-@ Prologue
-
-This is meant to be a simple guide to KVIrc compiling under Windows ambiency, so
-that everyone who's willing to try to compile the latest version of this cross platform
-client can easily do without the need for the latest snapshot/development to be
-released.
-
-@ Ingredients
-
-1) CVS version of KVIrc
-2) Visual C++ 2005 Express
-3) SDK package from Microsoft
-4) Perl.
-5) gettext for Windows
-6) Innosetup or NSIS
-7) Non Commercial QT 3.2.1
-8) OpenSSL
-9) zlib for Win32
-
-@ Providing ingredients
-
-So, let's see where to find the necessary ingredients to bake up our freshy KVIrc.
-
--1) CVS version of KVIrc
-
-To get this out you will need a CVS client for Windows, then type the following
-command:
-
-cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.kvirc.net:/cvs co kvirccvs
-
-
-And just in case you can find instructions here:
-Link: http://www.kvirc.net/?id=cvs
-A suggestion for a tiny and free CVS is Tortoise CVS.
-Link: http://www.tortoisecvs.org/
-
--2) Visual C++ 2005 Express
-
-This compiler is free (at least for the moment), you will only need to register in order to
-get it and use it for free, use it!
-Link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/
-
--3) SDK package from Microsoft
-
-This one too is for free, then download and install it!
-Link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en
-
--4) Perl
-Perl is needed to create documentation and make perl module works, you can
-download it from here:
-Link: http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/?
-
--5) gettext for Windows
-Download and install it, it's needed to create languages localization files:
-Link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gettext
-Note: be sure to install gettext in this directory C:\Program Files\GnuWin32 so that all the
-executables are located in C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin otherwise you'll be forced to
-change something in the file needed to create the setup ambiency.
-
--6) Innosetup
-
-Another free program, required to create the final setup.
-Link: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
-If you are using NSIS you can have your copy here:
-Link: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download
-
--7) Non Commercial QT 3.2.1
-
-That's probably the most difficult thing to acquire; you can try find a book on QT that
-has it enclosed (the non commercial one) or you'll have to figure out how to find it out.
-You can buy a commercial version too, 3.x.x higher than 3.2.1.
-
-Book: C++ GUI Programming with QT 3
-Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0131240722/102-11831924381702?v=glance&n=283155
-If you are pretty acknowledged with compiling you can try these instructions:
-Link: http://qtwin.sourceforge.net/qt3-win32/compile-msvc-2005.php
-Even if this last choice's a bit nasty to make out working =)
-You still can find some precompiled version of this free stand (found on the same site of
-qtwin even if a bit older) but beware: choosing this last chance will make KVIrc XP
-themes not supported.
-By using a different version of QT you'll need to modify every KVIrc project adapting
-the qt.xxxx.dll and headers and libraries paths.
-For example, assuming you have installed commercial QT 3.3.4 you'll have to modify
-the projects this way:
-a) selecting Properties of each project then ->Linker and ->Input
-b) store the right library in the qt-mtnc321.lib matching the installed version
-requirements, ie qt-3.3.4.lib. To know the exact name of your .lib file to be linked just go
-to the directory where you did installed QT, in the subfolder /lib (like C:\Qt\3.3.4\lib)
-
--8) OpenSSL
-That is needed in order to compile SSL support for KVIrc, you can have libraries and
-everything else from here:
-Link: http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
-
--9) zlib for win32
-
-To give KVIrc the ability to save log files in compressed format that's what you need.
-Link: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zlib.htm
-
-That's the main page, but you will need the developers files:
-Link: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downloadlinks/zlib-lib-zip.php
-Extract them in any folder you may like, my own suggestion is folder C:\lib for your
-convenience; directory tree will be as follows:
-
-C:(dir)
-|__zlib(dir)
-|__include(dir)
-| |__zconf.h
-| |__zlib.h
-|__lib(dir)
-|__zlib.lib
-|__zlib.exp
-
-Remember where did you have this folder extract because you will have to setup paths
-of the include files (the .h files) and of the libraries (the .lib files) in ambiency variables
-of your operating system.
-
-@ Setting up the ambiency
-
-Install in the following order (theoretically it is not necessary a given order but this
-“recipe” is fully oriented to non expert users):
-1-Visual C++ 2005 Express
-2-SDK ; once you have installed it take the folders Lib, Include and Bin (you will find
-them all in the SDK given path – generally in folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform
-SDK) and copy them in the folder \SDK\v2.0 that is under the installation path of Visual
-C++ (generally in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0).
