- Windows port |
- ------------ |
- |
-This directory contains the files required to build this software on the |
-native Windows platform. |
- |
-As a rule of thumb, the root of this directory contains files needed |
-to build the library using the command-line tools, while various |
-subdirectories contain project files for various IDEs. |
- |
- |
- 1. Building from the command-line |
- ================================= |
- |
-This is the easiest, preferred and currently supported method. |
- |
-In order to build from the command-line you need to make sure that |
-your compiler works from the command line. This is not always the |
-case, often the required environment variables are missing. If you are |
-not sure, test if this works first. If it doesn't, you will first have |
-to configure your compiler suite to run from the command-line - please |
-refer to your compiler's documentation regarding that. |
- |
-The first thing you want to do is configure the source. You can have |
-the configuration script do this automatically for you. The |
-configuration script is written in JScript, a Microsoft's |
-implementation of the ECMA scripting language. Almost every Windows |
-machine can execute this through the Windows Scripting Host. If your |
-system lacks the ability to execute JScript for some reason, you must |
-perform the configuration manually. |
- |
-The second step is compiling the source and, optionally, installing it |
-to the location of your choosing. |
- |
- |
- 1.1 Configuring the source automatically |
- ---------------------------------------- |
- |
-The configuration script accepts numerous options. Some of these |
-affect features which will be available in the compiled software, |
-others affect the way the software is built and installed. To see a |
-full list of options supported by the configuration script, run |
- |
- cscript configure.js help |
- |
-from the win32 subdirectory. The configuration script will present you |
-the options it accepts and give a biref explanation of these. In every |
-case you will have two sets of options. The first set is specific to |
-the software you are building and the second one is specific to the |
-Windows port. |
- |
-Once you have decided which options suit you, run the script with that |
-options. Here is an example: |
- |
- cscript configure.js prefix=c:\opt include=c:\opt\include |
- lib=c:\opt\lib debug=yes |
- |
-The previous example will configure the process to install the library |
-in c:\opt, use c:\opt\include and c:\opt\lib as additional search |
-paths for the compiler and the linker and build executables with debug |
-symbols. |
- |
-Note: Please do not use path names which contain spaces. This will |
-fail. Allowing this would require me to put almost everything in the |
-Makefile in quotas and that looks quite ugly with my |
-syntax-highlighting engine. If you absolutely must use spaces in paths |
-send me an email and tell me why. If there are enough of you out there |
-who need this, or if a single one has a very good reason, I will |
-modify the Makefile to allow spaces in paths. |
- |
- |
- 1.2 (Not) Configuring the source manually |
- ----------------------------------------- |
- |
-The manual configuration is pretty straightforward, but I would |
-suggest rather to get a JScript engine and let the configure script do |
-it for you. This process involves editing the apropriate Makefile to |
-suit your needs, as well as manually generating certain *.h files from |
-their *.h.in sources. |
- |
-If you really have no idea what I am talking about and ask yourself |
-what in Gods name do I mean with '*.h files and their *.h.in sources', |
-then you really should do an automatic configuration. Which files must |
-be generated and what needs to be done with their sources in order to |
-generate them is something people who have built this software before |
-allready know. You will not find any explanations for that |
-here. Please configure the source manually only if you allready know |
-what you must do. Otherwise, you have the choice of either getting a |
-precompiled binary distribution, or performing the automatic |
-configuration. |
- |
- |
- 1.3 Compiling |
- ------------- |
- |
-After the configuration stage has been completed, you want to build |
-the software. You will have to use the make tool which comes with |
-your compiler. If you, for example, configured the source to build |
-with Microsoft's MSVC compiler, you would use the NMAKE utility. If |
-ýou configured it to build with GNU C compiler, mingw edition, you |
-would use the GNU make. Assuming you use MSVC, type |
- |
- nmake |
- |
-in the win32 subdirectory.When the building completes, you will find |
-the executable files in win32\binaries directory. |
- |
-You can install the software into the directory you specified to the |
-configure script during the configure stage by typing |
- |
- nmake install |
- |
-That would be it, enjoy. |
- |
- |
- 2. Building with the IDE |
- ======================== |
- |
-Each supported IDE has its project files placed in a subdirectory of |
-win32. If you use a particular IDE, you should be able to |
-instinctively recognise its project files. When you have found your |
-favourites, load them into the IDE and do whatever you would do with |
-any other project files. If you are a novice and puzzled about how to |
-use particular project files with a particular IDE, check for a readme |
-file in that IDEs subdirectory. I won't discuss any particular IDE |
-here, because I would like to keep this document as general as |
-possible, and there is also a chance that support exists for IDEs |
-which I have never seen. |
