Hey guys sorry I know this is a dumb question but what commands am I supposed to run to get barrier to build in windows? I can't make Barrier on Windows work with my Linux PCs so I am gonna try to compile it on Windows in the hopes that that'll solve it...
Running this:

@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
Adrian I have looked at that but I'm still having trouble :/ can you please tell me what I am supposed to run????
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
cmake, make, make install... like what am I supposed to run on Windows? That's all I really need to know to understand this :( this is driving me crazy, please just tell me the commands I need to know... I got cmake to run properly I think, but I can't make make run, IDK what the windows-equivalent is and I'm having trouble figuring it out....

Doesn't tell me the commands to enter, please I just want to make barrier work while I am gaming on Windows! version 2.1.0 for whatever reason doesn't work for me, I've tried everything, so now I'm trying to try a later version in the hopes that some fixes have been made in regards to Windows-Linux compatibility..... I'm just stumped on figuring out the next few commands I'm supposed to enter, I've never done this successfully before...
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
It says, very clearly:
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
O_o but why isn't that working.... I have tried that... it just opens up a cmd prompt and then closes on me before I can even read anything.. I configured that file right, I've installed everything necessary, yet I still just can't make it work...
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
Did you follow the instructions correctly?

Yes! I have tried my utmost best to follow everything to a T, I feel like I must be overlooking something but I have no idea what... I've never done this in Windows before... its so easy in Linux.
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
Did you install
cmake?@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
Yep, had to fix the path for cmake but it works now, I can run cmake successfully
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
What commands can I run that will give you a better idea of what we can do here? I am using the Bash shell in Powershell.
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
Also I can click the clean_build.bat too and it will open in a cmd prompt I guess not in bash? IDK how that works, either way nothing seems to get it to install.
When I run cmake .. I get :
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
but when I try to run "make" I get:
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
Did you run the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio? Then
navigate to the barrier's folder an invoke
clean.bat?On 1/14/19 5:45 PM, johnny-mac wrote:

maybe if I can just get this path exported I might get somewhere....
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
How do I export that path? :/ maybe if I can figure that out I might manage to get it to build
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
You don't have to fix any path. If you're "fixing" paths, you're doing
something wrong.

Could you guys please make a new release soon for Windows? :/ I guess this just isn't something I can do...
@AdrianKoshka commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
I'm going to assume you've added Barrier in the windows firewall.
@johnny-mac commented on GitHub (Jan 14, 2019):
Yep, done that too.... Starting to seem hopeless. I keep going over everything in the hopes that I figure out what I'm doing wrong, I keep as much attention to detail as I possibly can but I just can't figure this out....
