The recommended way of building Clutter for Windows is using the
|
|
<ulink type="http" url="http://www.mingw.org/">mingw</ulink> tool
|
|
chain. One option is to cross-compile Clutter under Linux -- you
|
|
can use the script found in the <filename>build/mingw/</filename>
|
|
directory to simplify the process (the script takes care of setting
|
|
up the necessary dependencies).
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you wish to build Clutter using mingw direcly under Windows, you
|
|
can do so the normal *nix way (described above) using the mingw
|
|
POSIX shell. Should you prefer to use Microsoft Visual Studio, a
|
|
project file for MSVC 2005 is located in the
|
|
<filename>build/msvc_2k5/</filename> directory. In either case, you
|
|
will need to first install the required dependencies.

There are currently two backends that are supported on
|
|
Windows. One uses the Win32 and WGL APIs directly and the
|
|
other is built on top of SDL. You must choose one of the
|
|
backends when running the configure script using the
|
|
following argument:

|
|
<para>For developing an application with Clutter, the recommended
|
|
way of installing it using the <ulink href="http://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</ulink>
|
|
project, by simply invoking:</para>
|
|
|
|
<informalexample><programlisting>
|
|
$ sudo port install clutter
|
|
</programlisting></informalexample>
|
|
|
|
<para>on a terminal, after installing and updating MacPorts.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For developing Clutter itself, the recommended way of building
|
|
it OSX is to use <ulink href="http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild">Jhbuild</ulink>,
|
|
following the documentation for building the GTK+ stack as shown
|
|
<ulink href="http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gtk-macosx/build-instructions">here</ulink>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
Jhbuild depends on SVN, which can be installed on OSX by using
|
|
the <ulink href="http://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</ulink>
|
|
project.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
XCode should also be installed, either from the OSX installation
|
|
disk or downloading it from the Apple website. It is recommended
|
|
to also install the X11 development files, even though Clutter
|
|
does not strictly depend on them.

The Clutter Quartz backend is built by passing the
|
|
<literal>--with-flavour=osx</literal> command line argument
|
|
to the configure script. If not passed, the GLX backend will
|
|
be built. By default, the Quartz backend depends on CoreGraphics
|
|
in order to load images into textures, but it can also depend
|
|
on GDK-Pixbuf or an internal, highly experimental PNG and JPEG
|
|
loader.

GTK-Doc is not working on OSX, so API reference generation
|
|
should also be disabled when building Clutter, by using
|
|
the <literal>--disable-docs</literal> and
|
|
<literal>--disable-gtk-doc</literal> command line argument
|
|
to the configure script.
