Windows Compilation

Note: as of April 2016 Windows builds may or may not work. See https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osrm-talk/2016-May/001214.html

Ready to use Release binaries are available here

Currently Debug binaries are out of date.

If you plan to run the binaries on a machine without Visual Studio 2015 installed you need the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (currently Update 3): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

---

To start compiling following software needs to be installed:

1. Latest Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 (Community or better, MSVC full version 190024210) - earlier versions are not supported

• https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx

2. Git for Windows:

• https://git-scm.com/

3. CMake

• https://cmake.org/download/
• Minimum required version is 3.7.0 with Boost 1.62 version supported in FindBoost.cmake

4. 7-Zip

• http://www.7-zip.org/

5. nodejs 4.x LTS (needed to run tests)

• https://nodejs.org/

Use a stock command prompt, don't use a VS2015 command prompt.

---

• Open a stock command prompt
• Change to a folder of your choice
• git clone https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend.git
• cd osrm-backend
• build-local.bat

After a few minutes (depending on how powerful your machine is) you should end up with an archive named osrm_Release.zip that contains everything needed to run OSRM.

As mentioned above: If you plan to run the binaries on a machine without Visual Studio 2015 installed you need the latest Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (currently Update 3): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52982
