Re: Compiling Amaya on Windows

Thank Irene for the quick response!

I have read more messages posted to this list and got 9.55-pre3 to compile. (My environment is Windows 2000 Professional, VC++ 6.0 with SP6 applied.) I  had to do a few things to go through the compilation.

1. For freetype, by default I also got freetype/objs/feetype2110ST_D.lib instead of freetype2110_D.lib, as mentioned in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-amaya-dev/2006Nov/0000.html
I found that I could get freetype2110_D.lib by clicking Build->Batch Build, checking "Win32 Debug", and clicking Build on the dialog.

2. Line 105 in WindowsWX/amaya.dsp is
SOURCE=../amaya/wxdialog/amaya.rc
and causes a problem.  Following the discussion in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-amaya-dev/2006Nov/0000.html
I deleted this line the copy of the file I used.

3. There was a problem compiling Amaya/thotlib/image/jpeghandler.c, as mentioned in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-amaya-dev/2006Oct/0045.html
I had to change line 24 of file wxWidgets/src/jpeg/jpeglib.h from
#include "../src/jpeg/jconfig.h"
into 
#include "jconfig.h"

4. For idn, two relatively simple ways seemed to make libwww compile.
(A) Changing file WindowsWX/libwww/libwww.dsp by deleting from lines 44 and 67 '/D "LIBWWW_USEIDN"' and all the lines with 'SOURCE=......libwwwmodulesidn'
(B) Downloading idnkit-1.0-src from
http://www.nic.ad.jp/ja/idn/idnkit
and copying the 32 '.h' files from 'include' and the 32 '.c' files from 'lib' into libwww/modules/idn.  Similar to the way discussed in 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-amaya-dev/2006Nov/0002.html
from file idn/util.c, if I comment out most of the implementation of idn__util_getregistrystring so that it just returns 0 and remove line
#include <windows.h>
then libwww compiles fine.  I have not tested if the functionality provided by idn works.

I am using the binary I compiled to browse this list now.
