# Windows Build Scripts
* A convenience script for building is provided in `.ci/windows/build.sh`.
* You must run this with Bash, e.g. Git Bash or the MinGW TTY.
* To use this script, you must have `windeployqt` installed (usually bundled with Qt) and set the `WINDEPLOYQT` environment variable to its canonical Bash location:
* `WINDEPLOYQT="/c/Qt/6.9.1/msvc2022_64/bin/windeployqt6.exe" .ci/windows/build.sh`.
* You can use `aqtinstall`, more info on <https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall> and <https://ddalcino.github.io/aqt-list-server/>
* Extra CMake flags should be placed in the arguments of the script.
#### Additional environment variables can be used to control building:
* `BUILD_TYPE` (default `Release`): Sets the build type to use.
* The following environment variables are boolean flags. Set to `true` to enable or `false` to disable:
* `DEVEL` (default FALSE): Disable Qt update checker
* `USE_WEBENGINE` (default FALSE): Enable Qt WebEngine
* `USE_MULTIMEDIA` (default FALSE): Enable Qt Multimedia
* `BUNDLE_QT` (default FALSE): Use bundled Qt
* Note that using **system Qt** requires you to include the Qt CMake directory in `CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH`
* `.ci/windows/build.sh -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/Qt/6.9.0/msvc2022_64/lib/cmake/Qt6`
* After building, a zip can be packaged via `.ci/windows/package.sh`. You must have 7-zip installed and in your PATH.
* The resulting zip will be placed into `artifacts` in the source directory.
