Compiling under windows XP with sdk compiler.

• download Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. Install and configure.
• download openssl source
• download nasm
• download perl
• install sdk
• install nasm
• install perl
• mkdir c:\msc\extra\lib, c:\msc\extra\include
• unpack ssl source. I assume c:\src\openssl
• open VIA START MENU "SDK..." > cmd shell
• make sure nasm is in the path
• cd into c:\src\openssl
• perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\msc\extra
• ms\do_nasm
• nmake -f ms\nt.mak
• nmake -f ms\nt.mak install
• checkout fossil. assume c:\src\fossil
• cd \src\fossil
• mkdir msc\
• cd msc
• edit ..\win\Makefile.msc to enable SSL and uncomment the SSL LIBS
• nmake -f ..\win\Makefile.msc

Compiling under windows with Digital Mars C compiler

• download Digital Mars c-ompiler. unzip to c:\
• download the zlib source.
• unzip it and compile
• open dosbox
• mkdir c:\DM\extra\lib, c:\DM\extra\include
• copy zlib.lib c:\DM\extra\lib
• copy zlib.h and zconf.h to c:\DM\extra\include
• checkout fossil. assume c:\src\fossil
• cd \src\fossil
• mkdir dmc\
• cd dmc
• c:\DM\bin\make -f ..\win\Makefile.dmc

Updating windows sdk dmc

With the advent of fossil having a windows service interface compiling fossil will not work. The simplest option is to replace dm/include/win32/winsvc.h. The downside is that your headers are from 2 different versions and possible from 2 different sources. I used the files from mingw.org to update the sdk. The recipe for the upgrade can be found on the digital mars news server.

Compiling under Wine with Digital Mars C compiler

• download Digital Mars c-ompiler. unzip to c:\
• download the zlib source.
• unzip it
• open dosbox "wineconsole cmd"
• compile zlib
• mkdir c:\DM\extra\lib, c:\DM\extra\include
• copy zlib.lib c:\DM\extra\lib
• copy zlib.h and zconf.h to c:\DM\extra\include
• checkout fossil. assume c:\src\fossil
• cd \src\fossil
• mkdir dmc\
• cd dmc
• c:\DM\bin\make -f ..\win\Makefile.dmc

Compiling under windows with Mingw

Installing the tools.

• download mingw-get-inst-xx.exe. Install it using the default c:\MingW. Make sure you tell the installer to include MSYS by checking the relevant option.
• Either build a user logon script, or change Windows' system PATH so MinGW finds its programs: C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\MSYS\1.0\bin, and reboot
• If you want https support download openssl the binary and developer files. Extract to c:\MingW

Getting fossil source code

Log on as Anonymous, go to the Timeline section, and download the latest development source code. Just unzip the Fossil file anywhere you want (c:\src\fossil is assumed).

Compiling fossil source code

• If you want https supports
  • make -f Makefile.w32 FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 LIB="-lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 -lmingwex -lz -lws2_32"
• else, cd c:\src\fossil, and run make -f win/Makefile.mingw. The compiled fossil.exe will be available at the root in c:\src\fossil.

Compiling under windows with PellesC

• download and install PellesC C-compiler
• download a windows version of gnu-make(http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/)
• download the zlib source and unzip
• checkout fossil
• edit Makefile.PellesCGMake and check paths
• open dosbox
• change directory to fossil project tree
• mkdir PellesC
• cd PellesC
• unxutils-path\make -f ..\win\Makefile.PellesCGMake

This is tested under Windows XP with PellesC 5 and Window 7 with PellesC 6(32 & 64 bit)

Compiling under linux for windows with Mingw

This is called cross compiling. I'm using Arch linux distribution which uses the package manager pacman to install packages. If you have a differen linux distribution the packages might be called different. I assume a login name of renez substitute yours were apropiate.

Installing the tools.

• Install mingw32-gccs. With Arch linux you do Pacman -S mingw32-gcc (As root!). This will be installed in /usr/i486-mingw32
• download zlib the binary and developer files.
• If you want https support download openssl the binary and developer files.
• Extract to /usr/i486-mingw32 by: su to root
• cd /usr/i486-mingw32
• unzip ~renez/Downloads/zlib-1.2.3-bin.zip
• unzip ~renez/Downloads/zlib-1.2.3-lib.zip
• unzip ~renez/Downloads/openssl-0.9.8h-1-bin.zip
• unzip ~renez/Downloads/openssl-0.9.8h-1-lib.zip
• exit root
• download fossil for linux, and copy fossil to some where in your PATH directories maybe $HOME/bin.

Getting fossil source code

• cd ; mkdir fossil; cd fossil
• clone fossil repository. e.g. fossil clone http://www.fossil-scm.org/ myclone.fossil
• mkdir src; cd src
• fossil open ../myclone.fossil

Compiling fossil source code

• If you want https supports
  • make -f Makefile.w32 TCC="i486-mingw32-gcc -Os -Wall -DFOSSIL_I18N=0 -L/usr/i486-mingw32/lib -I/usr/i486-mingw32/include -DFOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 LIB="-lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 -lmingwex -lz -lws2_32"
• else make -f Makefile.w32 TCC="i486-mingw32-gcc -Os -Wall -DFOSSIL_I18N=0 -L/usr/i486-mingw32/lib -I/usr/i486-mingw32/include "

Distribution of cross compiled fossil.exe

Because you have linked against zlib and maybe ssl you need to include from /usr/i486-mingw32/bin zlib1.dll and, optional, libssl32.dll (and maybe also libeay32.dll)

testing the cross compiled fossil.exe

• copy fossil.exe and the dll's to a windows system. For testing purpose all in one directory. For production use a directory in your PATH
• fossil clone http://www.fossil-scm.org/ http.fossil
• If it has https support then fossil clone https://www.fossil-scm.org/ https.fossil
