This file documents building the Bacula Win32 FD using the cross-tool
on a Linux (possibly other Unix) system.

The basic directory structure you need to have is:
  bacula                     top level directory -- any name 
    bacula-source            top level Bacula source directory -- any name
      src
        win32                main directory where the Win32 FD is built.
          compat             Bacula win32 emulation lib for Unix calls

    dekpgs-win32             
       pthreads              The POSIX pthreads library (third party)
       zlib                  The zlib library (third party)
       wx                    The wxWidgets library (third party)
       openssl               The OpenSSL library (third party)

    cross-tools              Cross compliation tools (gcc, g++, mingw, ...)
       vss                   A copy of the Windows VSS directory
         inc
           ...
         lib
           ...

depkgs-win32 is released in a separate .tar.gz file that contains the
source for the above mentioned libraries needed to build the
Win32 Bacula.  It can be found in the Source Forge Bacula project
release section.  Docs is released as a separate tar file, which is
created from the bacula CVS docs project (module).

cross-tools is a directory that you create. There is a script, described
below, that will download all the necessary files and build them. You need
only run that script once, unless we move to a new version of the tools.
In addition, you must download the Microsoft VSS libraries, install them
on a Windows system. We are not allowed to distribute those files so you
must do it yourself.  Normally the files will be installed in:

   c:/Program Files/VSSSDK71

you need only copy everything under that directory into cross-tools/vss.
Note, only the inc and lib directories are needed (and I'm not even sure
that the lib directory is needed).  

Now, once you have the directory structure as defined above, you do
the following once:

  cd bacula/bacula-source
  ./configure (any standard set of config options the exact ones   
               are not important).
  cd src/win32
  ./build-win32-cross-tools

The above only needs to be done once unless we change the cross-tools 
version.  In general, you can run the script multiple times with no
problem. For it to work, you must have at a minimum the following:

  gcc
  g++
  wget
  texinfo
  bison
  man2html

and possibly other packages.

After building the cross-tools, you can proceed to build the depkgs-win32 
packages, which must use the cross-tools compiler.
 
   cd depkgs-win32
   ./build-mingw32

The above only needs to be done once as well as long as the cross-tools or
depkgs-win32 versions do not change.

Finally, to build the Win32 Bacula FD and bconsole, do the following:

   cd bacula-source/src/win32
   make

if all goes well, you will end with bacula-fd.exe, bconsole.exe,
pthreadGCE.dll, and mingwm10.dll in the current directory.
