This HOWTO outlines a method for compiling libartnet on Windows using MinGW to produce the libartnet-1.dll.
Install Mingw, msys & build tools
The instructions at http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS are very helpful.
- Install mingw and msys
- Launch the msys shell
- Unpack autoconf, automake and libtool to a directory of your choice.
- Install each of them with the following command:
$ ./configure --prefix=/mingw && make && make install
- Update PKG_CONFIG_PATH
As all the libraries will be installed in /mingw, PKG_CONFIG_PATH must be set.
Open the file /etc/profile (C:\msys\1.0\etc\profile) with your favorite editor (make sure it uses LF line endings) and add:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/mingw/lib/pkgconfig"
You might also want to set CFLAGS. Safe options for MinGW are:
CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -mms-bitfields -march=i686"
just before
export HOME LOGNAME MSYSTEM HISTFILE
and modify that line by adding the variables:
export HOME LOGNAME MSYSTEM HISTFILE CFLAGS PKG_CONFIG_PATH
Now restart MSYS. You should now be able to use MSYS without problems.
This is the biggest part of the job.
Install Git
See http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/, be sure to select "unix style carriage returns" otherwise you'll get autoconf errors.
Download Libartnet
Grab the libarnet sources (via the git shell or the git UI)
$ git clone http://www.nomis52.net/git/libartnet
Compile Libartnet
$ cd libartnet
launch reconf script (autotools where installed in/c/MinGW, so i pass this prefix)
$ reconf --prefix=/c/MinGW/ configure.in:14: installing `./config.guess' configure.in:14: installing `./config.sub' configure.in:7: installing `./install-sh' configure.in:15: required file `./ltmain.sh' not found configure.in:7: installing `./missing' artnet/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
libtoolize everything to copy ./ltmain.sh
$ libtoolize --force --copy libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh' libtoolize: Consider adding `AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4])' to configure.in and libtoolize: rerunning libtoolize, to keep the correct libtool macros in-tree. libtoolize: Consider adding `-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.
(i didn't set AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR([m4]) neither ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS)
re-launch reconf script
$ reconf --prefix=/c/MinGW/
compile everything
$ ./configure --prefix=/c/MinGW/ && make && make install
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL macro and -no-undefined flag cause libartnet to build as DLL
