How to build gcompris on Windows
FIXME: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/1999-05/msg00249.html
tells how to associate Gcompris.ico with Gcompris.exe
1: MINGW
===========
* MinGW (www.mingw.org) is the Minimalist GNU for Windows.
Unlike cygwin, apps built with MinGW don't require any middleware
libraries to run. That's why I chose it over cygwin for Gcompris.
* Download the "MinGW" installer exe and install into c:\mingw\ .
* Download the "MSYS" and "MSYS Developer Toolkit" installer exes
and install into c:\msys\ .
* if msvcrt.dll is not in your Windows/System folder, get it
from http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll
or by installing Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher
2: LIBRARY PREREQUISITES
========================
I installed each of the prerequisites in its own directory underneath
c:\msys\1.0\opt\, so that (1) they're easy to blow away piece-by-piece
to upgrade to newer versions, and (2) they show up as /opt/gtk, /opt/libxml,
and so on from msys, which is reasonably clear. If you choose a different
hierarchy make sure to tweak your Makefile.mingw.
WARNING: Library Microsoft mscrt71.dll.
This library is needed only due to python.
Based on microsoft wev site, it is freely redistributable if you get
the free Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326922/fr
This library is not free software.
2.1 GTK
=======
+ gcompris needs gtk to run.
* Install the latest "GTK Runtime Environment"
and "GTK Development Environment" -- *IN THAT ORDER* --
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/
into c:\msys\1.0\opt\gtk
* edit /opt/gtk/bin/glib-gettextize, replace "/target" with "/gtk"
* sanity check: you should now be able to run gtk-demo.exe from msys.
2.2 LIBXML2
===========
+ gcompris needs libxml2 to run.
* Snag a tarball from ftp://xmlsoft.org/ and untar it in your msys home directory.
* ./configure --prefix=/libxml2; make; make install
2.3 OTHER
=========
Look at the NEEDED_DLLS section in the Makefile.mingw and make sure you have all of those.
2.6 PREREQUISITE SUMMARY
========================
Check the file global_win32.mak to know which dependancies must
be provided and where.
3: BUILDING GCOMPRIS.EXE
========================
* On GNU/Linux run make install to install the translations then:
make -f Makefile.mingw svg2png - Until we have svg support on Windows
make -f Makefile.mingw prep - create the win32-install-dir
make -f Makefile.mingw - compilation step
make -f Makefile.mingw prepack - include all necessary libraries in the installer directory
make -f Makefile.mingw install - include the generated code in the installer directory
* Now on the windows system:
make -f Makefile.mingw python - create an embedded python interpreter
* the win32-install-dir contains anything needed to run and package GCompris.
Back to GNU/Linux, create the installer:
make -f Makefile.mingw installer
The installer used is NSIS get it there:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page
The GCompris package is created, double click on it from your file manager
to test it.
