Note that all this is rather experimental.

|
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 manual work to expand
|
|
the .in files needed, mainly config.h.win32.in into config.h.win32 and
|
|
glibconfig.h.win32.in into glibconfig.h.win32. You will also need to
|
|
expand the .vcprojin files here into .vcproj files.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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>\glib\<this-glib-source-tree>
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>
|
|
|
|
*this* file you are now reading is thus located at
|
|
<root>\glib\<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.
|
|
|
|
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.
