Compilation for Windows |
| 2 |
======================= |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
This quick guide only covers compilation with Dev-C++ for now, which is a |
| 5 |
free (GPL) C++ integrated development environment for Windows. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
You can download Dev-C++ here: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Make sure you install a version with Mingw integrated. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
First you need to install gtk and gtkmm. You can download them from the |
| 14 |
following URL: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net |
| 17 |
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtkmm/2.10/ |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I recommend you to install them to the default destination (which is |
| 20 |
"C:\GTK"), that way you can probably avoid having to reconfigure the |
| 21 |
Dev-C++ project files later on. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Download libsndfile DLL and header files: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/ |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Extract the .zip file i.e. to "C:\". The libsndfile .dll file should then |
| 28 |
be i.e. under "C:\libsndfile-1_0_17". Beside the .dll file, make sure |
| 29 |
libsndfile's .lib file exists in that directory as well. If the .lib file |
| 30 |
does not exist yet, you have to create it with: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
dlltool --input-def libsndfile-1.def --output-lib libsndfile-1.lib |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Download and do the same steps for the libgig DLL and header files: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
http://download.linuxsampler.org/packages/win32/ |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
a) Compile libgigedit.dll |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Open the project file "win32/libgigedit.dev" either directly in Dev-C++ or |
| 41 |
by double clicking on the project file in the Windows explorer. Then you |
| 42 |
have to ensure the settings of libgigedit's Dev-C++ project file are |
| 43 |
pointing to the correct location of your local copy of libsndfile, libgig, |
| 44 |
gtk and gtkmm (remember the recommendation from the beginng?). For that |
| 45 |
click in the Dev-C++ menu on "Project" -> "Project Options". Then click on |
| 46 |
the tab "Parameter" and make sure the paths of the .lib files of libsndfile |
| 47 |
and gigedit in the "Linker" list view are correct. Then click on the tab |
| 48 |
"Directories" and then on the tab "Library Directories" and check that the |
| 49 |
path to GTK's lib directory is corre. Then click on the tab |
| 50 |
"Include Directories" and make sure the paths to the header files of libgig, |
| 51 |
libsndfile, gtk and gtkmm point to the correct locations there as well. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
After that click on the "OK button and you should finally be able to compile |
| 54 |
"libgigedit" by clicking on "Compile" in the Dev-C++ menu. After compilation |
| 55 |
succeeded, you can find the "libgigedit.dll" file in the "win32" directory. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
b) Compile gigedit.exe |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
To be able to succesfully compile this executable, you really have to |
| 60 |
compile the libgigedit.dll (that is the steps described in a) previously). |
| 61 |
Now open the project file "win32/gigedit.dev". Open the project options and |
| 62 |
check the library paths here as well, similar as described in a). After that |
| 63 |
you should be able to compile the executable by clicking on "Compile" in the |
| 64 |
Dev-C++ menu. After compilation succeeded, you can find the "gigedit.exe" |
| 65 |
file in the "win32" directory. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Note: for being able to launch gigedit, you need to adjust your PATH |
| 68 |
environment variable, so it includes the library directories (the ones with |
| 69 |
the .dll files) of libgig, libsndfile, gtk and gtkmm. The previously |
| 70 |
compiled "libgigedit.dll" (don't confuse with "libgig.dll") should be in the |
| 71 |
same directory as "gigedit.exe", which of course is the default when you |
| 72 |
just run them from the "win32" directory. ;) |
