Windows 10/11\n   - Visual Studio 2022 with:\n     - MSVC v143 compiler toolset\n     - Windows 10/11 SDK\n     - MFC for latest v143 build tools (x86 \u0026 x64)\n\n2. **Clone the repository**\n\n   ```sh\n   git clone https://github.com/ColorCop/ColorCop.git\n   cd ColorCop\n\n## Building\n\n  MSBuild.exe ColorCop.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=Win32\n\n### Build Configurations\n\n- **Debug**: Development build with debugging symbols\n- **Release**: Optimized production build\n\n## Release Workflow\n\nColorCop uses **semantic version tags** (e.g., `v5.5.2`) to drive the release pipeline.\nPushing a new tag triggers GitHub Actions to:\n\n- Build the application\n- Update version metadata\n- Publish a new GitHub Release with compiled binaries\n\n\u003e GitHub does **not** support a “post‑release” event.\n\u003e The following steps must be run **after** the GitHub Release has been created.\n\n### Post‑release actions\n\nAfter a new release is published on GitHub, two manual follow‑up workflows must be run:\n\n#### 1. Publish to Chocolatey\n\n1. Go to **Actions → Publish Chocolatey Package**\n2. Click **Run workflow**\n3. Enter the release tag (e.g., `v5.5.2`)\n4. Run the workflow to publish the updated Chocolatey package\n\n#### 2. Publish to WinGet\n\n1. Go to **Actions → Publish to WinGet**\n2. Click **Run workflow**\n3. Enter the same release tag (e.g., `v5.5.2`)\n4. Run the workflow to submit the updated WinGet manifest\n\n### Listing existing tags\n\n```sh\ngit tag --list\n```\n\n## Development\n\n### Project Structure\n\n- `ColorCop.cpp/h` - Main application class\n- `ColorCopDlg.cpp/h` - Main dialog implementation\n- `SystemTray.cpp/h` - System tray functionality\n- `colorspace.cpp/h` - Color conversion utilities\n- `Res/` - Application resources and icons\n\n## Code Linting\n\nThis project uses [cpplint](https://github.com/cpplint/cpplint) to enforce C++ style guidelines.\n\n**Install:**\n\n```sh\npip install cpplint\n```\n\n**Run linting:**\n\n```sh\nmise lint\n```\n\n### Contributing\n\n1. Fork the repository\n2. Create a feature branch\n3. Make your changes\n4. Test thoroughly on Windows 10/11\n5. Submit a pull request\n\n## License\n\nColorCop is licensed under the **MIT License**.\n\nSee [LICENSE.txt](LICENSE.txt) for the full license text.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n**Build Errors:**\n\n- Ensure MFC components are installed in Visual Studio 2022\n- Verify Windows SDK is installed\n- Check that platform toolset is set to v143\n\n**Runtime Issues:**\n\n- Install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2022\n","funding_links":["https://github.com/sponsors/j4y"],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcolorcop%2Fcolorcop","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcolorcop%2Fcolorcop","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcolorcop%2Fcolorcop/lists"}
