Building the library

LibPeConv uses CMake, so you need to have it installed on your machine.

With the help of CMake you can generate a project appropriate for your build environment. The recommended one is Visual Studio.

1. Clone the repository

With the help of Git run:

git clone https://github.com/hasherezade/libpeconv.git

"Where the source is" : set path to the cloned repository
"Where to build the binaries" : set where to save the generated Visual Studio project

Press "Configure"
"Specify the generator for the project": choose the Visual Studio version that is installed on your machine.
At this point you must also decide if you want to build 32 or 64 bit version of the library, and choose the appropriate option.
Press "Finish"
If you want to change the selected options, you need to configure the project again. But, to be able to do so, you need to first delete cache: File-> Delete cache

Now you can select the options specific to the project, i.e.

The directory where the project will be installed after build [step 1]
Whether or not to build testcases [step 2]
The charset with which the library is built: Multibyte (ANSI) or Unicode [step 3]

Press "Generate"
Finally, you can open the generated project in Visual Studio - manually or by clicking the button "Open Project"

Now you can install the library, along with the headers, to into the directory you previously selected (2.3 , step 1)

libpeconv.lib into {INSTALL_DIR}\lib:

libpeconv headers into into {INSTALL_DIR}\includes:

Now you can use the generated lib, along with the headers, to add libPEconv into your own project. More details described here.
