Translations:Compile on Windows/210/en


 * 1) Change to the FreeCAD source folder ~\src\Tools\plugins\widget
 * 2) Open a MSVC x64 command prompt using the Windows Start menu and change within it to the above folder. It is important that it is the x64 version of the MSVC command prompt!
 * 3) Execute this command If qmake could not be found, use the full path to it, e.g. for the LibPack it should be this one (adapt it to your installation): D:\FreeCAD-build\FreeCADLibs_12.5.2_x64_VC17\bin\qmake -t vclib plugin.pro for a full Qt installation it is C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019_64\bin\qmake -t vclib plugin.pro (adapt the paths to your installation!)
 * 4) The call of qmake created the file FreeCAD_widgets.vcxproj in the folder ~\src\Tools\plugins\widget. Double-click on it and the MSVC IDE will open.
 * 5) In the toolbar of the MSVC IDE assure that you use the compilation target Release.
 * 6) There is a window called Solution Explorer. Right-click there on FreeCAD_widgets and then choose Build.
 * 7) As result you should now have a FreeCAD_widgets.dll in the folder ~\src\Tools\plugins\widget\release that you can install as plugin as described above.
