- Introduced a new Python script, `generate-vs-projects-simple.py`, to create Visual Studio project files without complex CMake dependencies.
- The script generates both `.vcxproj` and `.sln` files, consolidating source and header files for the YAZE project.
- Updated the Windows development setup script to utilize the new generator, providing fallback to the original if the simple generator fails.
- Enhanced user instructions for building the project in Visual Studio.
- Transitioned from a function-based structure to a sequential approach, simplifying the script flow.
- Enhanced user feedback with clear status messages for each setup step, including checks for project directory, Visual Studio, Git, Python, and vcpkg.
- Improved error handling and instructions for missing dependencies, ensuring a smoother setup process.
- Streamlined the process for generating Visual Studio project files and testing builds, making it more user-friendly.
- Transitioned to a function-based approach, reducing complex conditional statements.
- Enhanced user feedback with a consistent messaging function for status updates.
- Modularized setup steps for checking project directory, Visual Studio, Git, Python, and vcpkg.
- Improved error handling and instructions for each setup step, ensuring a clearer user experience.
- Simplified the script structure by removing complex conditional statements.
- Enhanced output messages for each setup step, providing clearer guidance on the status of checks for project files, Visual Studio, Git, Python, and vcpkg.
- Improved error handling and user instructions for missing dependencies and setup steps.
- Streamlined the process for generating Visual Studio project files and testing builds, ensuring a more user-friendly experience.
- Refactored batch and PowerShell build scripts to streamline argument parsing and enhance error handling.
- Added support for cleaning build directories and improved feedback for missing dependencies.
- Updated project file generation logic to handle missing configuration files more gracefully.
- Introduced a new validation script to ensure the build environment is correctly set up before building.
- Removed obsolete setup scripts to simplify the repository structure.
- Enhanced Git and Python checks to ensure proper installation before proceeding with setup.
- Updated vcpkg cloning logic to verify Git availability and provide clearer error messages.
- Improved project file generation and build testing sections with additional user feedback and error handling.
- Removed obsolete PowerShell syntax test script to streamline the repository.
- Removed obsolete project entries from the solution file to streamline structure.
- Updated YAZE project configuration to enable vcpkg integration and multi-architecture support.
- Enhanced build scripts for Windows, including automated setup and testing processes.
- Added new documentation for Windows development setup and build instructions.
- Implemented checks for CMake in both batch and PowerShell scripts to ensure it is available before proceeding.
- Added logic to attempt installation of CMake via Chocolatey if not found, with appropriate user feedback.
- Enhanced user experience by providing instructions for manual installation if Chocolatey is not present.
- Included verification steps to confirm successful installation of CMake after the installation attempt.
- Introduced a new setup script for Windows development environment, automating the installation of essential tools like Git, Ninja, and Python 3, along with checks for Visual Studio.
