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.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

@ 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
|
|
|
|
|
<EFBFBD>recipe<EFBFBD> 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 <20> 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 <20> 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

ZLIBLIBDIR
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
C:\zlib\lib
|
|
|
|
|
Meaning:
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Variable:
|
|
|
|
|
OPENSSL

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
SSLINCDIR
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
C:\OpenSSL\include
|
|
|
|
|
Meaning:
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Variable:

|
|
|
|
SSLLIBDIR
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
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
