Building with CMake

Building for Windows

Requirements

• TortoiseSVN for getting the Sources
• CMake 2.4.2
• Qt3 for your platform (Q.../Free will be fine)
• A supported compiler (MinGW or Visual Studio >= 7)
• LibXML2
• LibXSLT
• zlib
• gettext & iconv for win32
• OpenSSL (optional, required for some plugins)
• ASpell (optional, required for spell plugin)

Environment

Once you've installed all requried packages, make sure you've set the following environment variables are correct:

• QTDIR - the path to your Qt3 installation
• CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH - paths to the headers of all installed packages
• CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH - paths to the libraries of all installed packages

For example:

C:\>set
QTDIR=[TODO: write an example value here]
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=D:\Programm\GnuWin32\Include;D:\Programm\OpneSSL\Include
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=D:\Programm\GnuWin32\Lib;D:\Programm\OpenSSL\Lib\MSVC

If some values are missing, use should set them using set command:

 C:\>set QTDIR=[TODO: write an example value here]
 C:\>set CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=%CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH%;D:\Programm\OpneSSL\Include

Compilation

After you've checked out the sources, create a new directory 'sim-im-build'. Now you can call cmake (or cmakesetup on win32) by switching into 'sim-im-build':

cmake ..\sim-im 

When cmake is ready and all required packages were found you can start compiling sim with 'make' (or mingw32-make or nmake)
