Installing PMDK on Microsoft Windows
The recommended and easiest way to install PMDK on Windows is to use Microsoft vcpkg.
Vcpkg is an open source tool and ecosystem created for library management. To build
PMDK from source that can be used in a different packaging or development solution, see
the README on https://github.com/pmem/pmdk or https://docs.pmem.io.
To install the latest PMDK release and link it to your Visual Studio solution, you first
need to clone and set up vcpkg on your machine as described on the vcpkg GitHub page
(https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg).
In brief:
> git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
> cd vcpkg
> .\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
> .\vcpkg integrate install
> .\vcpkg install pmdk:x64-windows
Note The last command can take a while as PMDK builds and installs.
After successful completion of all of the preceding steps, the libraries are ready to
be used in Visual Studio with no additional configuration is required. Just open Visual
Studio with your existing project or create a new one (remember to use platform x64)
and then include headers to project as you always do.
