| 1 | Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP, Win95/98/ME): |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | - Requires MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0. |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 should not be distributed: They |
|---|
| 6 | depend on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part |
|---|
| 7 | of a Woe32 installation. You cannot distribute 'msvcr70.dll' with the |
|---|
| 8 | binaries - this would be a violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA. |
|---|
| 9 | You can distribute the binaries without including 'msvcr70.dll', but this |
|---|
| 10 | will cause problems for users that don't have this library on their system. |
|---|
| 11 | Therefore it is not recommended. This problem does not occur with MSVC 6.0 |
|---|
| 12 | and earlier. |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | - Cannot build in a separate directory. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | - Build instructions: |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | Make sure that the MSVC4.0 or MSVC5.0 or MSVC6.0 or MSVC7.0 utilities |
|---|
| 19 | ("cl" etc.) are found in PATH. In a typical MSVC6.0 installation, this |
|---|
| 20 | can be achieved by running |
|---|
| 21 | C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat |
|---|
| 22 | In a typical MSVC7.0 installation, it can be achieved by running |
|---|
| 23 | C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | Decide which compilation model you will use: |
|---|
| 26 | MFLAGS=-ML (the default) Single-threaded, statically linked - libc.lib |
|---|
| 27 | MFLAGS=-MT Multi-threaded, statically linked - libcmt.lib |
|---|
| 28 | MFLAGS=-MD Multi-threaded, dynamically linked - msvcrt.lib |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | You need GNU libiconv (version 1.9 or newer) installed under c:\usr. If |
|---|
| 31 | you haven't yet, build and install GNU libiconv (version 1.9 or newer) |
|---|
| 32 | using the same MFLAGS. Then come back to here, to build GNU gettext. |
|---|
| 33 | |
|---|
| 34 | For shared library (DLL): |
|---|
| 35 | |
|---|
| 36 | nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | For static library: |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | If you want to build both the shared and static library, you have to |
|---|
| 43 | unpack the gettext sources twice in different directories. Don't mix |
|---|
| 44 | the two formats; you cannot use the libintl.h generated for the static |
|---|
| 45 | library together with the shared library or vice versa. |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | Install it: |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install |
|---|
| 50 | or |
|---|
| 51 | nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD install |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | - Installation: |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | Complete and automatic installation: |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory |
|---|
| 58 | or |
|---|
| 59 | nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory |
|---|
| 60 | |
|---|
| 61 | By default, the compiled package is installed under c:\usr. You can |
|---|
| 62 | specify a different directory by giving the installation base directory |
|---|
| 63 | in a PREFIX=... option in the install step. (DON'T give the PREFIX |
|---|
| 64 | already in the build step! This won't work.) You can also omit the |
|---|
| 65 | PREFIX=... option, thus installing everything under c:\usr, and then |
|---|
| 66 | move the installed package as a whole from c:\usr to a different |
|---|
| 67 | location. |
