Columns UI is released under the Lesser GNU Public Licence (see COPYING and COPYING.LESSER).

To clone the repo and dependencies, download and install Git, and then run:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/reupen/columns_ui.git

This repo makes use of Git submodules. If you're not familiar with them, check out the guide here.

Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 is required to build Columns UI. You can use the free community edition. (If you don't want to install the IDE, you can use the Visual C++ Build Tools and skip to the MSBuild section below.)

You'll need the Windows SDK for Windows 8.1 (installed by default with Visual Studio 2015).

Open vc14/columns_ui-public.sln in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3. Select the Release configuration and the Win32 platform, and build the solution. If the build is successful, foo_ui_columns.dll will be output in vc14\Release.

You can use MSBuild if you prefer. In a VS2015 Native Tools x86 command prompt, run:

msbuild /m /p:Platform=Win32 /p:Configuration=Release vc14\columns_ui-public.sln

If the build is successful, foo_ui_columns.dll will be output in vc14\Release.

For a clean build, run:

msbuild /m /p:Platform=Win32 /p:Configuration=Release /t:Rebuild vc14\columns_ui-public.sln

If you're feeling adventurous, you can compile Columns UI using Clang 4.0.0 or newer and MSBuild. Download and install a release build or a snapshot build (older snapshot builds) from the LLVM website. In a VS2015 Native Tools x86 command prompt, run:

msbuild /m /p:PlatformToolset=LLVM-vs2014 /p:Platform=Win32 /p:Configuration=Release /t:Rebuild vc14\columns_ui-public.sln
