rleft, rbottom, rwidth, and rheight are deprecated, they were used together to set a custom rectangle to find the queue number in. This can still be used to override the automatic detection result.

Compiling From Source

So you want to compile from source huh? Take this handy guide with you!

You will need to install https://cmake.org/ , https://git-scm.com/ , and a windows c++17 compiler supported by cmake like https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/ .

If you do not have a user-integrated vcpkg, please run .\bootstrap.bat in either cmd or powershell. This will set up the dependency toolchain. Warning this takes a short while (7 minutes on my machine) and takes up a bit of space (a little under 2 GB). If you DO have a user-integrated vcpkg, install the dependencies mentioned in bootstrap.bat and edit the toolchain path in build.bat (I am assuming if this is the case you are a developer and know how to do this).

Next run .\build.bat in either cmd or powershell. The package can be used or distributed from WOWQueueCamper/build/Release . You're all done! Pat yourself on the back or add a new issue if this did not work for you.
