Revision as of 09:27, 2 May 2014
This describes how to get OLA compiled for windows, it's a work in progress so it's unlikely to work as is. This tutorial uses gcc as the compiler, other compilers have not been tested.
During Google Summer of Code 2014, this port will be worked on as one of the selected projects.
Contents
Install Mingw, msys & build tools
Together MinGW & msys provide a unix-style shell environment & compiler suite for windows. Read the instructions at the MinGW site for more info. MinGW now provides an installer to get most of the system up and running quickly. Download the installer and make sure you select "C++ Compiler". "MSYS Basic System" & "MinGW Developer Toolkit" when prompted.
Once the installer has completed, open the msys shell (under Programs > MinGW) and install some additional packages:
$ mingw-get.exe install msys-coreutils
Install Git
Git is used to checkout (and commit) the ola sources. See http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/, be sure to select "checkout as is, commit unix style" during the install otherwise you'll get autoconf errors.
Add the following line to your .bashrc file so that git can be used within msys:
PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files/Git/bin" alias git=git.exe
Install pkg-config
Download pkg-config-lite from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgconfiglite/files/ (the latest binary should work) and extract it to your MinGW directory.
You also need to add
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
to your .bashrc file.
You might also want to edit your .profile file and add[ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc
Install Dependencies
For each of these it should be as simple as downloading the package, placing it in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\USER , un-taring the package and running ./configure , make & make install.
libuuid
- Download and extract the latest libuuid tarball from https://code.google.com/p/gnome-build-stage-1/downloads/list
- Configure, compile and install it using the MinGW MSYS shell
protobuf
- Download and extract the latest protobuf tarball from https://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/list
- Configure, compile and install it using the MinGW MSYS shell
Build OLA
- Do a git checkout of OLA
$ git.exe clone https://github.com/OpenLightingProject/ola.git
- Prepare autotools files
$ autoreconf -i -f
- Run ./configure
$ ./configure
- Build
$ make
Current State / TODO
See the GSOC project page.
