For a description of +how to use it, see: -If you were looking to build Clutter with Visual Studio instead there -is an external project which is maintaining build files for Clutter -(and other glib-based projects) here: - - https://launchpad.net/oah - -For cross compiling you need to have the compiler installed. The -script should automatically download all other dependencies. Under -Ubuntu (and probably other Debian-based distros) you can install the -compiler with this command: - - sudo apt-get install mingw32{,-binutils,-runtime} - -To compile clutter, - - mkdir build_dir - cd build_dir - ./mingw-cross-compile.sh - -and follow the prompts. - -Building under MSYS -=================== - -Building directly under Windows requires some extra work to get some -basic utilities installed. Here are step-by-step instructions to build -from a clean installation of Windows: - -First you need to install the MinGW and MSYS packages from [1]. - -Select the top package called 'Automated MinGW Intaller' and download -the exe of the latest version. Run the executable and install to the -default location. Make sure you DON'T install 'MinGW make' to make -life easier. - -Next download the 'MSYS Base System'. Use the .exe installer from -'Current release' (not the technology preview). Run the executable and -install to the default location. Answer yes to whether you want to -continue with the post install and tell it the location where you -installed MinGW (which should be c:/MinGW). - -Next install the 'MSYS supplementary tools'. Again select .exe from -the current release and install it to the default location. - -To get the dependencies we want to run the mingw-cross-compile.sh -script. However to do this we first need some extra utilities. - -Make a directory called c:/msys/1.0/clutter-work and another directory -called downloads under that. Go back to the SourceForge page for MinGW -and select the 'User Contributed: mingwPORT' section. Download the -wget tarball to the newly created downloads folder. - -Start MSYS and type the following to install wget. - -cd /clutter-work/downloads -tar -jvxf wget-1.9.1-mingwPORT.tar.bz2 -cd wget-1.9.1/mingwPORT -mkdir /usr/src -PATH="$PATH":"$PWD" ./mingwPORT.sh - -Press enter at each question to just use the default - -Next we need to install unzip.exe which we can get from the GNUWin32 -ports. Visit here [2] and download the 'complete package, except -sources'. Install it to the default location. - -Now we can type the following to download and install the clutter -dependencies using the helper script: - -cd /clutter-work -wget -O downloads/mingw-cross-compile.sh \ -http://folks.o-hand.com/neil/mingw-cross-compile.sh -PATH="$PATH:/c/Program Files/GnuWin32/bin" \ -sh ./downloads/mingw-cross-compile.sh - -Press enter to all of the questions to get the default except the 'Do -you want to download and install Clutter' question because that will -try to use Git which we don't have installed. - -Next we need to install pkg-config to get Clutter's configure script -to work. Type the following: - -cd /clutter-work/downloads -wget 'http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.23.tar.gz' -tar -zvxf pkg-config-0.23.tar.gz -cd pkg-config-0.23 -prefix=/clutter-work/clutter-cross -libdir="${prefix}/lib" -includedir="${prefix}/include" -CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall -I${includedir}/glib-2.0 -I${libdir}/glib-2.0/include" \ -LDFLAGS="-L${libdir} -lglib-2.0 -lintl -liconv" \ -./configure -make all install - -Now we should finally be ready to compile Clutter: - -cd /clutter-work/downloads -wget http://www.clutter-project.org/sources/clutter/1.0/clutter-1.0.0.tar.bz2 -cd .. -tar -jvxf downloads/clutter-1.0.0.tar.bz2 -cd clutter-1.0.0 -PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/clutter-work/clutter-cross/lib/pkgconfig \ - PATH="$PATH:/clutter-work/clutter-cross/bin" \ - CFLAGS="-mms-bitfields -I/clutter-work/clutter-cross/include -g -O2 -Wall" \ - ./configure --prefix=/clutter-work/clutter-cross --with-flavour=win32 -make all install - -Now to prove that it worked we can run test-actors.
