32 <h3><a name="intro">1.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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 MSYS-1.0.11":</p>
92
93 <pre>gawk-3.1.5-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2 **</pre>
94
95 <p>Download from "MSYS Supplementary Tools, Technology Preview: Tools for
96 MSYS-1.0.11":</p>
97
98 <pre>autoconf2.5-2.61-1-bin.tar.bz2 **
99 autoconf-4-1-bin.tar.bz2 **
100 automake1.10-1.10-1-bin.tar.bz2 **
101 automake-3-1-bin.tar.bz2 **
102 bison-2.3-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2 **
103 crypt-1.1-1-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2 **
104 cvs-1.11.22-MSYS-1.0.11-1-bin.tar.gz **
105 gettext-0.16.1-1-bin.tar.bz2 ***
106 gettext-0.16.1-1-dll.tar.bz2 ***
107 libiconv-1.11-1-bin.tar.bz2 ***
108 libiconv-1.11-1-dll.tar.bz2 ***
109 libtool1.5-1.5.25a-1-bin.tar.bz2
110 perl-5.6.1-MSYS-1.0.11-1.tar.bz2 ***</pre>
111
112 <p>Download from "MSYS Supplementary Tools, Current Release:
113 msysDTK-1.0.1":</p>
114
115 <pre>m4-1.4.7-MSYS.tar.bz2 **</pre>
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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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 $HOME.</p>
134
135
136 <h3><a name="intl">7.&nbsp; intltool ***</a></h3>
137
138 <p>Download intltool_0.40.4-1_win32.zip from
139 <a href="http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/intltool">http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/intltool</a></p>
140
141 <p>Unzip this into the msys local directory, (C:\msys\local for
142 example)</p>
143
144
145 <h3><a name="perl">8.&nbsp; Perl ***</a></h3>
146
147 <p>The perl in MSYS is lacking an XML parser which is needed by
148 intltool. Download ActivePerl
149 from <a href="http://www.activestate.com">www.activestate.com</a> and
150 install it.</p>
151
152
153 <h3><a name="xslt">9.&nbsp; xsltproc ***</a></h3>
154
155 <p>The gigedit Makefile wants to build the gigedit quick start
156 documentation, so it needs the xsltproc command. Download from
157 <a href="ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/">ftp://ftp.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/</a>:</p>
158
159 <pre>libxml2-2.7.2+.win32.zip
160 libxslt-1.1.24.win32.zip</pre>
161
162 <p>Copy the contents of the bin directories from both zip files to a
163 directory of your choice. Add this directory last in your msys PATH,
164 for example:</p>
165
166 <pre>export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/xsltproc</pre>
167
168
169 <h3><a name="setup">10.&nbsp; MSYS setup</a></h3>
170
171 <p>Add the gtkmm aclocal directory to the list of extra directories
172 used by autoconf. (Make sure the gtkmm path is the one where you
173 installed it. The space in "Program Files" causes problems, so the
174 short file name form is used here):</p>
175
176 <pre>echo "/c/Progra~1/gtkmm/share/aclocal" >> /usr/local/share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>
177
178 <p>Add the gtkmm bin directory first in your PATH (the installer has
179 already added gtkmm to the PATH, but it may have used "Program Files"
180 with a space in it, which causes configure to fail):</p>
181
182 <pre>export PATH=/c/Progra~1/gtkmm/bin:$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.&nbsp; 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 $HOME:</p>
218
219 <pre>cd
220 tar xzf libsndfile-1.0.17.tar.gz</pre>
221
222 <p>To prevent a compilation error for the test cases, add</p>
223
224 <pre>#include &lt;stdint.h></pre>
225
226 <p>to tests/utils.h.</p>
227
228 <pre>./configure
229 make
230 make install</pre>
231
232
233 <h3><a name="gig">12.&nbsp; Building libgig</a></h3>
234
235 <p>Just use the same commands as you would in linux:</p>
236
237 <pre>make -f Makefile.cvs (if you build from CVS)
238 ./configure (add any configuration parameters as you wish)
239 make
240 make install</pre>
241
242
243 <h3><a name="ls">13.&nbsp; Building linuxsampler</a></h3>
244
245 <pre>make -f Makefile.cvs (if you build from CVS)
246 ./configure --enable-asiosdk-dir=$HOME --enable-vstsdk-dir=$HOME/vstsdk2.4
247 make
248 make install</pre>
249
250
251 <h3><a name="gigedit">14.&nbsp; Building gigedit</a></h3>
252
253 <pre>make -f Makefile.cvs (if you build from CVS)
254 ./configure
255 make
256 make install</pre>
