¶ Download
The precompiled external libraries can be downloaded from
- Todo
¶ Compile (optional)
Notes for manually compiling follow
Work from the "VS2013 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" command line where necessary
Start at step 13, then start from 1 while that is running
Sign using timestamp server http://timestamp.comodoca.com/authenticode
¶ 1) zlib (dependency of curl)
Download http://zlib.net/zlib128.zip
Use CMake to build
¶ 2) openssl (dependency of curl)
Follow instructions under INSTALL.W64 "To build for Win64/x64"
¶ 3) curl
Download http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.43.0.zip
Use CMake to build
Verify that it's using your zlib and openssl in the CMake configuration
¶ 4) libjpeg
Use CMake version from https://github.com/LuaDist/libjpeg
Build static (only used for CBitmap)
¶ 5) libpng
CMake
Verify ZLIB_ (in advanced)
Build static (only used for CBitmap)
¶ 6) (lib)iconv 
Get from https://github.com/pffang/libiconv-for-Windows because GNU being shitty
Use VS2013 sln
Rename target to just iconv instead of libiconv
Don't forget set to x64
¶ 7) libxml2 
Need to copy configure.in from 2.9.1 to latest, because they deleted it for some reason
cd win32
cscript configure.js iconv=yes zlib=yes lib=U:\2015q3-external-vs2013-x64\zlib\lib;U:\2015q3-external-vs2013-x64\iconv\lib include=U:\2015q3-external-vs2013-x64\zlib\include;U:\2015q3-external-vs2013-x64\iconv\include debug=no
Hack multiple dirs in generated config.msvc to add libiconv lib and include dirs
nmake /f Makefile.msvc
(With 2.9.3 under VS2015 is compiling without needing hacks )
¶ 8) freetype
Easy CMake
¶ 9) squish
Open the VS sln
Build Release x64
Also build Debug version squishd
¶ 10) libogg
libogg_dynamic.sln
¶ 11) libvorbis
vorbis_dynamic.sln
Modify to point to libogg output directory
¶ 12) lua
Use latest 5.2 from http://www.lua.org/ftp/
Get CMakeLists.txt etcetera from https://github.com/LuaDist/lua/archive/master.zip
Or for 5.3 follow http://blog.spreendigital.de/2015/01/16/how-to-compile-lua-5-3-0-for-windows/
¶ 13) boost (dependency of luabind)
bootstrap.bat
.\b2
¶ 14) luabind
Download luabind (rpavlik fork for 5.2 compatibility)
CMake
Need to build separate Debug as well, rename to luabindd
Or for 5.3 use http://hg.kervala.net/luabind
¶ 15) sql
Get mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-src
CMake
Need to hack it a bit to use proper zlib and proper openssl
Make sure zlib.dll is in system path during build for GenError to work
