| Installation on Microsoft Windows: |
| |
| There are three ways to create binaries of this package for Microsoft Windows: |
| 1) Native binaries, built using the mingw tool chain. |
| 2) Native binaries, built using the MS Visual C/C++ tool chain. |
| 3) Binaries for the Cygwin environment. |
| |
| =============================================================================== |
| 1) Native binaries, built using the mingw tool chain. |
| |
| I recommend to use the Cygwin environment as the development environment |
| and mingw only as the target (runtime, deployment) environment. |
| For this, you need to install |
| * Cygwin (from https://cygwin.com/), |
| * some packages available from the Cygwin package installer: |
| make |
| * the mingw cross-compilation tools and runtime package, available from |
| the Cygwin package installer (setup-x86_64.exe): |
| - for creating 32-bit binaries: packages |
| mingw64-i686-gcc-core, |
| mingw64-i686-headers, |
| mingw64-i686-runtime |
| - for creating 64-bit binaries: packages |
| mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core, |
| mingw64-x86_64-headers, |
| mingw64-x86_64-runtime |
| |
| Building 32-bit binaries for mingw is achieved through the following |
| preparation, configure, and build commands: |
| |
| PATH=/usr/local/mingw32/bin:$PATH |
| export PATH |
| ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/mingw32 \ |
| CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc \ |
| CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mingw32/include -Wall" \ |
| LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/mingw32/lib" |
| make |
| make check |
| |
| Building 64-bit binaries for mingw is achieved through the following |
| preparation, configure, and build commands: |
| |
| PATH=/usr/local/mingw64/bin:$PATH |
| export PATH |
| ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/mingw64 \ |
| CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc \ |
| CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mingw64/include -Wall" \ |
| LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/mingw64/lib" |
| make |
| make check |
| |
| Installation: |
| |
| make install |
| |
| =============================================================================== |
| 2) Native binaries, built using the MS Visual C/C++ tool chain. |
| |
| Note that binaries created with MSVC have a distribution constraint: They |
| depend on a closed-source library ('msvcr90.dll' for MSVC 9.0, |
| 'vcruntime140.dll' for MSVC 14.0, and so on) which is not normally part of |
| a Windows installation. |
| You cannot distribute 'vcruntime*.dll' with the binaries - this would be a |
| violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA. |
| You can distribute the binaries without including 'vcruntime*.dll'. Users |
| who don't have this library on their system will require to pull some files |
| (api-ms-win*.dll) through the Windows Update mechanism, see |
| https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226 . |
| |
| This recipe requires MS Visual C/C++ 9.0 or newer. |
| You don't need the Visual Studio IDE, just the C/C++ tool chain. |
| As of 2016, you can install the MS Visual C/C++ 14.0 tool chain from |
| http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools (it's the file |
| visualcppbuildtools_full.exe). |
| |
| This recipe requires also a Cygwin environment (with 'bash', the common POSIX |
| commands, and 'make') as a build environment. Building with 'nmake' is not |
| supported. |
| For this, you need to install |
| * Cygwin (from https://cygwin.com/), |
| * some packages available from the Cygwin package installer: |
| make |
| |
| You also need the scripts 'ar-lib' and 'compile' from |
| https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/ar-lib;hb=HEAD |
| https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/compile;hb=HEAD |
| respectively. |
| They may also be included in this package, in directory 'build-aux/'. |
| Save them; the instructions below assume that you stored them in $HOME/msvc/. |
| Make them executable: |
| chmod a+x ar-lib compile |
| |
| Start a bash (from Cygwin). |
| |
| Make sure that the MSVC tools ("cl" etc.) are found in PATH and the |
| environment variables INCLUDE and LIB are set appropriately. |
| In a typical MSVC 9.0 installation, it can be achieved by running |
| C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat |
| In a typical MSVC 14.0 installation on Windows 10, it can be achieved |
| - for creating 32-bit binaries: through the following bash commands: |
| |
| # Set environment variables for using MSVC 14, |
| # for creating native 32-bit Windows executables. |
| |
| # Windows C library headers and libraries. |
| WindowsCrtIncludeDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt' |
| WindowsCrtLibDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\' |
| INCLUDE="${WindowsCrtIncludeDir};$INCLUDE" |
| LIB="${WindowsCrtLibDir}x86;$LIB" |
| |
| # Windows API headers and libraries. |
| WindowsSdkIncludeDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\' |
| WindowsSdkLibDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\' |

| LIB="${WindowsSdkLibDir}x86;$LIB" |
| |
| # Visual C++ tools, headers and libraries. |
| VSINSTALLDIR='C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0' |
| VCINSTALLDIR="${VSINSTALLDIR}"'\VC' |
| PATH=`cygpath -u "${VCINSTALLDIR}"`/bin:"$PATH" |
| INCLUDE="${VCINSTALLDIR}"'\include;'"${INCLUDE}" |
| LIB="${VCINSTALLDIR}"'\lib;'"${LIB}" |
| |
| export INCLUDE LIB |
| |
| - for creating 64-bit binaries: through the following bash commands: |
| |
| # Set environment variables for using MSVC 14, |
| # for creating native 64-bit Windows executables. |
| |
| # Windows C library headers and libraries. |
| WindowsCrtIncludeDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt' |
| WindowsCrtLibDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\' |

| 3) Binaries for the Cygwin environment. |
| |
| The generic instructions in the INSTALL file apply. But here are more |
| specific ones. |
| |
| You need to install |
| * Cygwin (from https://cygwin.com/), |
| * some packages available from the Cygwin package installer: |
| make |
| * the Cygwin [cross-]compilation tools package, available from |
| the Cygwin package installer (setup-x86_64.exe): |
| - for creating 32-bit binaries: packages |
| cygwin32-gcc-core, |
| cygwin32 |
| - for creating 64-bit binaries: packages |
| gcc-core |
| |
| Building 32-bit binaries for Cygwin must be done in a directory *outside* |
| the Cygwin /home and /usr hierarchies. It is achieved through the following |
| preparation, configure, and build commands: |
