I’m using VSCode and CMake for a wxwidgets app that can be compiled to run on macOS and windows. I got Aravis running natively on macOS and it works great. Previously I was using Spinnaker for windows, but I would love to switch over to Aravis for both platforms.
Without dropping MSVC, could someone help me understand how I install Aravis on windows? I noticed the docs mentioned the github workflow aravis-msvc.yml but I’m not sure how to proceed. Is there a way to run that workflow locally on my windows machine?
For this particular project, I’d like to use MSVC and not MSYS2 and MinGW.
I did not try by myself, but a github workflow is basically a list of shell commands to run in an operating system container. The MSVC workflow install aravis dependencies using conan, which is itself installed using pip. It should work locally on your machine.
Aravis is compiled using meson, which has a MSVC backend.
Seems to have worked, although the viewer was not enabled so that didn’t get built. I tried everything from scratch again with it enabled and it still failed. It needs
pango/1.50.7
gtk/4.4.0
zlib/1.2.12
