# contrib/ This folder contains contributions that may be useful to users of this library, but have a too specialized audience to become part of the main tree. In particular, things in here will have a higher rate of bit-rot, since contributors are not required to and may be unable to check whether their changes break any of them. ## Windows support Tested on the following environment * Windows 10 - 64bit * Anaconda 4.3 (64 bit) * Python 3.6.0 * CMake 3.9.4 * Visual Studio 2017, 2015, 2013 ### Configuring and Building Samples 1. Edit WinBuild.cmd for your environment(Line:5-7) if NOT DEFINED MSVC_VERSION set MSVC_VERSION=[Your Visual Studio Version(12, 14, 15)] if NOT DEFINED CMAKE_CONFIG set CMAKE_CONFIG=Release if NOT DEFINED PYTHONHOME set PYTHONHOME=[Your Python Path] 2. Run WinBuild.cmd to build ```cmd > cd contrib > WinBuild.cmd ``` The `WinBuild.cmd` will set up temporal ENV variables and build binaries in (matplotlib root)/examples with the Release configuration. 3. Find exe files in examples/build/Release Note: platforms folder is necessary to make qt works.
