Hi,
Could you please clarify for me what steps I should now take to compile
Ktechlab using craft. I'm assuming that I need to copy this file to my
computer
https://invent.kde.org/packaging/craft-blueprints-kde/-/blob/master/extragear/ktechlab/ktechlab.py
If so where do I save the file?
I'm guessing that I should then open a powershell window. Which commands
do I enter at the powershell command line? Thanks.
David.

Hi,
I have managed to get craft setup from a powershell window. At one
stage it asked me if I wanted to use a MINGW or a MSVC2019 compiler. I
chose the latter. Everything seemed to install OK after a load of
scary text scrolling by on the powershell screen. I will try compiling
ktechlab using craft next weekend. I hope it all works out. I'll
report back later. Thanks.
David.

How would I set up the environment variables for MSVC 2019? The
craft notes only mention 2015 and 2017
As far as I know the installation script for Craft detects compilers
and allows selecting the one to use.
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.
Where have you found this text? I do not remember manually setting up
environment...
When starting Craft, it loads some configuration files and sets up
the environment by itself, so I'm not sure if manual setup is needed.
At least when I have installed Craft last time, things mostly worked
automatically.
Hope this is useful,
Zoltan
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/Craft
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.
