2. change into the local copy of the repository: cd TyLauncher
3. create a new folder e.g. build and change into this directory: mkdir build && cd build
4. generate the Makefiles in the build directory: qmake ../src -r -spec win32-msvc2013

Build

1. Open Visual Studio Command Prompt (2013) via start menu
2. Execute jom in the build directory: jom

Copy Dependencies

1. run after-build script in the build directory: call ..\scripts\after-build.bat ../src %cd%
2. run packaging script in the build directory:

• build 32 bit:

  SET QTDIR=D:\Qt\Qt5.5.0\5.5\msvc2013
  call ..\scripts\packaging.bat ../src %cd% TyLauncher C:/Windows/System32
  ```
  

• build 64 bit:

  SET QTDIR=D:\Qt\Qt5.5.0\5.5\msvc2013_64
  call ..\scripts\packaging.bat ../src %cd% TyLauncher C:/Windows/SysWOW64

2. Add Packaging build configuration

clone release build configuration.

3. Add after-build-packaging Script

Add a Build Steps - Custom Process Steps

• Commend: %{sourceDir}\..\scripts\packaging.bat

• Arguments: %{sourceDir} %{buildDir} %{CurrentProject:Name} [windows root]

  if you packaging x86 application. [windows root] is like C:/Windows/System32

  %{sourceDir} %{buildDir} %{CurrentProject:Name} C:/Windows/System32

  or x64 application. [windows root] is like C:/Windows/SysWOW64

  %{sourceDir} %{buildDir} %{CurrentProject:Name} C:/Windows/SysWOW64
