<h3><a name="intro">1. Introduction</a></h3> |
33 |
|
34 |
<p>These are instructions for building libgig, linuxsampler and |
35 |
gigedit on Windows (32 bit) with help of MinGW and MSYS. After the |
36 |
MinGW and MSYS environment and the other prerequisites are installed, |
37 |
the build procedure will be the same as in Linux, that is, basically: |
38 |
./configure ; make ; make install.</p> |
39 |
|
40 |
<p>The versions of the files to download are just the ones I used |
41 |
before writing this text. You can probably use later ones if |
42 |
available.</p> |
43 |
|
44 |
<p>Some of the instructions below are marked with ** and ***:</p> |
45 |
|
46 |
<p>** = only needed if you are going to build from CVS, not if you are |
47 |
using the tar file releases</p> |
48 |
|
49 |
<p>*** = only needed if you are going to build gigedit</p> |
50 |
|
51 |
|
52 |
<h3><a name="mingw">2. MinGW</a></h3> |
53 |
|
54 |
<p>Download the MinGW installer, MinGW-5.1.4.exe, |
55 |
from <a href="http://www.mingw.org">www.mingw.org</a> and run it.</p> |
56 |
|
57 |
|
58 |
<h3><a name="pkg">3. pkg-config and gtkmm</a></h3> |
59 |
|
60 |
<p>The pkg-config tool is needed by the configure script in all the |
61 |
LinuxSampler packages. pkg-config is included in gtkmm, which is |
62 |
needed by gigedit. (If you are not going to build gigedit, you can |
63 |
download just GLib and pkg-config |
64 |
from <a href="http://www.gtk.org">www.gtk.org</a>.)</p> |
65 |
|
66 |
<p>Download the gtkmm windows installer, |
67 |
gtkmm-win32-devel-2.14.3-2.exe, |
68 |
from <a href="http://www.gtkmm.org">www.gtkmm.org</a>, and run it. Let |
69 |
the installer adjust the PATH variable as it wants.</p> |
70 |
|
71 |
|
72 |
<h3><a name="msys">4. MSYS</a></h3> |
73 |
|
74 |
<p>I use the 1.0.11 Technology Preview version, as I had problems |
75 |
building DLLs with the 1.0.10 current version.</p> |
76 |
|
77 |
<p>Download from "MSYS Base System, Technology Preview: MSYS-1.0.11":</p> |
78 |
|
79 |
<pre>msysCORE-1.0.11-20080826.tar.gz |
80 |
bash-3.1-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2</pre> |
81 |
|
82 |
<p>Unpack these to a directory of your choice, for example C:\msys. As |
83 |
1.0.11 doesn't have an installer yet, you need to have an unpacker |
84 |
that supports tar.gz/tar.bz, for example 7-Zip. The rest of the files |
85 |
you can unpack with the tar included in msysCORE.</p> |
86 |
|
87 |
<p>Run the postinstall\pi.bat file and specify your MinGW |
88 |
directory.</p> |
89 |
|
90 |
<p>Download, also from "MSYS Base System, Technology Preview: |
91 |

