2 Building XZ Utils on Windows
3 ============================
4
5 Introduction
6 ------------
7
8 This document explains shortly where to get and how to install the
9 build tool that are needed to build XZ Utils on Windows. The final
10 binary package will be standalone in sense that it will depend only
11 on DLLs that are included in all Windows installations.
12
13 These instructions don't apply to Cygwin. XZ Utils can be built under
14 Cygwin in the same way as many other packages.
15
16 These instructions don't apply to MinGW and MSYS developers either,
17 who may want to package XZ Utils for MinGW or MSYS distributions.
18 You know who you are, and will probably use quite different configure
19 options etc. than what is described here.
20
21
22 Installing the toolchain(s)
23 ---------------------------
24
25 Some of the following is needed:
26 - MSYS is always needed to use the GNU Autotools based build system.
27 - MinGW builds 32-bit x86 binaries.
28 - MingW-w32 builds 32-bit x86 executables too.
29 - MinGW-w64 builds 64-bit x86-64 binaries.
30
31 So you need to pick between MinGW and MinGW-w32 when building
32 32-bit version. You don't need both.
33
34 You might find 7-Zip <http://7-zip.org/> handy when extracting
35 some files (especially the .tar.lzma files). The ready-made
36 build script will also use 7-Zip to create the distributable
37 .zip and .7z files.
38
39 I used the following directory structure but you can use whatever
40 you want. Just note that I will use these in my examples. Each of
41 these should have a subdirectory "bin":
42
43 C:\devel\tools\msys
44 C:\devel\tools\mingw
45 C:\devel\tools\mingw-w32
46 C:\devel\tools\mingw-w64
47
48
49 Installing MSYS
50
51 You can download MSYS from MinGW's Sourceforge page:
52
53 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
54
55 It's under "MSYS Base System". I recommend using MSYS 1.0.11
56 (MSYS-1.0.11.exe or msysCORE-1.0.11-bin.tar.gz) because that
57 package includes all the required tools. At least some of the
58 later versions include only a subset and thus you would need to
59 download the rest separately. The old version will work fine for
60 building XZ Utils.
61
62 You can use either the .exe or .tar.gz package. I prefer .tar.gz,
63 because it can be extracted into any directory and later removed
64 without worrying about uninstallers.
65
66
67 Installing MinGW
68
69 You can download the required packages from MinGW's Sourceforge page:
70
71 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/
72
73 These version numbers were the latest when I wrote this document, but
74 you probably should pick the latest versions:
75
76 MinGW Runtime -> mingwrt-3.17-mingw32-dev.tar.gz
77 MinGW API for MS-Windows -> w32api-3.14-mingw32-dev.tar.gz
78 GNU Binutils -> binutils-2.20-1-bin.tar.gz
79 GCC Version 4 -> gcc-full-4.4.0-mingw32-bin-2.tar.lzma
80
81 The full GCC package is quite big, but if you want a smaller
82 download, you will need to download more than one file, so I'm
83 using the full package in this document for simplicity.
84
85 Extract the packages in the above order, possibly overwriting files
86 from packages that were extracted earlier.
87
88
89 Installing MinGW-w32 or MinGW-w64
90
91 You can find the latest MinGW-w32 and MinGW-w64 builds here:
92
93 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/
94
95 Locate the appropriate files:
96
97 Toolchains targeting Win32 -> mingw-w32-*-mingw*.zip
98 Toolchains targeting Win64 -> mingw-w64-*-mingw*.zip
99
100 I don't know what is the most recommended one. I used sezero's
101 versions from "Personal Builds", since they seemed to have
102 a stable GCC (judging from the GCC version number only).
103
104 If you will install both MinGW-w32 and MinGW-w64, remember to
105 extract them into different directories.
106
107
108 Building XZ Utils
109 -----------------
110
111 Start MSYS by going to the directory C:\devel\tools\msys and running
112 msys.bat there (double-click or use command prompt). It will start
113 at "home" directory, which is C:\devel\tools\msys\home\YourUserName.
114
115 If you have xz-5.x.x.tar.gz in C:\devel, you should be able to build
116 it now with the following commands:
117
118 cd /c/devel
119 tar xzf xz-5.x.x.tar.gz
120 cd xz-5.x.x
121 sh windows/build.sh
122
123 If you used some other directory than C:\devel\tools for the build
124 tools, edit the variables near the beginning of build.sh first.
125
126 If you want to build manually, read the buildit() function in
127 build.sh. Look especially at the latter configure invocation.
128
129 Be patient. Running configure and other scripts used by the build
130 system is (very) slow under Windows.
