Prerequisites ------------ - Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition - Windows SDK - Python (2.5 <= version < 3) - OpenSSL * OpenSSL is optional - without it the Windows platform crypto will be used * Download and extract the Windows binary version of OpenSSL from http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html - Qt Open Source Edition (optional; not needed for Swiften) Building Qt for Microsoft Visual C++ ------------------------------------ - These steps are optional - the pre-packaged Qt is fine - From the 'Visual C++' 'Programs' group, launch the Visual C++ command prompt - Go to the dir where you installed Qt - Configure Qt: configure - Build Qt: nmake Building Swift -------------- - From the 'Visual C++' 'Programs' group, launch the Visual C++ command prompt - Go to the Swift source dir - Create a file 'config.py' with the following contents, reflecting your local setup: openssl = "path\to\openssl" #optional qt = "path\to\qt" - Run 'scons' - To build only a subdir, add the path as a target to scons. E.g., for Swift: scons Swift Running tests ------------- - Run scons test=unit for running the unit tests, or scons test=all for running all tests. Packaging Swift --------------- For packaging use: - Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008 or Microsoft VS 2013 Express - No OpenSSL - WiX - Download the C++ redistributable package from Microsoft and put it at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules\ - config.py should contain: qt = "c:\\qt\\4.7.4" vcredist = "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Merge Modules\\vcredist_x86.exe" debug = 1 optimize = 1 wix_bindir = "c:\\program files\\Windows Installer XML v3.5\\bin" - run scons dist=1 Notes ----- - The settings debug = 1 and optimize = 1 are strictly required if you use a precompiled Qt release from the Qt Project; otherwise you will get linker errors - On 64-bit Windows it's "Program Files (x86)" instead of "Program Files" in the paths - Currently only 32-bit builds of the Swift client are supported
