BUILD_AND_DEPLOY.md

Build instructions

You'll need:

• The K2TrackingDevice-Samples repo cloned somewhere and cd'd into
• (For testing purpose) Working installation of Amethyst and SteamVR

Follow these steps:

• Install tools for the Windows App development.
  You'll have to install Visual Studio 2022 or its Build Tools.

• Set up external dependencies

  git submodule update --init

• Build Samples:
  

  # Download the vswhere tool to find msbuild without additional interactions
  > Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://github.com/microsoft/vswhere/releases/latest/download/vswhere.exe' -OutFile './vswhere.exe'
  # Use the downloaded vswhere tool to find msbuild. Skip this step if you use the Dev Powershell
  > $msbuild = "$("$(.\vswhere.exe -legacy -prerelease -products * -format json | Select-String -Pattern "2022" | `
        Select-String -Pattern "Studio" | Select-Object -First 1 | Select-String -Pattern "installationPath")" `
        -replace('"installationPath": "','') -replace('",',''))".Trim() + "\\MSBuild\\Current\\Bin\\MSBuild.exe"
  
  # Restore NuGet packages and build everything
  > &"$msbuild" K2TrackingDevice_Samples.sln "/p:Configuration=Release;Platform=x64"

Deployment

The whole output can be found in x64/Release directory
(or x64/Debug if you're building for Debug, naturally) and:

• Devices (plugins) are inside devices/ folder

Note: Debug builds will only work with a debug host,
the same schema applies to OpenVR Driver, the API and Amethyst.
