Instructions to build Bacula with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (free version).
---

(Note: for the moment VSS support has been disabled, and this is not
the official way to build the released FD.  See README.win32 for the
"official" instructions.)

- Bacula source files:
  + deppkgs-win32 from SF download page (extracted in <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32)
  + latest source from the CVS (maybe you want to use mingw-msys to checkout them) (in <dev dir>/bacula)

Installation instructions:
 - Visual C++ Express Edition Beta 2:
   + Run vcsetup.exe.
   + When asked for Installation Options, only check "Graphical IDE" (MSDN Library is NOT needed).
   + Remember where you install it (e.g. E:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\)

 - Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK Full Download
   + Run psdk-full.exe, type the directory where you downloaded the cab files.
   + In a command prompt, run "PSDK-full.bat <temp directory>" (e.g. "PSDK-full.bat E:\temp")
   + Run <temp directory>\setup.exe
   + When asked for the installation directory, choose <vc++ install dir>\VC\PlatformSDK
     (e.g. E:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\)
   + When asked for components, you can safely remove documentation, samples, and all 64-bit tools and libs if you want to save disk space.

 - gettext packages
   + extract them all in <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/gettext

 - wxWidgets for Win32
   + delete <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/wx directory
   + run wxMSW-2.6.1-Setup.exe, and install it to <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/wx

Build instructions:
 - deppkgs:
   + Start VC++ 2005 command prompt (in the start menu)
   + run "<vc++ install dir>\VC\PlatformSDK\SetEnv.Cmd"
   + cd <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/zlib
   + run "nmake -f win32\Makefile.msc" (don't worry about the warnings)
   + cd <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/pthreads
   + run "nmake clean VCE" (again, don't worry about the warnings)
   + (note pthreadVCE.dll has been created in this directory)
 - wxWidgets:
   + Open <dev dir>\depkgs-win32\wx\build\msw\wx.dsw in VC++ 2005
   + Click on "Yes to all"
   + In the solution explorer, open core/Setup Headers/setup.h and add, at the end of the file (before the last #endif):
#if (_MSC_VER >= 1400) // VC8+
#pragma warning(disable : 4996) // Either disable all deprecation warnings,
// #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE // Or just turn off warnings about the newly deprecated CRT functions.
#endif // VC8+
     This is not absolutely necessary, but this will remove annoying warnings.

   + Launch Build->Configuration Manager, then select "Unicode Release"
     (when you do this VC++ is busy and inactive for a little moment, don't worry about it .-))
     and close this window. Then run Build->Build Solution.
   + Repeat the operation for the "Unicode Debug" configuration if needed.

 - Bacula:
   + Open <dev dir>/bacula/src/win32/bacula.sln
   + Launch Build->Configuration Manager, then select your configuration.
   + Then run Build->Build Solution (this will build wx-console, bconsole and bacula-fd).
   + Don't forget to copy pthreadVCE.dll from <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/pthreads and
     iconv.dll and intl.dll from <dev dir>/deppkgs-win32/gettext/bin to
     the Release and Debug directories in src/win32/baculafd, src/win32/wx-console
     and src/win32/console.
