Prerequisites
- HoMM 3 (can be bought at gog.com)
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or 2017(download)
- Git or git GUI, for example, SourceTree download
Install dependencies
Create initial directory
Create a directory for vcpkg development, eg. C:\vcpkg We will call this directory as [VCPKG_DIR]
It is recommended to avoid non-ascii characters in the path to your vcpkg folder. The folder should not be write-protected by system. Good location:
- C:\vcpkg
Bad locations:
- C:\Users\Michał\vcpkg (non-ascii character)
- C:\Program Files (x86)\vcpkg (write protection)
Clone vcpkg
- open SourceTree
- File -> Clone
- select https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/ as source
- select [VCPKG_DIR] as destination
- click Clone
Build vcpkg
- Run [VCPKG_DIR]/bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
Build dependencies
- For 32-bit build run [VCPKG_DIR]/vcpkg.exe install minizip:x86-windows sdl2:x86-windows sdl2-image:x86-windows sdl2-ttf:x86-windows sdl2-mixer:x86-windows boost:x86-windows qt5:x86-windows ffmpeg:x86-windows
- For 64-bit build run [VCPKG_DIR]/vcpkg.exe install minizip:x64-windows sdl2:x64-windows sdl2-image:x64-windows sdl2-ttf:x64-windows sdl2-mixer:x64-windows boost:x64-windows qt5:x64-windows ffmpeg:x64-windows
Build VCMI
Create initial directory
Create a directory for VCMI development, eg. C:\VCMI We will call this directory as [VCMI_DIR]

- select [VCMI_DIR]/source as destination
- click Clone
Compile VCMI
- create [VCMI_DIR]/build
- open [VCMI_DIR]/build in terminal
- execute cmake ../source -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[VCPKG_DIR]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=[VCMI_DIR]/install
- open VCMI.sln in Visual Studio
