScore directory 64-bit
RelWithDebInfo. All other configurations are up to msvc_build.bat
script.
Qt libs which are used for building are placed in msvc2017_64 folder.
These changes require new structure of the dependencies folder.
1) fix some bugs which appear in runtime: replace QString::tostdstring() to Foo.toUtf8().constData().
2) Enable start center online community. To use it you need download webengine in your QT lib. see instruction https://musescore.org/en/handbook/developers-handbook/compilation/compile-instructions-windows-visual-studio-2017-wip
3) update install steps. Add additional dlls for webEngine. Add copying dlls and musescore.exe to /msvc.install/bin folder. Run project will work with the "$(ProjectDir)\..\..\msvc.install\bin\MuseScore.exe" specified in Debugging field in mscore project
4) Moving AppVeyor from MinGW to MSVC. Exclude ALL MSVC project from INSTALL project. Exclude ALL from PACKAGE. Remove migw-cmake in script build, add .bat instead. Remove xcopy from 7z archive step
5) Fix warning : Warning C4703 potentially uninitialized local pointer variable '' used; Warning C4456 declaration of '' hides previous local declaration; Warning C4458 declaration of '' hides class member
6) Change path to 11 version wix toolset which created .msi installer package
In detail, changes are as follows:
- Changed .gitignore to ignore VS-specific files and directories.
- VS uses a global settings file for the CMake build process: CMakeSettings.json. This is a text file, which is conceptually equivalent to the Makefile used to invoke CMake through Make. This file might need to be changed on an individual user basis, if dependencies are not installed in default paths.
- New cmake macros to copy files in build\CopyFilesMacros.cmake. The code is from https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-March/027892.html
- Pre-compiled headers: Visual Studio requires to create pre-compiled headers per-project (a general per-solution PCH file, although possible, is extremely problematic and not recommended). Therefore, the new macro vstudio_pch in CreatePrecompiledHeader.cmake was created to add the pre-compiled header creation step to an existing target (similar to what is done for XCode). The existing macro precompiled_header was modified to set the values for a group of variables. As part of this, the empty file all.cpp was added to the root of the source tree, as VS requires a source file to create pre-compiled headers (the header file alone can not be compiled).
- all.h is not copied to binary dir for MSVC, as I could determine no need to do this. Because of this, and the differences in PCH handling, the pseudo-targets mops1 and mops2 are not created for MSVC.
- Revised all steps conditional on toolchain, and added MSVC paths as needed. In many instances, the MSVC path is the same as the MINGW path, but not always.
- The manual (genManual) target used the getopt() functionality defined in POSIX libraries, which is not available on Windows. An LGPL'd port of getopt() for Windows was added in manual\getopt. The original source is in GitHub: nanoporetech/getopt-win32, based on a CodeProject article: https://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/getopt4win.aspx?msg=3987371. The corresponding CMakeLists.txt file was modified to include this files when compiling with MSVC.
- Changes in CMakeLists.txt files to create valid MSVC targets. The changes, always conditional on the MSVC toolchain, consist of:
x Setting target properties for MSVC
x Using all.h in source dir
x Adding pre-compiled headers to target
x Removing dependency from mops1 and mops2
Notes:
- The INSTALL target has NOT BEEN UPDATED for MSVC.
