46 * Download and install Inno Setup Compiler (required only if you run 'make setup.exe'). Add it to your windows Path environment variable.
48 Get Linphone source code
49 ************************
51 Install msys-git from (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/). During installation you are asked to make a choice about how line endings are treated by git.
52 Choose "Checkout line endings as they are, commit as they are". THIS CHOICE IS VERY IMPORTANT. OTHERS BREAK AUTOMAKE.
54 It is recommended that you create a directory somewhere with a path without any spaces or ~ characters, for example
56 Within msys-git bash, do
58 git clone git://git.linphone.org/linphone.git --recursive
64 WARNING: During the build, windows might slow down suddenly. Using ctl+alt+del to start the windows system monitor,
65 you might see a process 'LVpSRV.exe' or something like this that eats 90% of cpu.
66 Kill it. Don't know what it is, but once killed, windows runs normally.
68 #Compile and install tunnel
69 cd tunnel && ./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/opt/linphone && make && make install

72 ./configure --prefix=/opt/linphone --enable-shared --disable-static
74 #will install to /opt/linphone, required for compilation of plugins.
76 #make a binary zip of linphone
78 #additionally you can make binary installer if you have Inno Setup 5 installed in its default path
80 #now you're done, you have a fresh linphone windows installer in the current directory.

101 * Notes about linphone-deps generation *
102 ******************************************************
104 Linphone-deps is a collection of linphone dependencies, that are for some of them difficult
105 to find as windows binaries.
106 These notes are useful if you want to upgrade part of the software that is included in the
107 linphone-deps packages.
109 List of software included in linphone-deps:
111 libeXosip2 (compiled)
112 libavcodec, libavutil, libavformat, libavdevice, libswscale (compiled, all these from ffmpeg)
113 libtheora (from the web)
114 libx264 (compiled from the version distributed from linphone's web site)
115 libogg (from the web)
116 libspeex, libspeexdsp (compiled, statically to workaround a dll-related crash)
117 libgnutls (from the web)
118 libgsm (from the web)
123 For every package compiled that goes into linphone-deps, .la files (libtool files) must be removed to avoid libtool errors.
124 When running "make install DESTDIR=<somepath>", somepath must be absolute and should not contain any ~ or space.
127 ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-memalign-hack --extra-cflags="-fno-common" --enable-gpl && make
128 make install DESTDIR=/home/<myuser>/ffmpeg-install
129 Copy to ~/ffmpeg-install/usr/local/* to linphone-deps/.
130 Copy also all *.dll.a files from the build tree to lib/ directort of linphone-deps. These are the implibs necessary to link a program against the dlls.
132 - building libxml2: the binaries found on the internet are generated with MSVC++, and for obscure reason they are not suitable for building libsoup
133 (that requires libxml2).
134 ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static && make && make install DESTDIR=/home/<myuser>/libxml2-install
135 copy ~/libxml2-install/usr/local/* into linphone-deps/.
139 * download yasm normal version windows executable from yasm project page:
140 http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/wiki/Download
141 copy it as /usr/local/bin/yasm.exe
143 cd into x264/ dir then run:
144 ./configure --enable-pic
146 make install DESTDIR=/home/<myuser>/x264-install
147 then copy the content of ~/x264-install/usr/local/ into linphone-deps/.
149 - libgnutls (required for libsoup https support)
150 - download binary zip from http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win.org
151 - add to linphone-deps
153 - building libsoup (only required for buddylookup plugin)
154 - download source from gnome ftp (warning: at the time of the writing only version 2.26.x can compile with the
155 glib version supplied in the gtk-bundle, 2.27 requires a new version of glib)
156 - uncompress libgnutls zip in /
157 - make sure you have libxml2 installed in /
158 - apply a bugfix patch (fix gnutls support on windows, completely broken otherwise). The patch
159 is in linphone-deps/src, apply it this way:
162 patch -p0 < libsoup-gnutls-bugfix.patch
164 ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-static
167 make install DESTDIR=/home/<myuser>/libsoup-install
168 - copy ~/libsoup-install/usr/* into linphone-deps/
170 Once you have everything in linphone-deps, remove .la files from lib:
