[Spice-devel] Build Win 32 client for kraxel.fedorapeople.org

[bwellsnc]

Ok, I was able to build it using Visual Studio C++ Express 2008. Here is how
I did it:
1. Install Visual Studio C++ express 2008
2. Install python27 for windows and pyparsing parser for windows
3. Add the version of python to your PATH settings in windows.
4. Download spice, spice-protocol, and the unstable libs
5. extract these into a directory, they can be separate
6. Open the spice Visual Studio solution in visual studio C++
7. Right click on redc and select properties
8. Click the first general, and click the drop down by "Output Directory"
and select Inherit from Parent, do the same for Intermediate Directory
9. Under the C/C++ selection, change the "Additional Include Directories", I
placed mine in c:\spice_project, and my file entry looked like this:
.;..;"C:\Spice_Project\spice-0.5.3\common";"C:\Spice_Project\spice-protocol";"C:\Spice_Project\spice-0.5.3\common\win";"C:\Spice_Project\spice-0.5.3\common\win\my_getopt-1.5";"C:\Spice_Project\spice-libs\include";"C:\Spice_Project\spice-libs\include\pixman-1";"C:\Spice_Project\spice-libs\include\CEGUI-0.6.2"
10. Under Linker, change the "Additional Library Directories" to point to
the unstable library location.  My line looked like this:
"C:\Spice_Project\spice-libs\lib"
11. After I did these changes, I right clicked on "Solution redc" and
clicked clean solution, then rebuild solution.
12. There will be a complaint about afxres.h, change this to windows.h
13. Click re-build solution, there will be some complaints about vc100.pdb,
but these can be ignored.

If everything ran like mine, you should have a new directory under the spice
client section called Debug.  There will be a spicec.exe under that
directory.  You will now have to copy several .dll files from mingw32 to
where ever you copy the spicec.exe file to.  Here is the list of files that
are in my C:\SpiceClient Directory:
avcodec-51.dll
avcodec-51.lib
avutil-49.dll
avutil-49.lib
CEGUI.log
libcelt_0_5_1.dll
libcelt_0_5_1D.dll
libcrypto-10.dll
libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll
libjpeg-7.dll
libpixman-1-0.dll
libqcairo-2.dll
libssl-10.dll
pthreadGC2.dll
spicec.exe
zlib1.dll

You will notice a libcelt_0_5_1 and libcelt_0_5_1D, the one with the D is
for the Debug version, and when you try to build a Release version, you will
need a file without D.  If you need any help, just send me a quick not back.
 I would really like this built in mingw32, but for now this works.
