Windows build of source - pro file missing

[ergodaveh]

The documentation mentioned the likelihood of modifying the paths in the OpenKJ.pro file. Unfortunately, the github source does not have a the OpenKJ.pro file.

Ahh, yeah, I've migrated to using a cmake based build system instead of qmake. More standardized and compatible with most IDEs. I need to update the build instructions, but it slipped my mind.

Noticed the CMake pattern earlier. Had tried that build first, it wasn't successful for Windows. Then, started back with the documentation which mentioned the likelihood of pro file mods.

As such, the Cmake does build the code using build-OpenKJ-Desktop_Qt_5_12_11_MSVC2017_32bit-Debug. However, the run executable fails/crashes while launching with error "application was unable to start correctly 0xc000007b" and the start debugging exits with a warning "Debugger encountered an exception: Exception at 0x771e63b1, code: 0xc0000139: DLL entry point not found, flags=0x1 (execution cannot be continued) (first chance)"

Probably missing the required dll files in the build directory. Try passing -DDEPLOY_DEPS=true to cmake, that should copy all the required dll files into the build directory. You can see what it does if you take a look in CmakeLists.txt down toward the bottom in the Windows specific section.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've added set(DEPLOY_DEPS TRUE) to the CmakeList >line 25
Using VS2019 the code builds and All the dlls are copied over. So that worked.

However, running debug still didn't succeed, even after selecting the Safe Setting option from Openkj

What I found was an exception in the stack with mainwindow.h > line 150.

Changed QShortcut m_scutDeleteSinger{nullptr}; to QShortcut m_scutDeleteSinger{this}; and QShortcut m_scutDeleteSong{nullptr}; to QShortcut m_scutDeleteSong{this}; and QShortcut m_scutDeletePlSong{nullptr}; to QShortcut m_scutDeletePlSong{this};

Don't know All the implications of the change on the features, but the application launches..
Cheers
