1
Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP, Win95/98/ME):
3
- Requires MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0.
5
Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 should not be distributed: They
6
depend on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part
7
of a Woe32 installation. You cannot distribute 'msvcr70.dll' with the
8
binaries - this would be a violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA.
9
You can distribute the binaries without including 'msvcr70.dll', but this
10
will cause problems for users that don't have this library on their system.
11
Therefore it is not recommended. This problem does not occur with MSVC 6.0
14
- Cannot build in a separate directory.
18
Make sure that the MSVC4.0 or MSVC5.0 or MSVC6.0 or MSVC7.0 utilities
19
("cl" etc.) are found in PATH. In a typical MSVC6.0 installation, this
20
can be achieved by running
21
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat
22
In a typical MSVC7.0 installation, it can be achieved by running
23
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat
25
Decide which compilation model you will use:
26
MFLAGS=-ML (the default) Single-threaded, statically linked - libc.lib
27
MFLAGS=-MT Multi-threaded, statically linked - libcmt.lib
28
MFLAGS=-MD Multi-threaded, dynamically linked - msvcrt.lib
30
You need GNU libiconv (version 1.9 or newer) installed under c:\usr. If
31
you haven't yet, build and install GNU libiconv (version 1.9 or newer)
32
using the same MFLAGS. Then come back to here, to build GNU gettext.
34
For shared library (DLL):
36
nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD
40
nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD
42
If you want to build both the shared and static library, you have to
43
unpack the gettext sources twice in different directories. Don't mix
44
the two formats; you cannot use the libintl.h generated for the static
45
library together with the shared library or vice versa.
51
Copy libintl.h to your header file repository.
52
Copy intl.lib to your library repository.
53
If you built for shared library, also copy intl.dll into one of
54
the directories listed in your PATH, or into the directory containing
55
the executable which shall make use of libintl.
59
nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory
61
nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory
