Build instructions for Visual Studio 2019

Prepare folder

Choose an empty folder for the future build, for example D:\TBuild. It will be named BuildPath in the rest of this document. Create two folders there, BuildPath\ThirdParty and BuildPath\Libraries.

All commands (if not stated otherwise) will be launched from x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.bat (should be in Start Menu > Visual Studio 2019 menu folder). Pay attention not to use any other Command Prompt.

Obtain your API credentials

You will require api_id and api_hash to access the Telegram API servers. To learn how to obtain them click here.

Install third party software

Open x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.bat, go to BuildPath and run

cd ThirdParty
git clone https://github.com/desktop-app/patches.git
cd patches
git checkout 53ed295
cd ../
git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp
cd gyp
git checkout 9f2a7bb1
git apply ../patches/gyp.diff
cd ..\..

Add GYP and Ninja to your PATH:

  • Open Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings
  • Press Environment Variables...
  • Select Path
  • Press Edit
  • Add BuildPath\ThirdParty\gyp value
  • Add BuildPath\ThirdParty\Ninja value

Clone source code and prepare libraries

Open x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.bat, go to BuildPath and run
