Building wxMSW port with Win32 MSys2 backend

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 ../..
