问题
As mentioned here I've tried to build the QGIS on Windows 7.
There are two methods one using Visual Studio Express Edition installer and the second one using MinGW.
I've found both of them broken and don't know what to do next
In building using Visual Studio
The link to visual studio actually installs the version 2010 but documentation assumes it version 2009. So "set VS90COMNTOOLS=%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\" path is not found.
Also I'm confused about the context of this line:
If the path to bison and flex contains blanks, you need to use the short name for the directory (i.e. C:\Program Files should be rewritten to C:\Progra~n, where n is the number as shown in `dir /x C:``).
In Building using MinGW 4.2.1. MSYS link is not found(404) but when I try to build step by step I find XDR 4.0 not found(404) in this page
So what's the way to build it? All I want is to change the title and startup photo of QGIS Desktop software.
Using another application I'm now able to change the title of running QGIS but don't know where to change the photo which shows "Loading plugins...".
回答1:
The build instructions for Windows 7 are a tad long in the tooth, but they work for the most part. I did not try MinGW.
I immediately changed the VS90COMNTOOLS path to point to the Visual Studio 2010 directory and it seemed to work for me:
set VS90COMNTOOLS=%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\
Regarding bison and flex configuration, I used the latest version of CMake (3.3.1 as of now) and didn't encounter any warnings/errors pertaining to bison or flex. Are you encountering any right now? If not, you should be able to proceed.
