This describes how to get OLA compiled for windows, it's a work in progress so it's unlikely to work as is.

Install Mingw, msys & build tools
The instructions at http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS are very helpful. There are similar instructions at http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_MSYS-MinGW
- 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.
Install Git
See http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/, be sure to select "unix style carriage returns" otherwise you'll get autoconf errors.
Install Dependencies
- http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/ . Note you need to install the .tar.gz as the zip just contains protoc (we need the libraries as well)
- http://www.ossp.org/pkg/lib/uuid/ , be sure to run configure with ./configure --prefix=/mingw --includedir /mingw/include/ossp
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/cppunit/files/ , download version
- http://code.google.com/p/google-ctemplate/
Build OLA
- Do a git checkout of OLA
Problems
- The released version of ctemplate doesn't build, http://code.google.com/p/google-ctemplate/issues/detail?id=48 indicates head should work.
