This directory <bacula-src>/src/win32 contains the build
environment for building the native Win32 Bacula File daemon,
the native Win32 bconsole program and the wx-console GUI console
program.

The directory structure is:

  bacula/src/win32      Makefiles and scripts
    baculafd            Visual Studio Files
      Release           Release objects, and bacula-fd.exe
       Debug            Debug object, and bacula-fd.exe produced
                           by VC++
    console             Build of console program and bconsole.conf
      Release           Release objects  and bconsole.exe
      Debug             Debug objects 
    wx-console          Buld of wx-console program and wx-console-conf
      Release           Release objects and wx-console.exe
      Debug             Debug objects.
    filed               Links to core filed code
    findlib             Links to core findlib code
    lib                 Links to core lib code

  depkgs-win32
    pthreads            The POSIX pthreads library (third party)
    zlib                The zlib library (third party)
    wx                  The wxWidgets library (third party)

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.

To build it:
- You may have to build wx with VC++ (as was the case for me).
  After starting VC++, use File->Open Workspace then
  open wx/src/wxWindows.dsw then use
  Build->Build All or Build->build wxmsw.lib should work too.
- cd bacula
  ./configure --enable-client-only
  cd src/win32
  make

That should be all there is too it. The winbacula-1.xx.y.exe should be
in the current directory.

The native Win32 interface code was written by:

   Christopher S. Hull, February 2004


For more details of building wx, see depkgs-win32/wx/docs/msw/install.txt

The easiest way to build this is to have a Visual Studio C++ 6.0. 
However, you can use the free Microsoft C++ compiler with a bit
of additional work.

Here are additional pointers on building wx-console supplied by Nicolas Boichat:


Tools I used (I think the 3 first one are included in VStudio) :
- VC++ toolkit : http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
- Windows Platform SDK :
   http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
   (Core SDK and Internet Development SDK)
- nmake (it got it with .Net Framework SDK)
- lib.exe found in the SDK-base/Bin/win64 directory (works fine
  on a 32 bit Windows).

Instructions if you want to build wx-console :
- wxWidgets 2.4.2 compilation
  + In include/wx/string.h, replace line 195 by
      #if defined(__VISUALC__) // && defined(_MT) && !defined(_DLL)
  + In src/common/string.cpp, replace line 167 by
      #if defined(__VISUALC__) // && defined(_MT) && !defined(_DLL)
  + Follow the instructions in docs/msw/install.txt
     (Visual C++ 6.0 compilation - Using makefiles)

- Make sure that the environment variables are set as:
  - PATH includes the directories bin of both the C++ Toolkit and the SDK
  - INCLUDE includes the directories include of both the C++ Toolkit and the SDK
  - LIB includes the directories Lib of both the C++ Toolkit and the SDK
    
- Compile bacula depkg-win32 with Visual Studio or try the
  supplied makefiles as described in the doc.

- Compile wx-console with nmake -f wx-console.mak in
  src/win32/wx-console

- Additional information on using the free Micrsosoft C++ see
  http://sapdb.2scale.net/moin.cgi/MS_20C_2b_2b_20Toolkit

NOTE! I (Kern) cannot build wxWindows with the Makefile -- I had to use                
VC Studio directly to do so following their instructions.

Getting all the environment variables setup properly is not always so obvious.
Here is what I have when I do a "set" in a rxvt window, in which I build
Bacula. Probably what is important are INCLUDE, LIB, PATH, and WXWIN, but note
there are a zillion other things set:
