2 Instructions to build Bacula with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (free version).
5 (Note: for the moment VSS support has been disabled, and this is not
6 the official way to build the released FD. See README.win32 for the
7 "official" instructions.)
9 What you need to download:
10 - Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (2MB + 66MB)
11 http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/download/
12 NOTE: You may want to download the whole CD for offline usage
13 instead of the web installer, as Microsoft will
14 start to charge for VC++ one year after the product launch
15 (launch was in November 2005, see VC++ FAQ).
17 - Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK Full Download (385MB)
18 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en

29 - Bacula source files:
30 + deppkgs-win32 from SF download page (extracted in <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32)
31 + latest source from the CVS (maybe you want to use mingw-msys to checkout them) (in <dev dir>/bacula)
33 Installation instructions:
34 - Visual C++ Express Edition Beta 2:
36 + When asked for Installation Options, only check "Graphical IDE" (MSDN Library is NOT needed).
37 + Remember where you install it (e.g. E:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\)
39 - Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK Full Download
40 + Run psdk-full.exe, type the directory where you downloaded the cab files.
41 + In a command prompt, run "PSDK-full.bat <temp directory>" (e.g. "PSDK-full.bat E:\temp")
42 + Run <temp directory>\setup.exe
43 + When asked for the installation directory, choose <vc++ install dir>\VC\PlatformSDK
44 (e.g. E:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\)
45 + When asked for components, you can safely remove documentation, samples, and all 64-bit tools and libs if you want to save disk space.
48 + extract them all in <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/gettext
51 + delete <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/wx directory
52 + run wxMSW-2.6.1-Setup.exe, and install it to <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/wx
56 + Start VC++ 2005 command prompt (in the start menu)
57 + run "<vc++ install dir>\VC\PlatformSDK\SetEnv.Cmd"
58 + cd <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/zlib
59 + run "nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc" (don't worry about the warnings)
60 + cd <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/pthreads
61 + run "nmake clean VCE" (again, don't worry about the warnings)
62 + (note pthreadVCE.dll has been created in this directory)
64 + Open <dev dir>\depkgs-win32\wx\build\msw\wx.dsw in VC++ 2005
65 + Click on "Yes to all"
66 + In the solution explorer, open core/Setup Headers/setup.h and add, at the end of the file (before the last #endif):
67 #if (_MSC_VER >= 1400) // VC8+
68 #pragma warning(disable : 4996) // Either disable all deprecation warnings,
69 // #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE // Or just turn off warnings about the newly deprecated CRT functions.
71 This is not absolutely necessary, but this will remove annoying warnings.
73 + Launch Build->Configuration Manager, then select "Unicode Release"
74 and close this window. Then run Build->Build Solution.
75 + If the build of wx-console fails, try removing the comments around
76 #ifndef (line 145) and #endif (line 147) in file:
77 <dev dir>/bacula/src/win32/compat/compat.h
78 + Repeat the operation for the "Unicode Debug" configuration if needed.
82 + To deploy bacula on Windows clients, create a setup using NSIS
83 (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System).
84 http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download
85 + Modify the default <dev dir>\bacula\src\win32\winbacula.nsi.in
86 script to include your own customizations.
87 Also change all references to msvcr71.dll to msvcr80.dll to
88 reflect the DLL used by VC++ 2005
89 + Open <dev dir>/bacula/src/win32/bacula.sln
90 + Launch Build->Configuration Manager, then select your configuration.
91 + Then run Build->Build Solution (this will build wx-console, bconsole and bacula-fd).
92 + Don't forget to copy pthreadVCE.dll from <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/pthreads and
93 iconv.dll and intl.dll from <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/gettext/bin to
94 the Release and Debug directories in src/win32/baculafd, src/win32/wx-console
95 and src/win32/console.