116 |
|
117 |
|
118 |
<p>Extract all these files to the msys directory, by starting msys, do |
119 |
"cd /" followed by "tar xjf <i>filename</i>" for .tar.bz2 files and |
120 |
"tar xzf <i>filename</i>" for .tar.gz files.</p> |
121 |
|
122 |
|
123 |
<h3><a name="asio">5. ASIO SDK</a></h3> |
124 |
|
125 |
<p>Download asiosdk2.2.zip from Steinberg. Extract it to your msys |
126 |
$HOME.</p> |
127 |
|
128 |
|
129 |
<h3><a name="vst">6. VST SDK</a></h3> |
130 |
|
131 |
<p>If you want to build the LinuxSampler VST plugin, download |
132 |
vst_sdk2_4_rev2.zip from Steinberg (note that you should not choose |
133 |
version 3). Extract it to msys $HOME.</p> |
134 |
|
135 |
|
136 |
<h3><a name="intl">7. intltool ***</a></h3> |
137 |
|
138 |
<p>Download intltool_0.40.4-1_win32.zip from |
139 |
<a href="http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/intltool">http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/intltool</a></p> |
140 |
|
141 |
<p>Unzip this into the msys local directory, (C:\msys\local for |
142 |
example)</p> |
143 |
|
144 |
|
145 |
<h3><a name="perl">8. Perl ***</a></h3> |
146 |
|
147 |
<p>The perl in MSYS is lacking an XML parser which is needed by |
148 |
intltool. Download ActivePerl |
149 |
from <a href="http://www.activestate.com">www.activestate.com</a> and |
150 |
install it.</p> |
151 |
|
152 |
|
153 |
<h3><a name="xslt">9. xsltproc ***</a></h3> |
154 |
|
155 |
<p>The gigedit Makefile wants to build the gigedit quick start |
156 |
documentation, so it needs the xsltproc command. Download from |
157 |
<a href="ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/">ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/</a>:</p> |
158 |
|
159 |
<pre>libxml2-2.7.2+.win32.zip |
160 |
libxslt-1.1.24.win32.zip</pre> |
161 |
|
162 |
<p>Copy the contents of the bin directories from both zip files to a |
163 |
directory of your choice. Add this directory last in your msys PATH, |
164 |
for example:</p> |
165 |
|
166 |
<pre>export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/xsltproc</pre> |
167 |
|
168 |
|
169 |
<h3><a name="setup">10. MSYS setup</a></h3> |
170 |
|
171 |
<p>Add the gtkmm aclocal directory to the list of extra directories |
172 |
used by autoconf. (Make sure the gtkmm path is the one where you |
173 |
installed it. The space in "Program Files" causes problems, so the |
174 |
short file name form is used here):</p> |
175 |
|
176 |
<pre>echo "/c/Progra~1/gtkmm/share/aclocal" >> /usr/local/share/aclocal/dirlist</pre> |
177 |
|
178 |
<p>Add the gtkmm bin directory first in your PATH (the installer has |
179 |
already added gtkmm to the PATH, but it may have used "Program Files" |
180 |
with a space in it, which causes configure to fail):</p> |
181 |
|
182 |
<pre>export PATH=/c/Progra~1/gtkmm/bin:$PATH</pre> |
183 |
|
184 |
<p>Make sure pkg-config will find the LinuxSampler libraries:</p> |
185 |
|
186 |
<pre>export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig</pre> |
187 |
|
188 |
|
189 |
<p>*** The intltool scripts expect perl to be in /opt/perl/bin, so |
190 |
make a link to the ActivePerl installation. Also add ActivePerl to |
191 |
PATH:</p> |
192 |
|
193 |
<pre>mkdir -p /opt/perl/bin |
194 |
ln -s /c/Perl/bin/perl.exe /opt/perl/bin |
195 |
export PATH=/c/Perl/bin:$PATH</pre> |
196 |
|
197 |
|
198 |
<p>*** MSYS gettext and gtkmm both include libintl. We want the gtkmm |
199 |
version. Remove the MSYS files so the gettext configure tools don't |
200 |
choose the wrong version:</p> |
201 |
|
202 |
<pre>rm /usr/local/include/libintl.h /usr/local/lib/libintl*</pre> |
203 |
|
204 |
|
205 |
<p>*** The gettext configure tools also need:</p> |
206 |
|
207 |
<pre>export CPPFLAGS="-I/c/Progra~1/gtkmm/include" |
208 |
export LDFLAGS="-L/c/Progra~1/gtkmm/lib"</pre> |
209 |
|
210 |
|
211 |
<h3><a name="sndfile">11. Building libsndfile</a></h3> |
212 |
|
213 |
<p>The windows precompiled version of libsndfile doesn't include the |
214 |
neccessary pkg-config file, so it's best to build libsndfile |
215 |
yourself. Download libsndfile-1.0.17.tar.gz |
216 |
from <a href="http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/">www.mega-nerd.com</a> and |
217 |
extract it to your $HOME:</p> |
218 |
|
219 |
<pre>cd |
220 |
tar xzf libsndfile-1.0.17.tar.gz</pre> |
221 |
|
222 |
<p>To prevent a compilation error for the test cases, add</p> |
223 |
|
224 |
<pre>#include <stdint.h></pre> |
225 |
|
226 |
<p>to tests/utils.h.</p> |
227 |
|
228 |
<pre>./configure |
229 |
make |
230 |
make install</pre> |

236 |

239 |
