| - | Links to various Windows build instructions: | + | ====== Windows client builds ====== |
| + | |||
| + | As of Aug 2021, I finally got a stable Windows GTK client build method. I submitted a Powershell script which is reasonably well documented in crossfire-client/gtk-v2/win32/autobuild.ps1 | ||
| + | |||
| + | The script and instructions are specifically for x86_64 builds. Suites like MSYS2 and MinGW are deprecating support for pure 32-bit x86, so producing 32-bit binaries maybe not be feasible moving forward. Regardless, if you can get the MinGW/MSYS2 toolchain working, the powershell script can probably be adapted to work. | ||

| + | |||
| + | ====== My Notes ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | If trying to adapt between 32-bit and 64-bit, the package names may change. A few examples that may help or hurt: | ||
| + | |||
| + | pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gcc | ||
| + | pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-make | ||
| + | pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-pkg-config | ||
| + | pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-vala | ||
| + | pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-SDL_image | ||
| + | pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-SDL_mixer | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | I recommend using perl from MSYS2, rather than a third party Perl. If you want to anyway, a few tips: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <del>Install PERL:</del> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <del>http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html</del> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <del>Download portable 32 bit edition</del> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <del>Extract to C:\perl</del> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <del>Add C:\perl\perl\bin to path.</del> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <del>Note that this can cause some issues, especially if CMake tries to use perl-supplied components instead of those from MSYS/MinGW. But, perl is still needed "for def-keys and msgtypes generation"</del> | ||
| + | |||
| + | <del>If CMake fails near a pkgconfig or gtk/gio item, check to make sure that it hasn’t defaulted the PKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE to a perl directory. If so, revert it to the msys32 one, probably C:\msys32\mingw32\bin\pkg-config.exe</del> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Other misc bits: | ||
| + | <del>Get the glib helper program from C:\msys32\mingw32\bin\gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe, and copy it to release\</del> Not needed since r21700 | ||
