I have checked my environment variables and VCTOOLSREDISTDIR and
VCINSTALLDIR does not exist in a permanent way (maybe these are
set up somehow at run time). Would I just create these variable
and point them to the relevant directories for MSVC 2019. What
variables do you have set up? Any help welcome. Thanks.<br>
<br>
David.<br>
<br>
PS Maybe this will help?<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
Thanks for your reply.<br>
I will read the information in the links you provided and
give craft a try.<br>
Are there any other ways of compiling Ktechlab for Windows
10? I saw MSVC 2019 mentioned somewhere (I have VS 2019
and 2022 community editions installed).<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
Ive managed to install KTECHLAB on linux Mint
using the APT-GET command so I didn't have to
build anything. Where is the craft recipe located?
Is it in the source code repository? I'd like to
give it a try. Thanks.<br>

<div>Hi David,</div>

<div>building KTechLab on Windows requires KDE

<div>There exists a Craft recipe for KTechLab,
so in case Craft is set up, one can build
KTechLab with one command.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On Linux systems building is much simpler,
you just need to install KTechLab's build
dependencies, typically from package manager,
then get the source code and building and
running should work. Please see instructions
here:</div>

<div>Depending on how much experience you have
with software development or software
development on Windows, building on Linux
might be simpler to start overall, while
building on Windows might require to fix /
work-around some things as you go.</div>

Hi,<br>
I would like to build Ktechlab on Windows
10. I have QT Creator 8.01 installed but
Ive never used it. Maybe this would be an
opportunity to use QT. Do you have any
build instructions I can follow?<br>
I also have Linux Mint 21 "Vanessa"
installed and could build it on there as
well. Which would be the most
straightforward one to build on? Thanks.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
David, UK<br>
<br>
PS I also have visual studio 2019 and 2022
Community editions installed on Windows
10. How would I use these? Thanks.<br>
<br>
