Compiling on Windows (Visual Studio 2010)

1. Setup CMake

1. Download and install CMake: http://www.cmake.org/

2. Configure CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to point at installed directories for libcurl and TinyXML-2.
   One way of doing this is to define this by configuring a environment variable.

   Example configuration:

   Variable name: CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
   Variable value: C:/Program Files (x86)/curl-7.21.6;C:/Program Files (x86)/tinyxml2

Another way of doing this is to supply the configuration when configuring CMake (see below), but how to achive that is not covered here.

2. Configure DVBLink Remote API Library with CMake

Open up a new Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)

# Navigate to DVBLink Remote API Library root folder:  
cd <DVBLink Remote API Library root>  

# Create a new folder, for example build, and navigate to it:  
mkdir build  
cd build  

# Create a new folder, for example vs2010:  
mkdir vs2010  
cd vs2010

# Configure CMake to include curl support and command line tool in build.  
# API documentation requires doxygen and is excluded here.  
cmake -DWITH_CURL:BOOL=TRUE -DWITH_COMMAND_LINE_TOOL:BOOL=TRUE -DWITH_APIDOC:BOOL=FALSE -G "Visual Studio 10" .  

# Tell CMake to execute a release build and install DVBLink Remote API Library.  
# Default install folder is C:\Program Files (x86)\dvblinkremote or similar.
cd ..  
cmake --build vs2010 --target "INSTALL" --config "Release" --clean-first

# Tell CMake to execute a release build and package the DVBLink Remote API Library in ZIP archive.  
# Default install folder is <build dir>.  
cmake --build vs2010 --target "PACKAGE" --config "Release" --clean-first

Compiling on non-Windows environments

This has not been tested by me! If you would like to try you're more than welcome, but chances are that you need to tweak the CMake files a bit. Please fork this repo and make neccessary CMake changes (if needed) and hand me a pull request. Thanks in advance.
