Hi,
How would I set up the environment variables for MSVC 2019? The craft
notes only mention 2015 and 2017
Note: For Microsoft Visual Studio compiler, it's necessary to have
VCTOOLSREDISTDIR environment variable pointing to: "C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Professional\VC\Redist\MSVC\xx.xx.xxxxx" for MSVS 2017 and
VCINSTALLDIR environment pointing to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio\2015\Community\VC\" for MSVS 2015.
I have checked my environment variables and VCTOOLSREDISTDIR and
VCINSTALLDIR does not exist in a permanent way (maybe these are set up
somehow at run time). Would I just create these variable and point them
to the relevant directories for MSVC 2019. What variables do you have
set up? Any help welcome. Thanks.
David.
PS Maybe this will help?

MSVC / Visual Studio is just one of the required software components
needed for compiling KTechLab on Windows.
Some others are:
- Qt libraries
- dependencies of Qt libraries

- dependencies of KDE runtime components
Theoretically you can set up all those manually, but probably it would
take quite some time and effort.
Installing all this software can be automated, essentially this is the
basic idea of Craft, as far as I know.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I will read the information in the links you provided and give
craft a try.
Are there any other ways of compiling Ktechlab for Windows 10? I
saw MSVC 2019 mentioned somewhere (I have VS 2019 and 2022
community editions installed).
David.

If you want to build KTechLab on windows, I highly recommend
reading the documentation about Craft...

Hi,
Ive managed to install KTECHLAB on linux Mint using the
APT-GET command so I didn't have to build anything. Where is
the craft recipe located? Is it in the source code
repository? I'd like to give it a try. Thanks.
David.

Hi David,
building KTechLab on Windows requires KDE Craft, please see
instructions here:

https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows
There exists a Craft recipe for KTechLab, so in case Craft
is set up, one can build KTechLab with one command.
On Linux systems building is much simpler, you just need to
install KTechLab's build dependencies, typically from
package manager, then get the source code and building and
running should work. Please see instructions here:
https://invent.kde.org/sdk/ktechlab#building-and-running
Depending on how much experience you have with software
development or software development on Windows, building on
Linux might be simpler to start overall, while building on
Windows might require to fix / work-around some things as
you go.
Hope this helps,
Zoltan

Hi,
I would like to build Ktechlab on Windows 10. I have QT
Creator 8.01 installed but Ive never used it. Maybe this
would be an opportunity to use QT. Do you have any build
instructions I can follow?
I also have Linux Mint 21 "Vanessa" installed and could
build it on there as well. Which would be the most
straightforward one to build on? Thanks.
Regards,
David, UK
PS I also have visual studio 2019 and 2022 Community
editions installed on Windows 10. How would I use these?
Thanks.
