Building from source

[NospamNospam]

Hello. Can you please list the prerequisites for building the project from source, VS loadouts included?

See the "Contributing" section of the readme.

Yes, I added the user config, but some references are still unresolved, HMUI for example. There are also Git errors regarding GetCommitInfo. So, can you please describe the exact toolchain needed to build the project from scratch, meaning only BeatSaber and the plugins listed as required by readme are installed?

[Kevga]

There is nothing else. If HMUI, which is part of the game, remains unresolved, then you likely didn't set up the user config correctly.

And what would be incorrect if the config points to the latest version installed? Actually, the project builds now, after adding some mods to BS, despite the dependencies still being partially unresolved. Maybe some dependencies are missing from the readme? And I'm using Visual Studio CE, if it has anything to do with this.

Please check whether your game version matches the mod repository version, and this is how I resolve the failed-to-build error even if I just cloned this repo without any modification. As you can see, every release of the game itself changes its implementation details and mods have to adjust accordingly, and if they are not matched, errors raise.

If your game version is the latest 1.38.0, then maybe a fresh clone shouldn't have any error (Not verified personally), but for me with the game at 1.37.1, I have to roll back this repo to commit hash e8b110f7, and I assume you may choose your commit hash accordingly.

[NospamNospam]

I have several versions of the game installed, the configuration file mentioned in readme is pointing to the 1.38.0, and the repository is at the head of the master branch.
