1. Qt SDK for Open Source C++ development on Windows. Includes Qt, MinGW, Qt Creator etc ~1.4 GB

2. Win32 Git - utilities for working with Git ~12 MB

3. OpenSSL - the archive with source code of the software package for encryption and cryptography (required for OpenSSL compiling) ~4 MB

4. Slik SVN - utilities for working with SVN ~5 MB

5. Aspell Libs for mingw - libraries for spell checking function ~65 MB

6. TortoiseSVN - extension for MS Windows Explorer (optional) ~20 MB

7. QConf - project configuration utility, compiled version qconf.exe can be found here) ~0.1 MB

UNSTABLE ccache (mirror)– a tool to speed up builds, more information is here

• Install the necessary tools that are listed above (items 1-5).
• Extract the folder QConf from the archive to C:\Qt
• Extract the folders *include* and lib from the archive lyx-windows-deps-mingw-small.zip to C:\Qt\2010.03\mingw
• Extract the file ccache.exe from the archive ccache-2.4-win32.zip to C:\Qt\2010.03\qt\bin
• Edit the file qmake.conf from C:\Qt\2010.03\qt\mkspecs\win32-g++:

from

QMAKE_CC		= gcc

QMAKE_CXX		= g++

to

QMAKE_CC		= ccache gcc

QMAKE_CXX		= ccache g++

• Under Computer Properties (Start → Settings → Control Panel → System Properties → Advanced → Environment Variables) add the path to the variable PATH (for all paths, in case you installed the software in a different folder, use the appropriate path to that folder):

C:\>path

PATH=C:\Qt\2010.03\qt\bin;C:\Qt\2010.03\mingw\bin;C:\OpenSSL\bin;C:\Program Files\SlikSvn\bin;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Qt\QConf;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\bin

as well as create these new environment variables (again, use the appropriate path if you installed the software somewhere else):

QMAKESPEC=win32-g++
QTDIR=C:\Qt\2010.03\qt
OPENSSLDIR=C:\OpenSSL
GITDIR=C:\Program Files\Git

Note: the updated variables will only be set for newly launched processes, ie you want to restart cmd in administrator mode (in extreme cases - reboot the system).

• Run a command line cmd.exe in administrator mode (Start → Run → cmd)
• Check for the correct installation paths and variables:

C:\>qmake -v
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.6.3 in C:/Qt/2010.03/qt/lib

C:\>echo %QMAKESPEC%
win32-g++

• Change the working folder to C:\Qt\2010.03\qt\examples\tutorials\addressbook\part1
• At the command prompt cmd.exe execute command qmake, and then execute command mingw32-make

C:\Qt\2010.03\qt\examples\tutorials\addressbook\part1>qmake

C:\Qt\2010.03\qt\examples\tutorials\addressbook\part1>mingw32-make

The result of the build of the release version of the test application can be found in the folder C:\Qt\2010.03\qt\examples\tutorials\addressbook\part1\release

A successful build of the test application means that Qt is correctly installed and ready for use.

• Extract the archive with the OpenSSL source code (from paragraph 8 of the required tools) to C:\OpenSSL
• In the file e_os2.h change the line 263:

from

#ifdef OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION
# define OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(type,name)			     \

to

#ifdef NEVER_OPENSSL_EXPORT_VAR_AS_FUNCTION
# define OPENSSL_IMPLEMENT_GLOBAL(type,name)			     \

• Rename the file from C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe to C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.ex_
• Run cmd.exe, change the working folder to C:\OpenSSL and start the process of compiling by the command ms\mingw32 (package of paragraph 4 must be installed):

Generating the DLLs and input libraries
Done compiling OpenSSL

• Rename the file back from C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.ex_ to C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe

The result of the build can be found in the folder C:\OpenSSL. There are compiled libraries libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll and other binary files in the folder C:\OpenSSL\out.

