Eartrumpet: How to build EarTrumpet

[Onepamopa]

Where can we find a comprehensive guide on how to build EarTrumpet from source?

I've installed Visual Studio 2017 Community edition, however, it keeps spitting a ton of errors about missing stuff I don't know where to find.

Hey @Onepamopa, will write this up ASAP. Can you share the errors you're getting to ensure I cover all bases?

[Onepamopa]

I'm not saying "do this immediately". I just need the basic requirements - what do I need to install along with Visual Studio, so I would be able to compile it.

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(2110,5): warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "Windows". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.
1>C:\Users\user\Desktop\EarTrumpet-master\EarTrumpet\Extensions\PackageVersionExtensions.cs(1,7,1,14): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Windows' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

@Onepamopa Here you go, try this https://github.com/File-New-Project/EarTrumpet/blob/dev/COMPILING.md

I was using a newer SDK 10.0.17763.132, why the project requires an old one?

[riverar]

We still support Windows 10 Anniversary Edition, so need to target the lowest version.

Closing this as we have docs now. If you find any issues, feel free to re-open/comment.

@riverar Hey, in June I cloned & got it working, but had a fresh windows install since then. Now I followed the doc linked above, but it keeps spitting an error about the Windows reference in the Eartrumpet project. Any chance you forgot to mention that in the doc? 😃 See screenshot below, this is the output when I try to build the Package project on x86.

And the correct UWP SDK is installed:

@jclaessens97 I was able to reproduce this; workaround in #320
