Downloading the libraries
- If you don’t have git installed on your computer, install it from here.
Git is a free and open-source software used to help organise the way that people create source code for programs and tool, and how they collaborate to do it.
Here, git will help you download the code used to make the vcpkg software function, which will download all of the librairies that FMT needs for us.
- Use
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.gitin the command prompt to download vcpkg.
If you have closed the command prompt, or if you don’t remember how to open it, see the previous page.
- Use
cd ./vcpkgin the command prompt to navigate into the vcpkg folder.
If you don’t remember how to use
cd, see the previous page.
- Copy/paste the following command in the command prompt to install the dependencies necessary to compile FMT :
vcpkg install boost:x64-windows boost-dll:x64-windows boost-icl:x64-windows boost-python:x64-windows gdal:x64-windows geos:x64-windows pthreads:x64-windows clp:x64-windows
This will take time, and will use some space on your computer (around 10Gb).
Just leave the command prompt open so that vcpkg does its work.
Once vcpkg is done, go to the next page.
