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\ .
* Copy the .profile file from the bottom of this document into
c:\msys\1.0\home\yourname\.profile .
* 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 .profile.
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 "/opt/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=/opt/libxml2; make; make install
* edit /opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig/libxml-2.0.pc:
Add " -lws2_32 " to the end of the "Libs:" line.
* Sanity check: "$ pkg-config --cflags libxml-2.0" should give meaningful output now.
* Sanity check: "$ pkg-config --libs libxml-2.0" should also work, and include -lws2_32
2.6 PREREQUISITE SUMMARY
========================
* At this point, you must have the following subdirectories:
+ /opt/gtk
+ /opt/libxml2
* And, if you plan on building from CVS, you'll also need:
+ /opt/gnome-common
3: BUILDING GCOMPRIS.EXE
========================
* Get a tarball or CVS snapshot of gcompris.
* run make -f Makefile.mingw from gcompris's top-level directory. This will take a long time.
* copy an installed GCompris boards directory in win32-install-dir
/usr/local/share/gcompris/boards in win32-install-dir/share/gcompris/boards
/usr/local/share/assetml in win32-install-dir/share/assetml
/usr/local/share/locale in win32-install-dir/share/locale
/usr/local/share/pixmaps in win32-install-dir/share/pixmaps
Cleanup to have only GCompris specific file.
* *drum roll...* make!
* edit the Makefile.mingw manualy to add includes and library dependancies when missing
* run ./gcompris.exe
