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.
49 nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install
51 nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD install
55 Complete and automatic installation:
57 nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory
59 nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MD install PREFIX=InstallBaseDirectory
61 By default, the compiled package is installed under c:\usr. You can
62 specify a different directory by giving the installation base directory
63 in a PREFIX=... option in the install step. (DON'T give the PREFIX
64 already in the build step! This won't work.) You can also omit the
65 PREFIX=... option, thus installing everything under c:\usr, and then
66 move the installed package as a whole from c:\usr to a different
