Compilation

SVN snapshots compilation: To build SIM you should have automake-1.5 and autoconf-2.53, however, autoconf 2.13 works too, you just need to hack admin/cvs.sh to turn off "exit 1" on version check. Note that you will be unable to compile icq plugin without SSL support.

Requirements:

1. make -f admin/Makefile.common
2. ./configure --prefix=<your_installation_path>
3. make
4. make install
5. Start SIM :-)

See "./configure --help" for more options, specially for --enable-final and --disable-debug.

MINGW compilation:

Requirements:

Toolchain setup:

Install Mingw. You need to install gcc-core, g++, binutils, w32api, mingw32-make. Add mingw's bin directory to %PATH%
Install Msys. You need MSYS-1.0.10.exe
Compile Q..3/Windows. Extract sources somewhere. Then create dirs "include", "include/private" in this folder. Then run configure-mingw.bat. Add Q..3's bin directory to %PATH%
Compile and install zlib. specify --prefix=/mingw option to ./configure script, then make&&make install.
Compile and install libxml2. specify --prefix=/mingw option to ./configure script, then make&&make install.
Compile and install libxslt. specify --prefix=/mingw option to ./configure script, then make&&make install.
Compile and install OpenSSL. Extract sources, then run "ms\mingw32 no-asm". Then install as specified in INSTALL.W32 file into your Mingw installation dir.
Install Perl. Add Perl's bin directory to %PATH%
Install zip. Extract and put zip.exe in some dir in your %PATH%
Install Flex. Extract and put flex.exe in some dir in your %PATH%.

Compilation and Installation

make -f admin/Makefile.common unfortunally doesn't work under Msys. This must be performed under Cygwin or some other *nix environment.
./configure --disable-kde --enable-win --with-qt-dir=... --with-ssl-dir=...
make
make INSTALL=install DESTDIR=/yor/destdir. After this you must manually put sim files in this layout:

/icons
/pict
/plugins
/po
/sounds
/styles
/libsim-0.dll
/sim.exe
