Info to orient new developers to Sumatra code base.
You should install Go (https://golang.org/dl/).
Many tasks are automated with Go program in
do
directory. Run doit.bat
for easy
running of that program. use different cmd-line args to trigger
different functions.To build, use latest Visual Studio and open
vs2019\SumatraPDF.sln
solution. Look at different
targets and configurations.Don't edit the solution directly. To learn how to make
changes (add files, change compilation flags etc.) see info about
build system.
We use
GitHub Actions
for a CI system. See
.github
directory. Most
importantly it builds a 64-bit release version on every checkin to
catch build errors and uploads it to storage and makes available
via
