使用CMake构建后，如何在Visual Studio中创建项目以使用OpenMesh？

Question

I followed the directions for compiling OpenMesh on Compiling OpenMesh Using CMake for Windows. I've went so far as to Configure and Generate. So I now have the OpenMesh.sln file. However, I don't know what the directions mean by "build OpenMesh from within Visual Studio using the newly created project file."

If anyone could explain the rest of this process to me. I'm not terribly tech-savvy when it comes to this setup part of the process.

Answer 1

1. Open the file using visual studio (By double clicking on it.)

2. Once visual studio opens find the Build tab at the top of the window.

3. Hit the build solution button and wait for the compiler to finish.

To change the build configuration find the drop down menu beside the Local Windows Debugger button. It should say Debug , click on it and select the option that you wish to use. For a solution created using CMake the options will usually be Debug , MinSizeRel , Release or RelWithDebInfo . You probably want to compile for at least Debug and Release .
