Basic steps

[savazios]

Hello.
Is there any guide for the very very basic steps to start, trying :) , developping EPANET. Familiar with C programming itself, but not with all the rest (the surrounding set up i.e tools, platforms etc.).
Thanks in advance.

I started last year. I couldn't find it. I used embarcadero
dev c++ portable (without installation). After a few days of testing it ran successfully, but I had to change all the stdcall directives in the header files.

Thanks. It looks like I'll start from there.

I think this is not the easiest way. It would be easier with cmake but I don't know how to use it yet. :)

I've heard about it. I'll check it out first then. Thanks.

Thank you for your interest in contributing to EPANET!

In case you need support for the GitHub workflow, you can have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/contributing-to-epanet-using-github-in-windows/64627348

Also you can have a look at @Mariosmsk videos on how to compile EPANET, eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Cez_mzG0dM

Following the video, is there any other way to bring the epanet folder locally (besides dropbox or other similar applications) in order to compile EPANET?

👍 I followed the steps according to the tutorial and it worked as suggested with GitHub Desktop (it was even more automated than the tutorial, e.g. after installing I was suggested which repository to clone etc.).
From that point on I'm getting back to the youtube video for the compile.

p.s.When I was creating the fork, I was asked whether to fork only the "dev" branch from the original EPANET which is what I did, is it ok?
Also, since the fork I made from epanet repository (actually its "dev" branch) is like a copy which does not affect the original, why is there a need to make a branch of the already forked "dev" branch?
