I spent the last two days finding out how to compile Slic3r from source. The wiki seams to be outdated, for example my last tries failed due to missing curl, once it's now installed it just fails at the next point. It's quite anouing as I was used to play aroung with the source code and PRs in the time back when Slic3r PE was started, now I'm not longer able to do that.

I tried the strawberry perl way first, but I have the feeling the Visual Studio 2013 way is closer to a point which could be called working so I would be happy if someone could do a writeup for this way, please also point out differences (if any) between building for 32 or 64bit.

I found some scattered informations in various issue threads, but nothing realy helpful for getting the full thing working.

Any volunteer?

Hello Sebastian!
I also had a hard time trying to get this thing compile a couple of weeks ago.
While I finally succeeded (Visual Studio 2013, 64bit), today I noticed that it is broken again, so I'm at the same boat.

So, I had to download CURL too, that seems to be missing. In addition to the TTB-Path I also needed to add the CURL-Path to CMakeLists.txt like this:

set(TBB_INCLUDE_DIR "C:/local/tbb/include")
set(TBB_LIBRARY "C:/local/tbb/lib/intel64/vc12")
set(CURL_INCLUDE_DIR "C:/local/curl-7.58.0/include")
set(CURL_LIBRARY "C:/local/curl-7.58.0/AMD64/LIBCURL.LIB")

(assuming you extracted curl into C:\local\curl-7.58.0)

Where exactly are you hanging right now?

While I finally succeeded (Visual Studio 2013, 64bit)

Maybe that's the problem, I only got a 32bit download link but I try to compile using 64bit perl etc. But according to Google this version is only available in 32bit?

I running the cmd line from wperl64d, executing
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DTBB_LIBRARIES=C:\local\tbb\lib\intel64\vc12\tbb_static.lib -DTBB_LIBRARIES_RELEASE=C:\local\tbb\lib\intel64\vc12\tbb_static.lib -DBoost_LIBRARY_DIRS=C:\local\boost_1_63_0\lib64-msvc-12.0 -DTBB_INCLUDE_DIRS=C:\local\tbb\include -DCURL_LIBRARY=C:\local\curl-7.58.0\lib -DCURL_INCLUDE_DIR=C:\local\curl-7.58.0\include

I added your set() commands, changing C:/local/curl-7.58.0/IA64 to C:/local/curl-7.58.0/lib as I don't have a IA64 folder? The result is:
Deleted

I started over with a fresh version of Slic3r directory including your set(). cmake is done, running nmake now..

By Visual Studio 2013, 64bit I meant, that I use VS 2013 on a 64bit machine ;-) Sorry for not being clear.

As for CURL, I downloaded the compiled version from Stefan Kanthak. For my architecture, I needed to set CURL_LIBRARY to "C:/local/curl-7.58.0/AMD64/LIBCURL.LIB", which is included in this download (IA64 did not work, I corrected that above). I also needed the include/curl-directory, to get that I downloaded the Source Archives of libcurl and added that directory to C:/local/curl.../ folder.

The problem you seem to have right now is with the TBB dependency. Do you have a "tbb"-folder at C:\local\tbb ?

I compiled successfully right now, but I'm afraid I real live is calling and I may get back to you in the evening.

Yes, tbb is in place. After starting with a new copy of Slic3r sources and with your sets, I was able to continue until 98% of nmake command. Curl again, I will test your curl version.

I also only tried the test because it didn't start. the error during perl Slic3r.pl doens't make much sense to me, as the XS.dll is inside this path.

Just to let you know, I get the same error when try to start slicer.

@Sebastianv650 @dartrax With the integration of libcurl I added a bunch of improvements to the build system that should make things easier, especially on Windows. There is a new how-to written that should replace the outdated wiki, located in the doc subdir. Right now I am waiting for the merge of #771 which should conclude the effort. (It's merged now.)

If you want to compile Slic3r PE with the latest build fixes, please update your master and have a look at the how-to to see if it helps you. Hopefully it should be quite a bit simpler, at least that was my intention. If not, I'd be happy to receive feedback on it. Thanks!

Once the last fix is merged I should probably llink the how-to from the wiki. (Done.)

Thank you very much @vojtechkral, worked like a charm! Only one note for the how-to page: It's not mentioned that your will also need to download & install cmake. I think this should be added to the list of needed software.

Where exactly do I have to unzip the slic3r-destdir-64.7z to?
I now have:

C:\local\slic3r-destdir-64\usr\local\lib
C:\local\slic3r-destdir-64\usr\include\boost-1_63\boost
C:\local\slic3r-destdir-64\usr\include\curl
C:\local\slic3r-destdir-64\usr\include\tbb

Is that correct? It looks like it can't find anything of that.
I'm getting:

I already did that. I looked into cmdline_init.bat and noticed the Path C:\local\slic3r-destdir-64\usr\local. Therefore, I concluded that I have to unzip slic3r-destdir-64.7z in such a way that this path exists.
Still the same, something is missing...

It‘s working now, I can start it in VS2013 and it even stops at breakpoints and I can view variable values. That will help debugging and polishing my preferred-seam-location feature :)

Should the doc - How to build be still up to date? I'm asking because I run into errors even if I start with completely fresh folders. Last lines, not shure if it's due to wxwidgets or the compiler "Compiler/MSVC-ASM" thing:

Thanks for the information, but I guess I have to wait until the build instructions are updated. Maybe you could add a "not working at the moment" note until then to prevent others from confusion?

I was able to run the deps cmake thing without errors (I guess), but I have no idea where or if the libraries are installed after 30min of searching. This is a little bit over my head without the howto ;)

@Sebastianv650 I have added a note to both documents that they are out of date. The Windows build still has some issues that are on my todo list.
