New page

A whiteboard for me to work out a more complete & explicit set of instructions for building GnomeSword in MinGW

==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 required libraries==

For all following instructions, when you run configure do it with --prefix=/mingw

* install gnome versions of utilities
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/dependencies/
: create a directory c:\msys\1.0\dev
: add it to your path (in profile)
: unpack everything there
: you need at this point:
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/
* 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
with libcurl is easier than ftplib
you will have to manually alter makefile to link against regex
* download gnomesword 2.4.1
* download lots of gnome libs and unpack them in dev
for everything, you need the normal and developer package
atk, cairo, fontconfig, freetype, gail, gconf, glib, gnome-common, gnome-doc-utils, gnome-vfs,
goocanvas, gtk+, gtkhtml-3.18, intltool, libart, libbonobo, libbonoboui, libbzip, libffi,
libglade, libgnome, libgnomecanvas, libgnome, libgnomeprint, libgnomeprintui, libgnomeui,
libiconv, libIDL, libpng, libxml2, ORBIT, popt, pthreads, zlib, pango
For these 2, you only need the binaries:
expat, gnurx

* alter configure script to allow compilation without scrollkeeper
* apply linux/windows diff
hopefully most will be unnecessary soon
mailed to gnomesword-developers
* 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
