This README details the instructions required for compiling DC-API BOINC client libs on MinGW32. Alternatively we provide a package containing precompiled libraries (see http://doc.desktopgrid.hu/doku.php?id=manual:dc-api&#linux_mingw32cross-compiling_for_windows for details.) 1. Requirements - Debian 6.0 2. Compiling DC-API on MinGW32 2.1 As root run: $> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade $> apt-get install mingw32 $> apt-get install autoconf libtool make $> apt-get install libglib2.0-dev # DC-API: only needed for autoreconf to finish # (it would complain about missing glib2 libs) $> apt-get install gtk-doc-tools # only needed for autoreconf to finish (it would # complain about gtk-doc missing) 2.2. Switch to some non-privileged user. You don't need to be root from now on. Next run: $> cd ${HOME} $> mkdir -p w32-root/include $> mkdir -p w32-root/lib 2.3. Get the DC-API source and put it in ${HOME}/dcapi-trunk 2.4. Run: $> wget http://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/windows/cygwin/release/util-linux/libuuid-devel/libuuid-devel-2.21.2-1.tar.bz2 Uncompress and copy include files to ${HOME}/w32-root/include/uuid/ and libraries to ${HOME}/w32-root/lib/ 2.5. Get pthreads-w32-2.9.0-mingw32-pre-20110507-2-dev.tar.lzma from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/pthreads-w32/ Uncompress and copy include files to ${HOME}/w32-root/include/ and libraries to ${HOME}/w32-root/lib/ 2.6. Get our boinc lib package from (link is at the bottom of the section): http://doc.desktopgrid.hu/doku.php?id=manual:dc-api#linux_mingw32cross-compiling_for_windows uncompress, build the package following the instructions found in the README file. Finally copy includes to ${HOME}/w32-root/include/boinc/ and libraries to ${HOME}/w32-root/lib. 2.7. Modify "-pthread" in dcapi-trunk/cf/boinc.m4 to "-lpthread" (at two places) 2.8. Finally execute the following: $> cd dcapi-trunk $> autoreconf --install --force --symlink $> ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --disable-master --disable-backend-local \ --enable-backend-boinc --with-boinc=${HOME}/w32-root/ LDFLAGS=-L${HOME}/w32-root/lib \ --prefix=${HOME}/w32-root/ CPPFLAGS=-I${HOME}/w32-root/include/ LIBS="-lpsapi" $> make $> make install
