|
Git for Windows: https://git-scm.com/download/win
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
download and run the .msi installer. GitExtensions has a GUI interface, includes Git for
|
|
|
|
|
Windows and has a Git bash command line in the bottom panel of the screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. wxWidgets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Clone wxWidgets and checkout 3.1.1 from the Audacity fork of the
|
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets project:
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for example, in the git-bash command line
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir ./wxWidgets
|
|
|
|
|
cd ./wxWidgets
|
|
|
|
|
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IF you forgot the --recurse-submodules, you can correct that later by:
|
|
|
|
|
git submodule update --init
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) Follow instructions for building at
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/blob/v3.1.1/README-GIT.md
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/audacity/wxWidgets/blob/v3.1.1/docs/msw/install.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DO set WXWIN to the appropriate directory where you installed wxWidgets.
|
|
|
|
|
To do that, open a cmd.exe window, and type:
|
|
|
|
|
set WXWIN=C:\wxWidgets-3.1.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will be building a dll version with MSVC2017 IDE, so...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In MSVC 2017 open wx_vc15.sln, and select dll, release.
|
|
|
|
|
Then build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) Having got this far, it is well worth trying out building some wxWidgets
|
|
|
|
|
examples to confirm that building has worked OK
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Audacity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Clone Audacity from the Audacity GitHub project.
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/audacity/audacity/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for example, in the git-bash command line
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir ./audacity
|
|
|
|
|
cd ./audacity
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/audacity/audacity/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Audacity itself does not use/need git submodules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) in MSVC 2017 open audacity.sln
|
|
|
|
|
Choose Release or Debug.
|
|
|
|
|
Click compile.
