Purpose

This set of scripts will build the requisites for KLayout builds with MSVC 2017, both for 32 and 64bit. These are:

• libexpat: XML parser for use with Python standalone modules
• libcurl: HTTP/HTTPS access for Python standalone tools
• zlib: Compression library
• python: A basic installation including a debug variant
• ruby: Basic Ruby required to support DRC and other DSL's

Requirements

• git installed in PATH
• MSVC 2017 installed (e.g. community edition)
• Helper tools: (1) cmake.exe in PATH (2) ruby.exe, bison.exe, flex.exe, sed.exe in PATH

For (1) use cmake for Windows: https://cmake.org/files/v3.12/cmake-3.12.1-win64-x64.msi

For (2) use MSYS2:

• install "pacman -S ruby bison flex sed"
• set PATH=c:\msys64\usr\bin;%PATH%

Note: cmake must be taken from the Windows installation!

Script Usage

To build all:

buildall.bat -t

To build 32 bit only:

buildall.bat -32 ...
