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

99 * Notes about linphone-deps generation *
100 ******************************************************
102 Linphone-deps is a collection of linphone dependencies, that are for some of them difficult
103 to find as windows binaries.
104 These notes are useful if you want to upgrade part of the software that is included in the
105 linphone-deps packages.
107 List of software included in linphone-deps:
109 libeXosip2 (compiled)
110 libavcodec, libavutil, libavformat, libavdevice, libswscale (compiled, all these from ffmpeg)
111 libtheora (from the web)
112 libx264 (compiled from the version distributed from linphone's web site)
113 libogg (from the web)
114 libspeex, libspeexdsp (compiled, statically to workaround a dll-related crash)
115 libgnutls (from the web)
116 libgsm (from the web)
121 For every package compiled that goes into linphone-deps, .la files (libtool files) must be removed to avoid libtool errors.
122 When running "make install DESTDIR=<somepath>", somepath must be absolute and should not contain any ~ or space.
125 ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-memalign-hack --extra-cflags="-fno-common" --enable-gpl && make
126 make install DESTDIR=/home/<myuser>/ffmpeg-install
127 Copy to ~/ffmpeg-install/usr/local/* to linphone-deps/.
128 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.
130 - building libxml2: the binaries found on the internet are generated with MSVC++, and for obscure reason they are not suitable for building libsoup
131 (that requires libxml2).
132 ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static && make && make install DESTDIR=/home/<myuser>/libxml2-install
133 copy ~/libxml2-install/usr/local/* into linphone-deps/.
137 * download yasm normal version windows executable from yasm project page:
138 http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/wiki/Download
139 copy it as /usr/local/bin/yasm.exe
141 cd into x264/ dir then run:
142 ./configure --enable-pic
144 make install DESTDIR=/home/<myuser>/x264-install
145 then copy the content of ~/x264-install/usr/local/ into linphone-deps/.
147 - libgnutls (required for libsoup https support)
148 - download binary zip from http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win.org
149 - add to linphone-deps
151 - building libsoup (only required for buddylookup plugin)
152 - download source from gnome ftp (warning: at the time of the writing only version 2.26.x can compile with the
153 glib version supplied in the gtk-bundle, 2.27 requires a new version of glib)
154 - uncompress libgnutls zip in /
155 - make sure you have libxml2 installed in /
156 - apply a bugfix patch (fix gnutls support on windows, completely broken otherwise). The patch
157 is in linphone-deps/src, apply it this way:
160 patch -p0 < libsoup-gnutls-bugfix.patch
162 ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --disable-static
165 make install DESTDIR=/home/<myuser>/libsoup-install
166 - copy ~/libsoup-install/usr/* into linphone-deps/
168 Once you have everything in linphone-deps, remove .la files from lib:
