| 3630 | 1 | How to build Gaim using MinGw |
| 2 | ============================= | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | Set Up Build Environment | |
| 5 | ------------------------ | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | - Install Cygwin bash shell (www.cygwin.com). | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | - Install MinGw v1.1 (http://www.mingw.org) | |
| 10 | Make sure to read the installation instructions. Make sure to set MinGw's | |
| 11 | bin directory in your PATH (in .bash_login), before Cygwin's bin dir | |
| 12 | (so that mingw's build tools are used over cygwin's). | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | Install LIBs, DLLs and headers used by GAIM | |
| 15 | ------------------------------------------- | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | Assuming you have the gaim sources in ~/gaim, you will need to do the | |
| 18 | fowllowing: | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | GTK & GLIB (v 2.0.6 as of writing) | |
| 21 | ---------------------------------- | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | $ mkdir -p ~/win32-dev/gtk_2_0/zips | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Download the following from thw win32 download page at www.gtk.org to the | |
| 26 | zips dir you just created: | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | atk-1.0.3-20020821.zip | |
| 29 | atk-dev-1.0.3-20020821.zip | |
| 30 | gettext-dev-0.10.40-20020904.zip | |
| 31 | glib-2.0.6-20020802.zip | |
| 32 | glib-dev-2.0.6-20020802.zip | |
| 33 | gtk+-2.0.6-20020921.zip | |
| 34 | gtk+-dev-2.0.6-20020921.zip | |
| 35 | libiconv-1.7-w32.bin.zip | |
| 36 | libintl-0.10.40-tml-20020904.zip | |
| 37 | libjpeg-6b-bin.zip | |
| 38 | libpng-1.2.4-1-bin.zip | |
| 39 | pango-1.0.4-20020921.zip | |
| 40 | pango-dev-1.0.4-20020921.zip | |
| 41 | tiff-3.5.7-bin.zip | |
| 42 | zlib-1.1.4-bin.zip | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | $ cd ~/win32-dev/gtk_2_0/zips | |
| 45 | $ unzip -d .. <all zip files> | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | $ cd .. | |
| 48 | $ cp lib/libintl-1.dll ./bin | |
| 49 | $ cd libiconv-1.7-w32.bin | |
| 50 | $ cp iconv.exe ../bin | |
| 51 | $ cp iconv.lib ../lib | |
| 52 | $ cp localcharset.dll ../lib | |
| 53 | $ cp iconv.dll ../lib | |
| 54 | $ cp iconv.dll ../bin | |
| 55 | $ cp iconv.h ../include/ | |
| 56 | $ cp libcharset.h ../include/ | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | NOTE: If you use a more recent versions of any of these packages, you may | |
| 59 | need to move files around so that they can be found when Gaim is built. | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | Perl56 | |
| 62 | ------ | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | Download perl-5.6.1 from www.cpan.org. You can build perl56 yourself if | |
| 65 | you have MS Visual C++, or you can download a win32 binary distribution | |
| 66 | (I tried SiePerl successfully). In either case make sure you do the | |
| 67 | following: | |
| 68 | ||
| 69 | $ mkdir -p ~/win32-dev/perl56 | |
| 70 | ||
| 71 | Copy Perl's "CORE" directory to ~/win32-dev/perl56 as well as "perl56.dll" | |
| 72 | and "perl56.lib". | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | ||
| 75 | Build Gaim | |
| 76 | ---------- | |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | $ cd ~/gaim | |
| 79 | $ make -f Makefile.mingw install | |
| 80 | ||
| 81 | Run Gaim | |
| 82 | -------- | |
| 83 | ||
| 84 | $ cd ~/gaim/win32-install-dir | |
| 85 | $ ./gaim.exe | |
| 86 | ||
| 87 | That's it.. | |
| 88 | ||
| 89 | Note: If you wish to build an install exe of Gaim, then you need to install | |
| 90 | NSIS from http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis/ making sure to place its | |
| 91 | binary dir in your PATH. Then... | |

| 96 | Debugging | |
| 97 | --------- | |
| 98 | ||
| 99 | There is quite a good "Just In Time" debugger for MinGw: | |
