Howtos - Hack on Windows Seven¶

You need to:

1. Install Tortoise Git : http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/.
   1. Kind of SSH Client : TortoisePLink
2. Install msysgit (needed by Tortoise Git) : http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/.
   1. Do not install in "Program files" or in a path which contains spaces. We recommend to install in C:\git.
3. If you want an access to the master repository : generate a RSA 2048 bit with Puttygen (come with tortoisegit) and send it to a project manager.
4. Install Qt SDK (Qt creator is included) : http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/.
5. Add C:\Qt\2010.02.1\mingw\bin;C:\Qt\2010.02.1\qt\bin to your path environment variable.
6. Install proto buff library source
   1. Download the source zip here (2.4.0a) : http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/list and unzip in C:\protobuf
   2. Edit <Qt dir>\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.4.0\libstdc++.la and replace library_names='libstdc++.dll.a' by library_names='libstdc++.a'
   3. Launch "Git Bash" and go to /c/protobuf then type :
      1. export MAKE=mingw32-make
      2. ./configure CXXFLAGS=-O2 --enable-shared=no
      3. mingw32-make
   4. Add to your path these directories : C:\protobuf\src\;C:\protobuf\src\.libs to reach executable protoc and library libprotobuf.a.
7. Git clone the repository :
   1. git://github.com/Ummon/D-LAN.git if you just want clone the repository (read-only).
   2. git@github.com:Ummon/D-LAN.git if you have a full access (read+write).
8. Generate the sources for the .proto files
   1. Launch "Git bash" and go to d-lan/application
   2. Type ./1.generate_proto_cpp.sh (each time you modify the .proto files you have to run this script)
9. Set up Qt Creator
   1. Launch Qt Creator
   2. Open the projects d-lan/application/GUI.pro and d-lan/application/Core.pro
   3. For both projects:
      1. Uncheck Shadow build in the Build Settings tab.
      2. Add the argument debug -f Makefile-Core to Make for the build configuration Debug and release -f Makefile-Core for the build configuration Release. Replace 'Core' by 'GUI' for the GUI project.
   4. Add -e as an argument and check¹ Run in terminal in the Run Settings tab of the Core project.
   5. You can now compile and run the two projects.

¹ Without this option the Core cannot be launched in debug mode (stderr cannot be used).

Custom Qt compilation¶

Add QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=gnu++0x at the end of the file Qt/4.8.1/mkspecs/win32-g++-4.6/qmake.conf

./configure.exe -ltcg -opensource -debug-and-release -platform win32-g++-4.6 -nomake demos -nomake examples -qt-style-windowsxp -qt-style-windowsvista -no-style-plastique -no-style-cleanlooks -no-style-motif -no-style-cde -no-qt3support -no-opengl -no-accessibility -no-native-gestures
