	The newest release of CMake at time of writing, 2.8.12.1, introduces a regression that breaks Spring's use of some obscure CMake construct. It therefore can not be used to Configure Spring. (I've reported the issue to CMake bug tracker: http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14619 )

	~~The recommended CMake release is version 2.8.11.1. (Search for cmake-2.8.11.1-win32-x86.exe on the CMake download site: http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/ )~~

New page

vclibs11 repo URI: <code>git://github.com/nOOb3167/vclibs11.git</code><br/>

= Prerequisites =

- Visual Studio 2012 (v11)

- Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler Nov 2012 CTP

Download link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35515

How to tell if you have Nov 2012 CTP installed:
Start Visual Studio and open any Solution. Open the 'Property Pages' of any Project inside this solution, and check available values of 'Platform Toolset' under 'Configuration Properties -> General'. Nov 2012 CTP should be listed.

- GIT

If you can open command line and run git you should be fine.

[[image:Spring_build_cmake08.png|300px]]

- CMake

I (Andrej) use version 2.8.11.1. Search for cmake-2.8.11.1-win32-x86.exe on the CMake download site: http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/

The newest release, 2.8.12.1, fails - If you already have the newest version , and are getting errors during CMake configure step, try an older release.

[[image:Spring_build_cmake05.png|200px]]

= Building =

First clone the git repositories.

Second configure through CMake.

Third compile through Visual Studio.

== Cloning the git repositories ==
- Spring into any directory.
- vclibs11 into subdirectory of Spring, named 'vclibs'

<code><pre>
cd someEmptyDirectory
git clone git://github.com/nOOb3167/spring.git
cd spring
git clone git://github.com/nOOb3167/vclibs11.git vclibs
</pre></code>

- This is the only command line step.
The directory structure should end up looking like below.
A 'spring' directory with spring source, and a 'vclibs' subdirectory
inside.

[[image:Spring_build_cmake07.png|700px]]

== Configuring through CMake ==
Start CMake GUI.
- There should be a start menu shortcut if you used the CMake installer.

[[image:Spring_build_cmake10.png|150px]]

Set Source and Build paths.
- Source path should be where you cloned the Spring repository.
You should find a file CMakeLists.txt in that directory
- Build path can be whatever empty directory, or just same as Source path.
On the screenshot below, Build path is set to a subdirectory named 'Build'.

[[image:Spring_build_cmake00.png|700px]]

Set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to where you want Spring installed.
- This is necessary because the default, Program Files, requires
admin permissions to write.

[[image:Spring_build_cmake01.png|700px]]

Press Configure.
- The correct option to select for compiler is as shown below.
(Should be the default)

[[image:Spring_build_cmake02.png|200px]]

- For comparison, here is what is output for me after Configure.
The warnings shown here are normal / expected.

[[image:Spring_build_cmake03.png|700px]]

Press Generate.
- This should generate the Visual Studio solution and project files.
Those will be used to compile through Visual Studio next.

== Compiling Solution through Visual Studio ==

Open the solution file.
- There should be a Spring.sln file, in the location you set as the Build path CMake.

[[image:Spring_build_cmake04.png|300px]]

Select the INSTALL Project.
- Unfortunately I have not found a way to do this automatically.

[[image:Spring_build_cmake06.png|300px]]

Build Project
- There should be no compile / link errors (But many warnings).
If you forgot to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX from the default path
(In Program Files, requiring admin access), the installation step will complain.
