43 #Remove the special stdint.h and inttypes.h included in linphone-deps: it is for MSVC only.
44 #Mingw will use the one in /mingw/include
45 rm /include/stdint.h /include/inttypes.h
47 #Remove libgcc specific libraries, only needed for MSVC:
48 rm /lib/libgcc.a /lib/libmingw32.a /lib/libmingwex.a
50 #Remove libintl from gtk, we don't need it and it conflicts with the one supplied by mingw.
54 * Download and install Inno Setup Compiler (required only if you run 'make setup.exe'). Add it to your windows Path environment variable.
56 Get Linphone source code
57 ************************
59 Install msys-git from (http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/)
61 It is recommended that you create a directory somewhere with a path without any spaces or ~ characters, for example
63 Within msys-git bash, do
65 git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/linphone.git --recursive
71 WARNING: During the build, windows might slow down suddenly. Using ctl+alt+del to start the windows system monitor,
72 you might see a process 'LVpSRV.exe' or something like this that eats 90% of cpu.
73 Kill it. Don't know what it is, but once killed, windows runs normally.
75 #run autogen.sh after a git checkout or update
77 ./configure --prefix=/opt/linphone --enable-shared --disable-static
79 #will install to /opt/linphone, required for compilation of plugins.
81 #make a binary zip of linphone
83 #additionally you can make binary installer if you have Inno Setup 5 installed in its default path
85 #now you're done, you have a fresh linphone windows installer in the current directory.
88 cd mediastreamer2/plugins/msx264
90 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/linphone/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --prefix=/opt/linphone --enable-shared --disable-static
91 #make a binary zip of this plugin
96 #the buddylookup plugin enables lookup of buddies in a remote database using xml-rpc over http/https.

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