Building wxGTK port with Win32 MSys2 GDK backend {#plat_msw_msys2_gtk}
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GTK+ widget toolkit has multiple GDK backends and one of them is Win32.
|
||
|
|
It is a wrapper around Windows API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These notes don't consider building wxGTK with X11 backend under Windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The MSys2 website is http://www.msys2.org/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These building steps are NOT the normal way to build MSys2 MinGW packages.
|
||
|
|
But, they are a way the wxWidgets developers can test that wxWidgets
|
||
|
|
can build the wxGTK/Win32 libraries under MSys2 MinGW.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the MSys2 way please see
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages and
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/Creating-packages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Warning**: At the time these directions were written the GTK version 3
|
||
|
|
was NOT able to create wxGTK/Win32 libraries that were usable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Install the mingw32 packages needed to build wxGTK/Win32 using the
|
||
|
|
configure/make build method.
|
||
|
|
From the MSys2 prompt or MSys2 MinGW prompt:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 32 bit Mingw packages are prefixed with "mingw-w64-i686-";
|
||
|
|
Change the prefix to "mingw-w64-x86_64-" if you wish to do 64 bit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm make
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-libjpeg-turbo
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-libpng
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-libtiff
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-gcc
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-pkg-config
|
||
|
|
## gtk2 can take a long time to update/find fonts
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-gtk2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Packages that are needed but are normally installed already.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-gcc-libs
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-expat
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-xz
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-zlib
|
||
|
|
pacman -S --needed --noconfirm mingw-w64-i686-gdk-pixbuf2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Build the wxGTK/Win32 static library
|
||
|
|
1. Open MSys2 MinGW Prompt
|
||
|
|
(These steps were tested on MinGW32; but, should work under MinGW64)
|
||
|
|
2. Use the cd command to change directory to the wxWidgets top folder.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Create the "build-gtk2-static" folder to build the static libraries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mkdir -p build-gtk2-static
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Configure wxWidgets
|
||
|
|
Option "--disable-precomp-headers" is NOT needed.
|
||
|
|
It is being used to test for compile issues.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Remove configure option "--disable-wxdib" to set wxUSE_WXDIB to 1.
|
||
|
|
The directions docs/msw/gtk.txt results in wxUSE_WXDIB set to 1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd build-gtk2-static && \
|
||
|
|
../configure --with-gtk=2 \
|
||
|
|
--disable-wxdib \
|
||
|
|
--disable-shared \
|
||
|
|
--disable-precomp-headers \
|
||
|
|
&& cd ..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. clean the wxGTK static libraries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd build-gtk2-static && make clean && cd ..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. make the wxGTK static libraries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd build-gtk2-static && make && cd ..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Build and run the minimal static sample

|
2. Build the minimal sample

|
|
4. Build most of the static samples

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Run the drawing static sample

|
||
|
|
cd samples/drawing && ../../build-gtk2-static/samples/drawing/drawing.exe && cd ../..
