-This file documents building the Bacula Win32 FD using the cross-tool
-on a Linux (possibly other Unix) system.
+This file documents building Bacula for Microsoft Windows using the
+cross-compiler tools on a Linux (or possibly another 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
+
+ bacula-top top level directory -- any name
+ bacula 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
+ win32 main directory where the Windows version is built.
-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:
+ dekpgs-mingw32 3rd Party Dependencies
+ bin --
+ include |
+ lib |
+ man | Created by script
+ nsis |-- ..../bacula/src/win32/build-dependencies
+ scons |
+ share |
+ src |
+ ssl --
+ vss
+ inc A copy of the Windows VSS/inc directory
- gcc
- g++
- wget
- texinfo
- bison
- man2html
+ cross-tools Cross compilation tools (gcc, g++, mingw, ...)
+ binutils-mingw32 --
+ gcc-mingw32 | Created by script
+ mingw32 |-- ..../bacula/src/win32/build-win32-cross-tools
+ mingw-utils |
+ source --
-and possibly other packages.
+One-time Setup
+==============
+
+If you're reading this file you've probably already enlisted in the CVS tree or
+extracted the contents of the source tar. If not you need to do that first.
+
+Once the source is on your system, change to the win32 directory
+ cd ..../bacula/src/win32
+
+Download and build the cross compiler tools
+ ./build-win32-cross-tools
+
+Download and build the 3rd party dependencies
+ ./build-dependencies
+
+You need the header files from the Microsoft VSS SDK. Unfortunately the SDK
+can only be downloaded and installed on a Windows system. You can find it on
+Microsoft's web-site at:
-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
+http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0b4f56e4-0ccc-4626-826a-ed2c4c95c871&DisplayLang=en
-The above only needs to be done once as well as long as the cross-tools or
-depkgs-win32 versions do not change.
+If that link doesn't work then go to http://www.microsoft.com and search for
+
+ "download volume shadow copy service sdk"
+
+Normally the files will be installed in:
+
+ c:/Program Files/VSSSDK72
+
+You only need to copy everything under the c:/Program Files/VSSSDK72/inc
+directory into ..../depkgs-mingw32/vss/inc.
+
+The above only needs to be done once unless we change the cross-tools
+or the dependencies versions. 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.
-Finally, to build the Win32 Bacula FD and bconsole, do the following:
+Building
+========
- cd bacula-source/src/win32
- make
+Finally, to build the Microsoft Windows version of Bacula, do the following:
-if all goes well, you will end with bacula-fd.exe, bconsole.exe,
-pthreadGCE.dll, and mingwm10.dll in the current directory.
+ cd ..../bacula/src/win32
+ make
-Items to be done:
+If all goes well, you will end with all the executables in the
+..../bacula/src/win32/release directory.
