Nordic pc ble xxx install on windows - Stupid-Git/MyWiki GitHub Wiki

https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/blob/master/Installation.md

I downloaded the boost binary and installed it
https://www.boost.org/users/download/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.67.0/

Dowloaded boost_1_67_0-msvc-14.1-64.exe and installed it in c:\home\karel\boost_1_67_0:

setx BOOST_ROOT "c:\home\karel\boost_1_67_0"

The compile (below) FAILED due to deprecated symbols ('io_service': is not a member of 'boost::asio'), so changed to boost_1_59_0

Open a Microsoft Visual Studio vs2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt and issue the following commands:

> cd %BOOST_ROOT%
> bootstrap.bat
> b2 toolset=msvc-<VV.V> address-model=<32,64> link=static --with-thread --with-system --with-regex --with-date_time --with-chrono

I used the following to Build 64-bit Boost with Visual Studio 2015:

> b2 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64 link=static --with-thread --with-system --with-regex --with-date_time --with-chrono

From https://cmake.org/download/ I downloaded and installed cmake-3.11.2-win64-x64.msi

There was no build directory in pc-ble-driver, so I

mkdir build
cd build

C:\home\karel\tooling\github\NordicSemiconductor\pc-ble-driver-js\pc-ble-driver\build> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR="c:\home\karel\boost_1_59_0" ..

C:\home\karel\tooling\github\NordicSemiconductor\pc-ble-driver-js\pc-ble-driver\build> msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Debug
And the build seems to work

As per https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/tree/master/examples

> cd pc-ble-driver\examples\heart_rate_monitor\
> mkdir build
> cd build

I used the same build flags as I did to make the interface libraries above

For the Monitor (Peripheral)
> heart_rate_monitor\build> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR="c:\home\karel\boost_1_59_0" ..
> heart_rate_monitor\build> msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Debug`  
And the collector (Central)
> heart_rate_collector\build> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR="c:\home\karel\boost_1_59_0" ..
> heart_rate_collector\build> msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Debug`
