# Build Instructions (windows)

########################################################################

##### Generate the project with cmake #####

Open the cmake gui program.

Set the path to the source code: <uhd-repo-path>/host

Set the path to the build directory: <uhd-repo-path>/host/build

Make sure that the paths do not contain spaces.

Click configure and select the MSVC compiler.

Set the build variables and click configure again.

Click generate and a project file will be created in the build directory.

##### Build the project in MSVC #####

Open the generated project file in MSVC.

Select the build all target, right click, and choose build.

Select the install target, right click, and choose build.

    Note: you may not have permission to build the install target.

    You need to be an administrator or to run MSVC as administrator.

##### Setup the PATH environment variable #####

Add the boost library path and uhd library path to your %PATH%.

Usually c:\program files\boost\<version>\lib and c:\program files\uhd\lib
