Building Horizon Launcher on Windows - HorizonLauncher/Client GitHub Wiki

Build Status

There are snapshot builds available for Windows- check out this page for more information.

Dependencies

  • CMake

    • Just download the installer and install it wherever you want, make sure one of the "Add to path" radio buttons is checked.

  • Boost

    You can either opt to build the libraries yourself, but you can just as easily download prebuilt binaries.

    • Copy the 2nd boost_1_58_0 folder to C:\Boost.

  • Qt >= 5.0 <= 5.5

    • Install the qt version from this list. (If installing the mingw version, make sure it's checked under Tools->mingw-(version))
    • Make SURE you install a version of Qt lower or equal to 5.5 otherwise Horizon won't build.

  • Horizon Launcher (duh)

    • You can clone the repository using Git for easy updates, or if you just want a simple zip you can download one..