-Attention: when copying these files you'll be prompted to overwrite one or more files;
-just answer NO.
-3-QT 3.x.x ; during the installation you'll be prompted to record ambiency variables:
-answer YES.
-4-OpenSSL ; during the installation you'll be prompted to record ambiency variables:
-answer YES.
-5-Perl ; during the installation you'll be prompted to record ambiency variables:
-answer YES.
-6-gettext
-7-Innosetup or NSIS or both =) (Freedom is the power to choose ;))
-8-zlib ; if you did download the install&compile package; otherwise just unpack
-and/or extract the ready-to-use pakage wherever you may like (generally in folder C:\).
-
-@ Setting ambiency variables
-
-Now we need to set up every variable of this ambiency, needed in order the compiler
-will be able to find every library from which KVIrc depends.
-Right-button on Resources then Properties -> Advanced -> Ambient Variables and this will
-engage all QT system variables (TQTDIR) set; if that doesn't match you will need to
-reinstall QT and remember to answer YES once you're prompted for setting all ambiency
-variables, otherwise you will need to set them manually – that parts from this tutorial.
-
-In the section dedicated to variables of the actual user add (if you don't have it yet) the
-following and then give the right paths that are on your own machine (hereby are my
-own paths):
-
-Variable:
-
-PERLDIR
-Value:
-C:\perl
-Meaning:
-Directory that stores Perl
-
-Variable:
-ZLIBLIBDIR
-Value:
-C:\zlib\lib
-Meaning:
-Directory that stores file .lib of zlib installed library, the file name must be zlib.lib
-
-Variable:
-OPENSSL
-Value:
-C:\OpenSLL
-Meaning:
-Installation folder of OpenSSL
-
-Variable:
-SSLINCDIR
-Value:
-C:\OpenSSL\include
-Meaning:
-Directory that stores OpenSSL .h files
-
-Variable:
-SSLLIBDIR
-Value:
-C:\OpenSSL\lib\VC
-Meaning:
-OpenSSL .lib files storage
-
-Variable:
-MSGFMT
-Value:
-C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\msgfmt.exe
-Meaning:
-msgfmt executable path
-
-After you've added all the variables with their own values you need to reboot.
-
-@ Compiling
-
-Go to folder kvirccvs\kvirc and open the file kvirc_vc05.sln then -for the less
-experienced-select Build -> Configure Manager -> Release and run the compiling with
-Build ->Build Solution.
-You'll need to wait a little before the building ends, mostly that's up to your processor
-(on a P3 800MHz it takes about 40/45 minutes, on a P4 3000 just 10/15 minutes).
-Now.. pray everything is going to get the right place and no unexpected to happen; but
-in case you do have troubles here are 3 different solutions:
-
-a) read this tutorial once more, hoping you missed some points;
-b) try to find out where the problem is;
-c) step to Azzurranet on channel #kvirc.net and ask for Grifisx or Noldor or Pragma.
-
-@ Creating ambiency for setup
-
-If you're reading this, thank God, your patience and your mother (yes, yet she didn't
-managed to kill you death nevertheless you spent 28 hours a day reading lines on a
-monitor) you're almost done!
-The latest 2 steps are quite easy.
-Go to folder kvirccvs\kvirc\win32build and run makedist.vbs file.
-Then run the process, on which end you'll get a folder named pakage; be sure inside
-there are kvirc.exe, kvilib.dll, the folder with every KVIrc module and the following dlls:
-
-ssleay32.dll
-libeay32.dll
-qt-mtnc3321.dll
-perl58.dll
-zlib1.dll
-idleui.dll
-msvcr80.dll
-
-
-If you see something missing just run up a search onto your system and copy them into
-the pakage directory.
-Check even the file Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest is placed both in root folder and sub folder
-modules, otherwise copy it into them (files are stored into kvirccvs\kvirc\data\manifests ;
-in this last case you will only need to rename the given file
-Microsoft.VC80.CRT.modules.manifest into Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest before you put it in
-the modules folder).
-
-@ Creating setup
-
-Easypeasy!
-After installation of Innosetup launch file KVIrc.iss that houses in folder
-kvirccvs\kvirc\win32build and run the script so that at the end of the process you'll find
-a freshy hot setup.exe in folder kvirccvs\kvirc\win32build\package\setup.
-If you did chose NSIS: right click on the KVIrc.nsi installation script that is found in
-folder kvirccvs\kvirc\win32build and run Compile NSIS Script.
-This way you'll have a KVIrc.VERSION-dev-DATE.exe in your actual directory!
-Run.
-If everything went ok then.. EnjoY! =D
