Build dependencies

  • A Windows machine with Visual Studio 2019 (Community Edition is fine too)
  • Clang-cl for windows (install it from your visual studio installer)
  • Qt >= 5.12 with msvc2017_64 (Ensure that the QTDIR or QT_DIR environment variable are set). It can be found here

Setup the project

git clone https://github.com/Force67/ps4delta.git
cd ps4delta
git submodule update --init

Building the project

Execute pmake.cmd in order to generate the project solution.

Afterwards you can open build/PS4Delta.sln. The recommended build configuration is Release for all purposes.

Don't forget to copy the QT runtime dlls in the output directory (can be found at %QT_DIR%/bin) You will need for release : Qt5core.dll Qt5gui.dll Qt5Qml.dll Qt5Widgets.dll Qt5WinExtras.dll Qt53DRender.dll And for debug : Qt5cored.dll Qt5guid.dll Qt5Qmld.dll Qt5Widgetsd.dll Qt5WinExtrasd.dll Qt53DRenderd.dll

Then you will need to do the actual installation of the project by following these instructions here

Troubleshooting

Q - I don't see any project solution in /build folder A - You might need to download the Qt offline installer as shown above if you haven't got it yet. Also make sure you QT_DIR are set to something like C:\Qt\Qt5.14.0\5.14.0\msvc2017_64

Q - I got the error MSB8020 when building the project with VS2019 A - It means that you haven't got any tools for building the solution, so you might need to the VS installer, modify VS2019 and add both C++ Clang and C++ Clang-cl.

Q - When I start the app it shows Unable to load core A - First check that you have built the entire solution and not just the host project. Then check if in the bin/Debug folder, there is a file named dcore.dll. Also, double check that you copied all the runtime dlls in the output folder.

Q - When I start the app in release it crashes and when I start the app in debug it shows This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. A - Copy the platforms folder from your %QT_DIR%/plugins/ to your target folder (Debug or Release)
