Requirements

swig >= 3.0

Steps to install SWIG:

  1. Download the latest SWIG binary from http://www.swig.org/download.html, if you need a specific version, windows binaries are located at https://sourceforge.net/projects/swig/files/swigwin/. Once downloaded, please unzip to a local folder (prefarably inside the SPTAG folder)
  2. Add the path where it was unzipped to the environment PATH example: C:\Sptag\swigwin-3.0.12\ in System properties

cmake >= 3.12.0

  1. If you have Visual Studio 2019 you already have the required tools to compile, please ensure you have the Desktop Development with C++ selected to get all the tools, just ensure this option is enabled in the installation workloads
  2. If not, please download cmake

Visual Studio

boost == 1.67.0

Boost's precompiled binaries are available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.67.0/ (to avoid compiling from scratch)

  1. Select the lastest version for 1.67.0 (boost_1_67_0-msvc-14.1-64.exe)
  2. Launch the installation
  3. Add the folder path to PATH environment variable, for instance C:\Sptag\boost_1_67_0\

On the off chance of needing to build boost, because you encountered this message during the Build step Could NOT find Boost (missing: system thread serialization wserialization regex filesystem), try the following

  1. Locate and run bootstrap.bat, this creates a file called b2.exe
  2. Run the generated exe (in this case b2.exe), be patient this may take +1 hr
  3. Once complete, the built libraries will be located in \stage\lib (or something along the lines)

Build

  1. git clone microsoft/SPTAG
  2. Go the folder location where you cloned the repo in the command prompt and execute the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -A x64 ..

  1. From the build folder, open SPTAGLib.sln solution in Visual Studio and compile all projects

  2. [..]/build/release contains now all components needed, add this path to PYTHONPATH environment variable to reference the required modules
