This document does assume some -basic knowledger about configuring VS, building C++ projects in general etc. - -1. To start, get git from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ and install - it. Checkout ledger from the git repository using the instructions on - http://github.com/jwiegley/ledger. - -2. Next, Download the libraries you need: - - - mpir: http://www.mpir.org/ - (mpir is a source-level alternative for GMP, which supports Windows) - - mpfr: http://www.mpfr.org/ - - boost: http://www.boost.org/ - - Extract mpir & mpfr to lib/win/mpfr & lib/win/mpir. - -3. Download the mpfr Visual Studio project files from - - http://gladman.plushost.co.uk/oldsite/computing/gmp4win.php - -4. If you didn't download the binary distribution of boost, build it yourself. - These libraries are linked statically so you need to the static versions. - - Use the following command to build boost (bjam is a separate tool to be - downloaded from the boost website): - - bjam toolset=msvc-9.0 --build-type=complete - define=_BIND_TO_CURRENT_MFC_VERSION=1 - define=_BIND_TO_CURRENT_CRT_VERSION=1 - stage - -5. Add the boost directory to your VS include directories, and the stage/lib - directory to the library directories. - -6. Checkout utfcpp by updating Ledger's Git submodules: - - git submodule update --init - -7. Finally, open the ledger.sln solution and hit build. - - -If you also want to build the installer, you will first need to somehow -generate the documentation pdf in the doc/ directory. You can either do this -using a TeX distribution for Windows, or copy it from a Linux machine. Next -run the build.bat command in the dist/win/installer directory. The resulting -installer package will be copied to this directory, too. |
