These scripts try to download and install a Windows/mingw32 build environment for GnuCash on Windows. For cross-compiling the windows executable on Linux, see the lower section of this file. Before you start with the automated build, you have to complete these steps manually. The directory variables are set in `defaults.sh' and optionally `custom.sh'. * Download MSYS (but *only* msys; no mingw and no msysdtk) from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml -> Current -> MSYS -> (bin, *.exe) to $DOWNLOAD_DIR * Install MSYS (no postinstall) to $MSYS_DIR * Download wget from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml -> Current -> mingwPORT -> (bin, wget-*) to $DOWNLOAD_DIR * Look at defaults.sh and create a file named custom.sh to specify adapted directory variables. If you want verbose output of any script step, add "set -x" to that file. * Either, download Qt from http://www.trolltech.com/developer/downloads/qt/windows, install it and set QTDIR in custom.sh, like "QTDIR=/c/Qt/4.2.3"; or skip building the AqBanking Setup Wizard by specifying "AQBANKING_WITH_QT=no". Start/Enter any MSYS shell window. Let the automated build begin by: $INSTALLER_DIR/install.sh Good luck! To generate a self-installing setup.exe file that contains *everything*, run the following command after install.sh has completed: $INSTALLER_DIR/dist.sh More information is collected on http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Windows -------------------------- Cross-compiling a Windows/mingw32 executable of GnuCash on a Linux host system. (Note: This used to work unchangedly in Sept'2006 but probably not any longer.) These steps need to be performed: 1. Edit the file create_cross_mingw.sh and set the PREFIX= variable to the preferred prefix of the mingw32 gcc/binutils on your Linux. (It is strongly recommended to choose a different prefix than your normal compiler toolchain in order to distinguish your native vs. cross compiler more easily.) Then run the script create_cross_mingw.sh - it will download, compile, and install a mingw32 toolchain. 2. Edit the file defaults.sh: Make a global search-and-replace of '\\' into '/' so that all directories are specified in unix conventions. Set the variable cross_compile to "yes". Then adjust the directories in defaults.sh according to your preferred installation, especially $GLOBAL_DIR. 3. Download a binary windows packages for "guile" e.g. from http://www.tu-harburg.de/~et2cs/gnc/ and unpack it into the directory $GUILE_DIR as given in defaults.sh. (This is done because the build system for guile doesn't support cross-compiling.) 4. Call install.sh, which will read the directory settings from defaults.sh. It should download, compile, and install everything automatically. Eventually the windows gnucash is installed into $GNUCASH_DIR. 5. The content of $GNUCASH_DIR (as well as all the other binary packages) should then be copied to a windows machine. The paths in $GNUCASH_DIR/bin/gnucash and/or $GNUCASH_DIR/bin/gnucash.bat need to be adjusted for the installation location on the windows machine. Good luck!
