Installing from 0.5 fails

[joa-quim]

Because its looking for a QML-julia-0.5-win64.zip that does not exist. Only a QML-julia-0.4-win64.zip

Ah, yes, the binaries are just a test, they are outdated. I'm slowly working towards a release, but if you want to try now installing the latest free Visual Studio, Qt and CMake and then setting the BUILD_ON_WINDOWS environment variable to "1" as well as CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the correct Qt binary dir should result in a build in a relatively painless manner.

Hmm, I have VS2015 Update 2, which I use to build other (cmake) projects but got this error that I'm not sure how to interpret.

I think this is because cmake is not found in the path, you need to add the directory containing cmake.exe to the PATH environment variable (properties on Computer, then advanced settings)

[joa-quim]

Thanks, that part was it (I don't have cmake in the path by default).
But it seams that a bit of your data is leaking into the cmake scripts

-- Configuring done
CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
  Imported target "CxxWrap::cxx_wrap" includes non-existent path

    "C:/Users/bartj/AppData/Local/Julia-0.5.0-win64/include/julia"

  in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.  Possible reasons include:

  * The path was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

[barche]

I think that is because it is using the CxxWrap binaries. You could just try Pkg.build("CxxWrap") after setting BUILD_ON_WINDOWS, or if that doesn't work first remove the usr and downloads dirs in .julia/0.5/CxxWrap/depsand then try to build CxxWrap again.

[joa-quim]

Yep, that worked (had to remove the CxxWrap usr. Thanks
And BTW, the build process should remove the build dirs at the end for not leaving them as forgotten trash.

[joa-quim]

Not exactly the same issue but this kills julia itself

julia> include("C:/j/.julia/v0.5/QML/example/glvisualize.jl")

That's the most experimental example, only tested on my macOS machine. You need the latest GLVisualize release (not checked out) and add a set_root_screen function there, as described here: JuliaGL/GLVisualize.jl#94 (comment)

The error you get looks more fundamental, however, I'll have to test on Windows too. Also, I need to clean up the requirements (make them conditional somehow), so for anything to work right now all the packages listed here need to be installed, even though they are only used in the GLvisualize example:
https://github.com/barche/QML.jl/blob/master/src/glvisualize_callbacks.jl#L1-L10

The last version I tested on Windows is 1db61dc, reverting to that should also work.

[joa-quim]

I have it all but the set_root_screen function.
