MinGW
MinGW is minimalist GNU for Windows.[1]
For general tools, here are some recommendations:
- svn: for commandline svn, try this:
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/44049/Setup-Subversion-1.5.3.msi
for windows explorer integrated, try this:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/tortoisesvn/TortoiseSVN-1.5.5.14361-win32-svn-1.5.4.msi?download
- text editing: use an editor that handles unix line endings and preserves them. Examples include notepad++, vim (included in msys), and emacs.
Setting up MinGW
A tutorial for how to set up a MinGW build environment.
- Install MinGW base system only
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=240780
- Install MSYS (Be sure to grab the current release installer, not the tech preview.)
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=24963
- Install msysDTK directly over msys (direct link to file)
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe?modtime=1041430674&big_mirror=1
- Install m4-1.4.7-MSYS into your msys /bin
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2?modtime=1162303978&big_mirror=1
- Install strawberry perl in default location
http://strawberryperl.com/
- Set the environment variable INTLTOOL_PERL=/path/to/strawberry/bin/perl by adding the following line to c:\msys\1.0\etc\profile:
export INTLTOOL_PERL=/c/strawberry/perl/bin/perl
Setting up Utilities
For all following instructions, when you run configure do it with --prefix=/mingw
- install gnome versions of utilities (direct links below)
- create a directory c:\msys\1.0\dev
- add this line to your profile
export PATH=$PATH:/dev/bin:/c/mingw/bin
- unpack everything there
- you need these utilities at this point:
- all these are from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/
pkg-config: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/pkg-config-0.23-2.zip gettext: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-0.14.5.zip gettext-dev: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-dev-0.14.5.zip gettext-runtime: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-runtime-0.17.zip gettext-runtime-dev: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/gettext-runtime-dev-0.17.zip
- add this line to your profile
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/dev/lib/pkgconfig
- upgrade autoconf to 2.63 from source
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/
- upgrade automake to 1.9 from source
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/
Compiling Sword
- install libcurl
http://curl.haxx.se/download.html (direct linke) http://www.gknw.net/mirror/curl/win32/curl-7.19.0-devel-mingw32.zip find curl-config script from linux and copy it to /mingw/bin
- compile sword-1.5.11 from source
use libcurl, not ftplib you will have to manually alter makefile to link against regex (do this in sword-1.5.11/lib/Makefile, line "#am__objects_3 = regex.lo", take out "#") compiling utilities is broken with mingw you do not need to compile with icu
Download Gnome Libraries
- download lots of gnome libs and unpack them in dev
for everything, you need the normal and developer package atk: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/atk/1.24/atk_1.24.0-1_win32.zip atk-dev:

- setup xml2po
install python 2.5 ensure that python is on your path (windows environment variable) edit /dev/bin/xml2po shebang line to just say #! python install python libxml2 from here http://users.skynet.be/sbi/libxml-python/
- install iconv
You will need this version of iconv http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libiconv.htm.
- install gnome-icon-theme
You may need to rename share/icons/gnome/ to share/icons/hicolor. This theme is required by the studypad
Compile Gnomesword
- download gnomesword 2.4.1
- alter configure script to allow compilation without scrollkeeper
- update gnomesword to latest 2.4.x svn
- run configure with --enable-gtkhtml --disable-scrollkeeper --prefix=/mingw
- make
you will have to alter the makefile in libs to link against libcurl.dll (-lcurl doesn't work)
- make install
- run gnomesword
- getting gnomesword free from mingw is another topic.
- Windows XP look
To get the windows XP look, go to /dev/share/themes/MS-Windows/gtk-2.0 copy gtkrc to /dev/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
