Ī few “fun” stuff I encountered while writing the XML:

EntryPoint='Windows.FullTrustApplication' in.

The important steps for Win32 app validation to pass are: Important Package.appxmanifest details for Win32 apps Which are to be copied in Package.appxmanifest’s and, as well as a few other places mentioned later in this post. Package/Properties/PublisherDisplayName # e.g. Home > Apps and games > MyApp > Product management: Product Identity You must in particular fill in the various identity-related variables that are available on the Microsoft Partner account: in file to indicate that we are generating it from CMake (to set the version number from the git tag, mainly). The one we made can likely be used as a source. This is the manifest that describes the package for your software.

Of course, one could also generate them from a well-thought-out imagemagick script, if anyone has one please share it! Package manifest setup The Assets folder in the source directory should now contain all the generated PNGs at the right scales you can move them back to your repo and close VS.

Set the source logo on the first field as explained here.

Set up the properties in the first tab, then switch to the second tab.

This will open an UI editor for the manifest.

Click on the “Package.appxmanifest” on the file list on the left.

Create a new Windows UWP project, name it for instance MyAppAssets or something like this.

Fortunately, it turns out that Visual Studio can generate them in the required format from a single base logo.

Create a new app, and set up the submission, description texts, etc etc.Ī ton of different assets are required.

Fill in your banking details, tax forms, etc etc.

Hopefully a bit less if you follow the steps below!įirst you need to register as a Microsoft Partner.

A good few hours and roughly 3.5 liters of coffee and a couple liters of tea.

#Cmake copy file install#

target install should yield a clean installation folder with your app’s files. An application that builds cleanly on Windows: running cmake -build.Visual Studio installed with the Windows SDK of your choice.In particular, it can likely be useful for anyone who uses a CMake / Qt / Clang toolchain (or any MinGW-ish toolchain) for building on Windows.

What a drag this was! The Microsoft documentation is fairly complete, but also full of pretty old data – it is for instance not really clear how putting a Win32 app relates to UWP, to which version of UWP as the docs describes different ways between Windows 8 and Windows 10, etc.īut, in the end, we managed to get a reproducible procedure that I’m happily sharing here to allow other open-source software to be distributed there – it can be for instance mostly automated in Github Actions. Ossia score is an interactive and intermedia sequencer: it allows to score multimedia content and processes in an interactive timeline, such as sound, MIDI, OSC messages, gamepad controls, video, VST plug-ins, scripts, with a specifically tailored visual language. TL DR: we released ossia score on the Microsoft Store, support and fund the development by buying it there! Jean-Michaël Celerier Getting ossia score on the Microsoft Store.

Feel free to remove CMakeCache.txt and CMakeFiles. Message(FATAL_ERROR 'You cannot build in a source directory (or any directory with a CMakeLists.txt file). To add this folder to your CMake path: set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH '$/CMakeLists.txt' LOC_PATH) An set of some common helpers is at /CLIUtils/cmake. You often want a cmake folder, with all of your helper modules. Use add_subdirectory to add a subdirectory containing a CMakeLists.txt. That's also why there is a directory for your project inside the include directory. This is because you should be able to copy the contents of the include directory to /usr/include or similar directly (except for configuration headers, which I go over in another chapter), and not have any extra files or cause any conflicts. Notice a few things already apparent the CMakeLists.txt files are split up over all source directories, and are not in the include directories. You'll also sometime see a python folder for python bindings, or a cmake folder for helper CMake files, like Find.cmake files. tests/, and the application folder may be called something else (or not exist for a library-only project). The names are not absolute you'll see contention about test/ vs.

Keep from muddling and complicating your build.įirst, this is what your files should look like when you start if your project is creatively called project, with a library called lib, and a executable called app: - project.

Easily read other projects following the same patterns,.

This is based on convention, but will help you:
