Currently, Project64 builds and runs only under Windows platforms.

Requirements

• Operating System
  • Microsoft Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP (and server equivalents).
• Compiler collection
  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 (recommended), 2013, 2012, 2010, 2008.

Command line

In a command prompt enter:

MSBuild.exe Project64.sln

This will build the Debug|Win32 variant, using the Visual Studio 2015 (MSVC 14) compiler tool set.

Specific builds

Use the following MSBuild properties to set the platform, configuration, and tool set for the build:

• Platform
  Can be either Win32 or x64
• Configuration
  Either Debug or Release. It will determine either to use code optimizations or produce debugging information.
• PlatformToolset
  Compiler collection to use. Accepted values are: v140_xp, v140, v120, v120_xp, v110, v110_xp, v100, v90 (Note: You need to have the corresponding Visual Studio version installed).

Sample command to build Project64, Release|x64 variant for MSVC 14 without XP support:

MSBuild.exe Project64.sln /p:Platform=x64 /p:Configuration=Release /p:PlatformToolset=v140

Visual Studio IDE (2010 and later)

1. Open the solution in Visual Studio (Project64.sln)
2. Right-click the solution in the Project panel, and choose Build.
   Alternatively, press SHIFT+CTRL+B

Notes:

• In the Build toolbar, you can select the Platform and Configuration needed.
• To change the platform tool set, edit the file PropertySheets\Platform.props, and set the property.
