INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPILING ON MS WINDOWS |
|---|
| 2 |
======================================== |
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 |
This guide details how to setup a build environment using the Microsoft Free |
|---|
| 5 |
Tools and wxWidgets for Windows. Other build environment will require slightly |
|---|
| 6 |
different setups, but most of the details should be fairly easy to adjust to |
|---|
| 7 |
your own environment. |
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 |
Setting up the build environment |
|---|
| 10 |
================================ |
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 |
Download the following software (free) |
|---|
| 13 |
* Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition (MSVC) |
|---|
| 14 |
* wxWidgets >= 2.8.7 |
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 |
The total size of the required installations sources is >500MB |
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 |
* Install MSVC. |
|---|
| 19 |
* Install wxWidgets. |
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 |
Installation of the required software will require >1GB of disk space. |
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 |
The rest of the documentation assumes that you installed everything into the |
|---|
| 24 |
default locations. So you may need to alter paths etc. |
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 |
Aggressive wxWidgets stripping |
|---|
| 27 |
============================== |
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 |
If you wish to build an aggressively stripped minimal version of the wxWidgets |
|---|
| 30 |
library capable of linking against FahMon and reducing the final executable size |
|---|
| 31 |
by several hundred kb, then copy the "resources\setup_aggressive.h" file to |
|---|
| 32 |
C:\wxMSW-2.8.x\include\wx\msw\setup.h before continuing. This is not guaranteed |
|---|
| 33 |
to work from SVN as this file is not updated regularly against the FahMon |
|---|
| 34 |
sources. |
|---|
| 35 |
|
|---|
| 36 |
Compiling wxWidgets |
|---|
| 37 |
=================== |
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 |
* Navigate to c:\wxwidgets-2.8.x\build\msw and open wx.dsw. |
|---|
| 40 |
* When prompted to open and convert the files, click "yes to all". |
|---|
| 41 |
* Change the build type to "Unicode Release" by default this is set to "Debug". |
|---|
| 42 |
This can be altered by selecting the option from the drop-down list between |
|---|
| 43 |
the compile button (green arrow) and the platform type (which should say |
|---|
| 44 |
"Win32"). |
|---|
| 45 |
* In the "Solution explorer" select all the wx subprojects. There are 20 of |
|---|
| 46 |
them. |
|---|
| 47 |
* Right click on the selected projects and select properties. |
|---|
| 48 |
* On the properties dialog and go to "Configuration Properties->C/C++->Code |
|---|
| 49 |
Generation." |
|---|
| 50 |
* Change the value of "Runtime Library" to "Multi-threaded (/MT)" |
|---|
| 51 |
* Close the properties dialog (with OK) |
|---|
| 52 |
* Go to the Build menu and hit "Build solution" |
|---|
| 53 |
* Make a snack, this will take a while |
|---|
| 54 |
* When the compiling has finished, you should see a line that reads |
|---|
| 55 |
"Build: 20 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped" |
|---|
| 56 |
* You have now sucessfully set up your FahMon build environment! Note: if you |
|---|
| 57 |
need to make any changes to wxWidgets, just open wx.sln (not wx.dsw) and |
|---|
| 58 |
recompile. |
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 |
Compiling libcurl |
|---|
| 61 |
================= |
|---|
| 62 |
|
|---|
| 63 |
* Open wxcurl\win32_libcurl\curl.sln |
|---|
| 64 |
* Make sure the build type is set to "DLL Release" |
|---|
| 65 |
* Go to the build menu and hit "Build Solution" |
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 |
Configuring FahMon |
|---|
| 69 |
================ |
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 |
* If you having installed wxwidgets 2.8.11 to c:\wxwidgets-2.8.11 you do not |
|---|
| 72 |
need to configure FahMon further. |
|---|
| 73 |
* Open fahmon.sln |
|---|
| 74 |
* Change build type to "Release" |
|---|
| 75 |
* For fahmon and wxcurl, Right click and go to properties. |
|---|
| 76 |
* Goto "Configuration properties->VCC++ Directories" |
|---|
| 77 |
* Select "Include Directories" |
|---|
| 78 |
* Add the following directories to the list: |
|---|
| 79 |
"c:\wxMSW-2.8.x\include" |
|---|
| 80 |
"c:\wxMSW-2.8.x\include\msvc" |
|---|
| 81 |
* Select "Library Directories" |
|---|
| 82 |
* Add the following directories to the list: |
|---|
| 83 |
"c:\wxSW-2.8.x\lib\vc_lib" |
|---|
| 84 |
* Close the options dialog (with OK). |
|---|
| 85 |
|
|---|
| 86 |
Compiling FahMon |
|---|
| 87 |
================ |
|---|
| 88 |
|
|---|
| 89 |
* Open fahmon.sln |
|---|
| 90 |
* Change the build type to "Release" |
|---|
| 91 |
* Go to the Build menu and hit "Build Solution" |
|---|
| 92 |
* When the compiling has finished, you should see a line that reads: |
|---|
| 93 |
"Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped" |
|---|
| 94 |
* If this is the case, FahMon has compiled successfully and you can find your |
|---|
| 95 |
new fahmon.exe inside the "Release" folder |
|---|
| 96 |
* To clean up the "Release" folder and organise the translations run |
|---|
| 97 |
"gen_msw.bat" |
|---|
