Trying to get AwsomeBump built ? Win 7-64 about awesomebump

AwesomeBump 3.14 binaries are available for Windows, is there a specific reason you need to compile from source? https://github.com/kmkolasinski/AwesomeBump/releases/tag/Winx32v3.1.4

Hi Thanks for the response.
I tried running just the binary (v3.1.4) and I get the following, I couldn't work out if there was a run time for QT and there didn't seem to be any other explanations as to how to fix. so I tried the build path.

I'm in NZ so its just gone 23:00 I'll check back in the morning or tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
Cheers Willy

Well, I hate to tell you to reinstall Qt again, but you might just have to do that. I'm not on Windows anymore, so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to help.

Hi,
1.) It seems you don't have installed Qt compiler only IDE. I don't know why but probably you just have to reinstall proper Qt package: try this link: https://www.qt.io/download/ and choose MinGW compiler toolbox during installation. It should work.
2.) if you download the 3.14.exe file you also have to download full package which contains all necessary libraries: Download this package: https://github.com/kmkolasinski/AwesomeBump/releases/download/Winx32v3.0.4/AwesomeBumpV3.0.2Bin32x64Win7.zip
Then copy the AwesomeBump3.14.exe file to this folder. Since 3.0 I've started to upload only the "patch" file. Did you read description here:

Hi guys,
many thanks.
first - i have it running so 👍 👍 2 thumbs up and thanks. I feel a little sheepish as i didn't spot the full package above the 3.14 download. It would be good if that was listed under Downloads too.
Also might have saved me a few gigs of traffic but hey you got to try new things

so to be clear I downloaded the Package above, unzipped it to a folder and then copied the latest 3.14 and its all go.

Now the fun start i guess, I have found a few bugs with the UI and I'll post these once I get a bit more familiar. RE QT, I'm working on getting to grips with Blender so one challenge at a time, i might come back to QT one day. Looks like a great tool, unfortunately my knowledge of how some of this works is lacking but I'm happy to put in the time. I'll let you know how i get on with my rope ?

Many thanks again, Cheers Willy

Thanks for info, glad it works.
I'm still waiting for comments about bugs in UI from Terrance8D :P
But any help from both of you will be appreciated :)

Haha, sorry, didn't know you were waiting on me.:P I haven't used it much, I've been mostly doing modeling lately.
