Windows Build Procedure

  1. From the Windows Control Panel, set an environment variable called LOCAL_THIRD_PARTY pointing to the third party libraries.

    Windows 7 Procedure

    This procedure is correct for Windows 7. Other versions of Windows may use slightly different methods to define environment variables.

    a. Open System in Control Panel.

    b. Click on Advanced system settings.

    c. On the Advanced ta, click Environment Variables.

    d. In the lower box labeled System Variables, click New.

    e. In the Variable Name field, type LOCAL_THIRD_PARTY.

    f. In the Variable Value field, enter the full path to root of the third-party libraries.

    g. Click OK on each of the three open dialogs.

  2. Open a Windows cmd.exe shell and change directory to the root of the unpacked pcoip_client_sdk_windows*.<rev_info> source directory.

  3. Run python gencmake.py. This will invoke CMake and generate the required Visual Studio 2013 solution and project files.
  4. Open the .\build\client.sln solution file in Visual Studio 2015.
  5. Build the solution.

Packaging

All files needed to run the client, except the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 redistributable, are contained in the product\WINDOWS\x86\[Debug|Release] directory.
