Building wxMSW port with Win32 MSys2 backend {#plat_msw_msys2}
------------------------------------------------
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 wxMSW libraries under MSys2 MinGW.
For the MSys2 way please see https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
Building steps:
1. Install the mingw32 packages needed to build wxMSW 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
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
2. Build the wxMSW 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-msw-static" folder to build the static libraries
mkdir -p build-msw-static
4. Configure wxWidgets
Option "--disable-precomp-headers" is NOT needed.
I am doing it to check for compile issues;
And, I think my old 32 bit Windows machine
works best with it disabled.
cd build-msw-static && \
../configure --with-msw \
--disable-shared \
--disable-precomp-headers \
&& cd ..
5. make the wxMSW static libraries
cd build-msw-static && make && cd ..
3. Build and run the minimal static sample
1. Clean the minimal sample
cd build-msw-static/samples/minimal && make clean && cd ../../..
2. Build the minimal sample
cd build-msw-static/samples/minimal && make && cd ../../..
3. Run the minimal sample
./build-msw-static/samples/minimal/minimal.exe
4. Clean the static samples
cd build-msw-static/samples && make clean && cd ../..
5. Build and run the typetest static sample to verify MIME database works
cd build-msw-static/samples/typetest && make && cd ../../..
./build-msw-static/samples/typetest/typetest.exe
6. Build and run the drawing static sample
cd build-msw-static/samples/drawing && make && cd ../../..
cd samples/drawing && ../../build-msw-static/samples/drawing/drawing.exe && cd ../..
7. Build and run the splash static sample
cd build-msw-static/samples/splash && make && cd ../../..
cd samples/splash && ../../build-msw-static/samples/splash/splash.exe && cd ../..
8. Build and run the widgets static sample
cd build-msw-static/samples/widgets && make && cd ../../..
cd samples/widgets && ../../build-msw-static/samples/widgets/widgets.exe && cd ../..
9. Build all the rest of the static samples
cd build-msw-static/samples && make && cd ../..
