The C4819 warnings appear due to a bug on Visual C++ when running on non-English locales, specifically CJK versions/locales of Windows. Re-enable this, like what is done in GLib, and add a note in the Visual C++ README.txt's to tell people about this, so that Cogl will be built correctly.

A more detailed description on using Visual C++ to compile COGL with
|
|
its dependencies can be found on the following GNOME Live! page:
|
|
|
|
https://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/Win32/MSVCCompilationOfGTKStack
|
|
|
|
Please do not attempt to compile COGL in a path that contains spaces
|
|
to avoid potential problems during compilation, linking or usage.
|
|
|
|
This VS9 solution and the projects it includes are intented to be used
|
|
in a Cogl source tree unpacked from a tarball. In a git checkout you
|
|
first need to use some Unix-like environment or manual work to expand
|
|
the files needed, like config.h.win32.in into config.h.win32 and the
|
|
.vcprojin files here into corresponding actual .vcproj files.
|
|
|
|
Decide whether you want to build the SDL winsys with your COGL build, and
|
|
use one of the .sln for building COGL (note that both will build the Windows
|
|
OpenGL (WGL) winsys):
|
|
-cogl.sln for building COGL without the SDL winsys
|
|
-cogl_sdl.sln for building COGL with the SDL winsys
|
|
|
|
You will need the parts from GNOME: GDK-Pixbuf, Pango* and GLib.
|
|
External dependencies are at least zlib, libpng,
|
|
gettext-runtime* and Cairo*, and glext.h from
|
|
http://www.opengl.org/registry/api/glext.h (which need to be in the GL folder
|
|
in your include directories or in <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include\GL).
|
|
|
|
As Cogl 1.99.x and later will now use C99 types in lieu of GLib types, a
|
|
compatible implementation of stdint.h for Visual C++ is required, such
|
|
as the one from http://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/, so one would need
|
|
to download and extract the .zip file from that website and extract stdint.h
|
|
into <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include or somewhere where it can be
|
|
automatically found by the compiler. Note that Visual C++ 2010 and later
|
|
ships with stdint.h, so it is only required for Visual C++ 2008 builds.
|
|
|
|
If building the SDL winsys is desired, you will also need the SDL libraries
|
|
from www.libsdl.org-building the SDL source package with Visual C++ 2008
|
|
is recommended (working Visual C++ 2005 projects are included with it, upgrade
|
|
the projects one prompted), but one may want to use the VC8 binary packages
|
|
from that website.
|
|
|
|
Please see the README file in the root directory of this Cogl source package
|
|
for the versions of the dependencies required. See also
|
|
build/win32/vs9/README.txt in the GLib source package for details
|
|
where to unpack them. It is recommended that at least the dependencies
|
|
from GNOME are also built with VS9 to avoid crashes caused by mixing different
|
|
CRTs-please see also the build/win32/vs9/README.txt in those respective packages.
|
|
|
|
The recommended build sequence of the dependencies are as follows (the non-GNOME
|
|
packages that are not downloaded as binaries from ftp://ftp.gnome.org have
|
|
makefiles and/or VS project files that can be used to compile with VS directly,
|
|
except the optional PCRE, which is built on VS using CMake; GLib has
|
|
VS9 project files in the latest stable versions, GDK-Pixbuf have VS9 project files
|
|
in the latest unstable version, and Pango should have VS9 project files
|
|
in the next unstable release):
|
|
-Unzip the binary packages for gettext-runtime, freetype, expat and fontconfig
|
|
downloaded from ftp://ftp.gnome.org*
|
|
-zlib
|
|
-libpng
|
|
-(optional for GLib) PCRE (8.12 or later, building PCRE using CMake is
|
|
recommended-please see build/win32/vs9/README.txt in the GLib source package)
|
|
-(for gdk-pixbuf, if GDI+ is not to be used) IJG JPEG
|
|
-(for gdk-pixbuf, if GDI+ is not to be used) jasper [JPEG-2000 library]
|
|
-(for gdk-pixbuf, if GDI+ is not to be used, requires zlib and IJG JPEG) libtiff
|
|
-GLib
|
|
-Cairo
|
|
-Pango
|
|
-GDK-Pixbuf
|
|
|
|
The "install" project will copy build results and headers into their
|
|
appropriate location under <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>. For instance,
|
|
built DLLs go into <root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\bin, built LIBs into
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\lib and Cogl headers into
|
|
<root>\vs9\<PlatformName>\include\Cogl-2.0.
|
|
|
|
*There is no known official VS9 build support for fontconfig
|
|
(required for Pango and Pango at the moment-I will see whether this
|
|
requirement can be made optional for VS builds)
|
|
(along with freetype and expat) and gettext-runtime, so
|
|
please use the binaries from:
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/ (32 bit)
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win64/dependencies/ (64 bit)
|
|
|
|
Note: If you see C4819 warnings and you are compiling Cogl on a DBCS
|
|
(Chinese/Korean/Japanese) version of Windows, you may need to switch
|
|
to an English locale in Control Panel->Region and Languages->System->
|
|
Change System Locale, reboot and rebuild to ensure Cogl and its
|
|
dependencies are built correctly. This is due to a bug in Visual C++
|
|
running on DBCS locales.
