 ====== Setting up the build environment on Windows ======
-Assuming Windows XP 32.
+Assuming Windows XP 32.  We will use MinGW to build the libraries and application and MSYS as a working environment.
+The distinction between MinGW and MSYS is very important: MinGW is a set of compilers and libraries you use to build Windows applications, while MSYS is an emulated GNU environment similar to (and, in fact, based on) Cygwin.  You can //not// use MSYS libraries in your Windows application.  This means that you will sometimes have two copies of a particular library: an MSYS version used by MSYS tools, and a native version built with MinGW and used by MinGW tools and / or your application.
+===== Directories =====
+We will install MinGW into ''C:\MinGW'' and MSYS into ''C:\MSYS''.
+MSYS maps Unix-like paths to Windows paths: ''/'' translates to ''C:\MSYS'' and ''/mingw'' translates to ''C:\MinGW''.  In addition, all Windows drives will show up as ''/x'', where ''x'' corresponds to the drive letter, so ''/c/windows'' translates to ''C:\windows'', etc.
+We will install our libraries and applications into ''C:\met.no''.  You should start by creating that directory and the required subdirectories:
+  C:\> mkdir met.no
+  C:\> mkdir met.no\bin
+  C:\> mkdir met.no\include
+  C:\> mkdir met.no\lib
+  C:\> mkdir met.no\share
+  C:\> mkdir met.no\copyright
 ===== Subversion =====

 Doesn't really matter which one.  Certified binaries of The Real McCoy are available at http://www.collab.net/downloads/subversion/ (command-line only) if you have an account (or are willing to register).  There are other (non-certified) sources such as SlikSVN (http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download, command-line only) and TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads, with Windows Explorer integration, which is really neat).
-===== MSYS =====
+===== MinGW =====
-Download the MSYS Base System installer from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/MSYS%20Base%20System/msys-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe and run it.  If it asks, tell it you don't have MinGW installed.
+Download and the latest automated installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/ and run it.  Ask for the //current// version (not //previous// or //candidate//).  Select these components //and these components only//: base tools, g++ compiler, g77 compiler.
-Now that MSYS is installed, you can start the "MSYS (rxvt)" shortcut it installed, and it'll be almost like you were home on the Unix farm.
+As of 2009-11-20, the current MinGW version is 5.1.6, which includes GCC 3.4.5.
-===== MinGW =====
+//tip: move the installer into an empty directory before starting it; it will download all the MinGW distribution files into that directory.//
-As of November 2009, the automated installer is useless; it installs gcc 3 instead of 4.  You'll have to install MinGW manually using MSYS.
+At this point, you may want to download bsdtar from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW%20Utilities/basic%20bsdtar/bsdtar-2.7.900a_r1628-20091110/ and install ''bsdtar.exe'' as ''/mingw/bin/tar''.  It supports a wider range of archive formats and compression algorithms than GNU tar, and automatically detects which one to use.
-The following command will create and mount a directory for MinGW:
+You may want to install InfoZip's ''zip'' utility as well, since ''bsdtar'' can //extract// zip files but not //create// them: download the source code from http://sourceforge.net/projects/infozip/files/, extract it, and run the following commands in the source directory:
-  mount C:/MinGW /mingw
+  $ make -f win32/makefile.gcc
+  $ cp zip.exe /mingw/bin
-Next, download the packages you will need.
+===== MSYS =====
+Download the MSYS installer from
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/ and run it (you will need administrator privileges).  Accept the default answer to all questions.
-  * GCC: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/GCC%20Version%204/Current%20Release_%20gcc-4.4.0/gcc-full-4.4.0-mingw32-bin-2.tar.lzma
+As of 2009-11-20, the latest MSYS version is 1.0.11.
-  * BinUtils: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/GNU%20Binutils/binutils-2.20/binutils-2.20-1-mingw32-bin.tar.gz
-  * MinGW API: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/MinGW%20API%20for%20MS-Windows/Current%20Release_%20w32api-3.13/w32api-3.13-mingw32-dev.tar.gz
-  * MinGW Runtime: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/MinGW%20Runtime/mingwrt-3.16/mingwrt-3.16-mingw32-dev.tar.gz and http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/MinGW%20Runtime/mingwrt-3.16/mingwrt-3.16-mingw32-dll.tar.gz
-Then extract everything:

-===== Boost jam =====
-This utility is used to [[boost|compile the Boost libraries]].  We're going to build it from source, so this is our baptism of MinGW fire...
-Get the source tarball from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost-jam/3.1.17/boost-jam-3.1.17.tgz; once you have it, it's a simple matter of running the build script (which will automatically detect MinGW) and installing the resulting executable:
-  $ tar zxf boost-jam-3.1.17.tgz
+Or rather, in our brave GNU world, flex and bison.  There is a problem here: you can't use the MSYS versions, because they're not just build tools&mdash;bison includes a runtime library (''liby'').  Hence we need native versions of both tools.  We can get those from [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32|GnuWin32]].

-  $ for f in *-mingw32-*tar.lzma ; do tar --lzma -xvf $f -C /mingw ; done
+This will install a shell script called ''/MinGW/bin/yacc'' which incorrectly redirects to ''c:/progra~1/bison/bin/bison''.  Edit it so the entire script looks like this:
-  $ for f in *-msys-*tar.lzma ; do tar --lzma -xvf $f -C / ; done
-Some tarballs are compressed with ''xz'' (''*.lzma''), some with ''bzip2'' (''*.bz2''), some with ''gzip'' (''*.gz'').  Take care to use the correct tar options (''--lzma'', ''--bzip2'' or ''--gzip'') according to file type.  However, once you've installed OpenSSL, all the compression libraries, libarchive and bsdtar, you can use bsdtar instead of GNU tar; bsdtar automatically detects the file type, so regardless of compression algorithm, you can just use ''bsdtar xvf <tarball> -C <destdir>''.
