Please do not compile this package (GLib) in paths that contain
|
|
spaces in them-as strange problems may occur during compilation or during
|
|
the use of the library.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the following GNOME Live! page for more detailed
|
|
instructions on building GLib and its dependencies with Visual C++:
|
|
|
|
https://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/Win32/MSVCCompilationOfGTKStack
|
|
|
|
This VS9 solution and the projects it includes are intented to be used
|
|
in a GLib source tree unpacked from a tarball. In a git checkout you
|
|
first need to use some Unix-like environment or run build/win32/setup.py,
|
|
which will do the work for you:
|
|
|
|
$python build/win32/setup.py --perl path_to_your_perl.exe
|
|
|
|
for more usage on this script, run
|
|
$python build/win32/setup.py -h/--help
|
|
|
|
The required dependencies are zlib and proxy-libintl. Fetch the latest
|
|
proxy-libintl-dev and zlib-dev zipfiles from
|
|
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/ for 32-bit
|
|
builds, and correspondingly
|
|
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win64/dependencies/ for 64-bit
|
|
builds.
|
|
|
|
One may wish to build his/her own ZLib-It is recommended that ZLib is
|
|
built using the win32/Makefile.msc makefile with VS9 with the ASM routines
|
|
to avoid linking problems-see win32/Makefile.msc in ZLib for more details.
|
|
|
|
For LibFFI, please get version 3.0.10 or later, as Visual C++ build support
|
|
was added in the 3.0.10 release series. Please see the README file that
|
|
comes with the LibFFI source package for more details on how to build LibFFI
|
|
on Visual C++-please note that the mozilla-build package from Mozilla is needed
|
|
in order to build LibFFI on Windows.
|
|
|
|
One may optionally use his/her own PCRE installation by selecting the
|
|
(BuildType)_ExtPCRE configuration, but please note the PCRE must be built
|
|
with VS9 with unicode support using the /MD (release) or /MDd (debug)
|
|
runtime option which corresponds to your GLib build flavour (release, debug).
|
|
(These are the defaults set by CMAKE, which is used in recent versions of PCRE.)
|
|
Not doing so will most probably result in unexpected crashes in
|
|
your programs due to the use of different CRTs. If using a static PCRE
|
|
build, add PCRE_STATIC to the "preprocessor definitions".
|
|
Note that one may still continue to build with the bundled PCRE by selecting
|
|
the (BuildType) configuration.
|
|
|
|
Set up the source tree as follows under some arbitrary top
|
|
folder <root>:
|
|
|
|
<root>\<this-glib-source-tree>
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>
|
|
|
|
*this* file you are now reading is thus located at
|
|
<root>\<this-glib-source-tree>\build\win32\vs9\README.
|
|
|
|
<PlatformName> is either Win32 or x64, as in VS9 project files.
|
|
|
|
You should unpack the proxy-libintl-dev zip file into
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>, so that for instance libintl.h end up at
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include\libintl.h.
|
|
|
|
For LibFFI, one should also put the generated ffi.h and ffitarget.h
|
|
into <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include\ and the compiled static libffi.lib
|
|
(or copy libffi-convenience.lib into libffi.lib) into
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\lib\.
|
|
|
|
The "install" project will copy build results and headers into their
|
|
appropriate location under <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>. For instance,
|
|
built DLLs go into <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\bin, built LIBs into
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\lib and GLib headers into
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include\glib-2.0. This is then from where
|
|
project files higher in the stack are supposed to look for them, not
|
|
from a specific GLib source tree.
