- Version 3.1.3 of Coin 3D is built and installed. The patches from Wizzer Works must be applied.
- Instructions assume that the installation directory is M:\Coin3D.
- Coin3D is an implementation of the SGI Inventor framework. It is required by the Magic Lantern Rehearsal Player. Note that the Rehearsal Player will be bound to the GNU General Public License if built with Coin3D. Alternative options are currently being investigated.
- The most recent version can be found at http://www.coin3d.org/lib/downloads.
- To build the source, use Coin-3.1.3\build\msvc8\coin3.sln.
- Version 1.5.0 of SoWin is built and installed. The patches from Wizzer Works must be applied.
- Instructions assume that the installation directory is M:\Coin3D.
- The most recent version can be found at http://www.coin3d.org/lib/downloads.
- To build the source, use SoWin-1.5.0\build\msvc8\sowin1.dsw.
- Version 1.7.0 of simage is built and installed.
- Instructions assume that the installation directory is M:\Coin3D.
- The most recent version can be found at http://www.coin3d.org/lib/downloads.
- To build the source, use simage-1.7.0\build\msvc8\simage1.sln'.
- Version 3.15.0 of FreeImage
- Instructions assume that the installation directory is M:\FreeImage.
- The most recent version can be found at http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/download.html.
Assumptions
These instructions assume the following
- The dependencies above are installed under a Windows drive labeled "M" (e.g. M:).
- The Magic Lantern software has been downloaded into the "M:\projects\MagicLantern" directory and the MLE_HOME environment variable is set to "M:\projects\MagicLantern".
- You already know how to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
Environment Variables
MLE_HOME Environment Variable
Set the variable MLE_HOME to reference the home of the Magic Lantern source. This document assumes that it is set to "M:\projects\MagicLantern".
MLE_ROOT Environment Variable
Set the variable MLE_ROOT to reference the root directory where the Magic Lantern components will be installed. This document assumes that it is set to "M:/projects/MagicLantern".
Note that this variable uses the UNIX-style path delimiter ('/').
MLE_WORKPRINTS Environment Variable
Set the variable MLE_WORKPRINTS to the root directory where Magic Lantern Digital Workprints can be located. This document assumes that it is set to //M/projects/MagicLantern.
The Magic Lantern Studio assumes that the Digital Workprints will be located under the $MLE_WORKPRINTS/workprints directory.
Note that this variable uses a canonical path style for the drive (i.e. //M/).
MLEDEV_CORE Environment Variable
Set the MLEDEV_CORE variable to the development directory where the Core library source is. This value will most likely be $MLE_HOME\Core.
MLEDEV_DWP Environment Variable
Set the MLEDEV_DWP variable to the development directory where the Digital Workprint library source is. This value will most likely be $MLE_HOME\DigitalWorkprint.
COINDIR Environment Variable
Set the COINDIR variable to the installation directory for Coin3D. For these instructions, use M:\Coin3D.
FREEIMAGEDIR Environment Variable
Set the FREEIMAGEDIR variable to the installation directory for FreeImage. For these instructions, use M:\FreeImage\Dist.
PATH Environment Variable
Make sure the following paths are part of the PATH environment variable.
- M:\projects\MagicLantern\bin
- M:\projects\MagicLantern\bin\rehearsal
- M:\Coin3d\bin

Build the Magic Lantern SDK Properties Distribution
These instructions discuss how to build the Properties and Digital Workprints for Magic Lantern SDK.
- Open a shell that is compatible with the Wizzer Works development environment (e.g. Cygwin bash).
- cd $MLE_HOME\Parts\props\win32
- make install
OR
- cd $MLE_HOME\build\win32
- msbuild build.msvc8.proj /t:BuildProperties32
This distributes the props header files to "$MLE_HOME\include\mle" and the props workprint files to "$MLE_HOME\include\workprints".
Rehearsal Player Dependency Workaround
NOTE: There are some dependency issues with building the Roles, Sets and Stages for the Rehearsal Player platform. This affects steps X, XI and XIV below. Essentially, there is a circular dependency chain:
- Mle2dRole[d].dll "depends on" Mle2dSet[d].lib
- Mle2dSet[d].dll "depends on" MleIvStage[d].lib and Mle2dRole[d].lib
- Mle3dSet[d].dll "depends on" MleIvStage[d].lib
- MleIvStage[d].dll "depends on" Mle2dRole[d].lib and Mle2dSet[d].lib and Mle3dSet[d].lib
To break this dependency chain, we need to generate the .lib files independently of when the .dll files are built.
Manual Steps
- Build the MleIvStage object files first. This will generate the .obj files but fail to create the MleIvStage[d].dll and MleIvStage[d].lib files. See section Build the Magic Lantern SDK Stages below for the Microsoft workspace location.
- In a shell window, cd "$MLE_HOME\Parts\stages\rehearsal\build\msvc8\Win32\Debug.
- Run "lib.exe /out:MleIvStaged.lib /def *.obj". This will generate the MleIvStaged.lib file. Copy the library to $MLE_HOME\lib\rehearsal.
- cd "$MLE_HOME\Parts\stages\rehearsal\build\msvc8\Win32\Release.
- Run "lib.exe /out:MleIvStage.lib /def *.obj". This will generate the MleIvStage.lib file. Copy the library to $MLE_HOME\lib\rehearsal.
- Build the Mle2dRole object files. This will generate the .obj files but fail to create the Mle2dRole[d].dll and Mle2dRole[d].lib files. See section Build the Magic Lantern SDK Roles below for the Microsoft workspace location.
- In a shell window, cd "$MLE_HOME\Parts\roles\win32\build\msvc8\Win32\Mle2dRoleDebug".
- Run "lib.exe /out:Mle2dRoled.lib /def *.obj". This will generate the Mle2dRoled.lib file. Copy the library to $MLE_HOME\lib\rehearsal.
- cd "$MLE_HOME\Parts\roles\win32\build\msvc8\Win32\Mle2dRoleRelease.
- Run "lib.exe /out:Mle2dRole.lib /def *.obj". This will generate the Mle2dRole.lib file. Copy the library to $MLE_HOME\lib\rehearsal.
- Build the Sets. See section Build the Magic Lantern SDK Sets below for the Microsoft workspace location.
OR
Using MSBuild
- cd $MLE_HOME\build\win32
