Any help would be appreciated (unfortunately I don't know much about C++) but am trying my best! I see it was successful here but the artifacts are gone now. https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Mapbox/osmium-tool/build/1.0.281/job/va8388o8synhjii8

2	Got it working, instead of building boost I used a pre-built binary - https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/ https://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost-binaries/1.63.0/boost_1_63_0-msvc-14.0-64.exe answered 06 Feb '22, 01:52 aarismendi 56●1●1●5 accept rate: 0%

I have no problem opening, building and debugging in Visual Studio on Windows.
You need to make sure that all required c++ components are installed, incl cmake and vcpkg.

Tested on latest Visual Studio 2022 Community version, Windows 11.
My build artefacts: google drive.

Easy local build script using vcpkg, like github actions cmake and build:

Install vcpkg https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg#quick-start-windows
Install cmake (set PATH environment) https://cmake.org/download/
Cd work dir, clone osmium-tool, libosmium, protozero
Copy build-local-vcpkg.bat (see google drive) to osmium-tool dir and launch
The binaries dir: work-dir\osmium-tool\build\src\Release\

Should work without Visual Studio.

For completeness, which Visual Studio version you were using?

Hi aarismendi, I also look for osmium.exe for windows. But I am not able to compile it by myself. Can you share the osmium.exe for windows ? If yes, please contact me thomas(at)img2ms.de

Just a thought - would Windows Subsystem for Linux be an option for you? That way you wouldn't have to be a small Windows dog on the floor waiting for he crumbs to fall off the Linux table :)

I will try to install the linux subsystem... maybee it is the solution..

There is no need to compile it for windows by yourself. There are ready to use compiled builds available at internet: My way : install anacaonda, it includes all binaries and the osmium.exe. After installing Anacanda, I get a directory \Anaconda3\Library\bin. Then i copied boost_program_options.dll; libbz2.dll;libexpat.dll;liblz4.dll;zlib.dll and osmium.exe to a other PC and can work with osmium.exe.