• Copy the library libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll and the contents of the folder C:\OpenSSL\out to the newly created folder C:\OpenSSL\bin
• Copy from the folder C:\OpenSSL\out the files libcrypto.a, libeay32.a, libssl32.a, libssl.a to the newly created folder C:\OpenSSL\lib\MinGW

The OpenSSL now is ready for linking with the Psi+.

• Download the script make-psiplus.cmd to new folder (for example, C:\psi-plus\build)
• Run the script make-psiplus.cmd from the folder C:\psi-plus\build and wait for the end of its execution

If the script worked successfully, then in the working directory *C:\psi-plus\build* there will be a compiled and ready to use binary file *psi.exe*

• Download the Psi source code from the official Psi git repository. To do this, run cmd.exe from folder psi-git and execute the following commands in order:

git clone git://git.psi-im.org/psi.git

cd psi

git submodule init

git submodule update

• Uncomment the 3rd line in the file psi-git/conf_windows.pri:

from

#CONFIG += qca-static

to

CONFIG += qca-static

• Uncomment the 26-th line:

from

#DEFINES += HAVE_ASPELL 

to

DEFINES += HAVE_ASPELL 

• In the file psi-git/third-party/qca/qca-ossl.pri rename the key -llibeay32 to -leay32
• To enable plugins, uncomment the shown line in the file psi-git/src/src.pro:

from

#CONFIG += psi_plugins

to

CONFIG += psi_plugins

• Optional: to switch from the Release to the Debug configuration it is necessary to change the second line in the file psi-git/conf_windows.pri

from

CONFIG += release

to

CONFIG += debug

• Optional: to enable automatic calling of the debug console at the startup of Psi+ add the following line to the file psi-git/src/src.pro:

CONFIG += console

• Optional: to enable WebKit support in Psi+ add the following line in the file psi-git/conf_windows.pri:

CONFIG += webkit

Before using GNU/Patch for Windows consider the following:

On MS-Windows, the patchfile must be a text file, i.e. CR-LF must be used as line endings.
A file with LF may give the error: “Assertion failed, hunk, file patch.c, line 343,” unless the option ‘–binary’ is given.

• Run cmd.exe in the folder psi-git and execute commands the following commands in order:

patch -p1 < 0000-psiplus-aboutdlg.diff
patch -p1 < 0010-less-includes.diff
patch -p1 < 0020-psi-iconsets.diff
patch -p1 < 0030-psi-webkit.diff
patch -p1 < 0040-psi-muc-topic.diff
patch -p1 < 0050-psi-receipts.diff
patch -p1 < 0060-psi-popup-avatar.diff
patch -p1 < 0070-psi-entity-time.diff
patch -p1 < 0080-psi-mood-icons.diff
patch -p1 < 0090-psi-muc-change-affiliation.diff
.....................

Note: Before downloading and applying patches, it is strongly recommended to check the file name with the current list.

• Open the folder psi-git with the downloaded Psi source code files
• In this folder execute the commands qmake psi.pro and mingw32-make (or make clean and make)

After some time (10 - 40 minutes), look for result of the compilation with the name psi.exe in the folder psi-git/src/release.

Note: the file size of psi.exe may be different (depend on the debug/release configuration type):

• For the release configuration the file size can range from 5 MB to 12 MB
• For the debug configuration the file size can range from 30 MB to 60 MB

For example, consider the compiling of following plugin.

*_Note:_* For a correct plugin compilation one must first download and patch the Psi source code

• Download the plugin source code from here
• Copy the source code files in the folder psi-git/src/plugins/generic/conferenceloggerplugin
• Execute the command qmake conferenceloggerplugin.pro
• Execute the command mingw32-make -f makefile.release

C:\psi-plus\build\psi\src\plugins\generic\conferenceloggerplugin>qmake conferenceloggerplugin.pro

C:\psi-plus\build\psi\src\plugins\generic\conferenceloggerplugin>mingw32-make -f makefile.release
