Native Windows build

Open mkeeter opened this issue 9 years ago • 24 comments

I've started working on a native Windows build in this branch (instructions emerging here).

Current blockers:

  • libpng is being built without any symbols,
  • We're missing a few important symbols from python3.dll Both of these are causing the linker to fail.

@s7726, have you gotten any farther with a native build?

mkeeter avatar Jun 05 '15 23:06 mkeeter

I have not been able to get to this no.

I wish this build comes soon, i tried building one on xubuntu and it failed (i'm a windows user)

carlosjln avatar Jun 23 '15 02:06 carlosjln

I am interested in a Windows build too.

Betosaurus avatar Jul 28 '15 03:07 Betosaurus

Any news on a Windows binary? I'm using the v0.8.0 on a Xubuntu virtual machine, but that's a little sketchy.

DeadlyDad avatar Oct 13 '15 23:10 DeadlyDad

I am absolutely flat broke, but if someone either has or wants to make some money.....

DeadlyDad avatar Oct 14 '15 04:10 DeadlyDad

No news on Windows binaries. I've had a few pings from people interested, but no solid followup yet.

Any reason why you're still on 0.8.0? That's a pretty old release...

mkeeter avatar Oct 14 '15 13:10 mkeeter

  1. ...which is why the bounty link. Those who want it and have a few bucks to spare provide the financial incentive for someone to take the time to make it happen.
  2. I followed the compiling instructions that people put up in a VM Xubuntu environment, but could never get it to work, and, as I haven't done any real coding in years, couldn't figure out why it wouldn't. The only reason that I have been able to use Antimony is that someone posted a 0.8.0 .deb file. (Even that needed the compiling prerequisites to actually install it.) If someone would put together a .deb of the current release, that would be GREAT. BTW, is it possible to export a Collada or .obj file yet?

DeadlyDad avatar Oct 14 '15 17:10 DeadlyDad

I seeded an tiny bounty on Bountysource. Anyone else up for a buck or two?

TLC123 avatar Mar 03 '16 13:03 TLC123

Anybody willing to have mercy on us poor Windows shlubs? Some of just don't have the time to learn a complete coding environment to compile a single program.

DeadlyDad avatar Jan 02 '17 07:01 DeadlyDad

I had my annual fight against Windows; unlike in past years, I came out victorious:

Everything is merged into the develop branch, with instructions here. Building is a fairly hands-on process, but those instructions should be clear.

Building an installer is a whole different can of worms, and something I'll punt on for now.

@DeadlyDad – want to try following those instructions and see if you can get something running?

mkeeter avatar Jan 18 '17 02:01 mkeeter

Awesome! I'll give it a try sometime soon :)

Okay, clarified in 8fd10a9102f4d43afaab4add94dd183dcc9672ca

  1. Couldn't compile Boost. Help!

I'm not totally sure what's going on here, but it looks like you're in the wrong MSYS shell. You should be opening the "MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit" shell application, which has a prompt containing MINGW64:

  • My prompt is mkeeter@MATTHEWKEETF381 MINGW64 ~/boost_1_63_0
  • Yours is spamt@DESKTOP-D1M1OJ0 MSYS ~/boost_1_63_0

Can you try opening the correct shell and walking through the directions again?

mkeeter avatar Jan 22 '17 15:01 mkeeter

  1. Thanks.
  2. :facepalm: I didn't pay enough attention. It just popped up a console, and I assumed that it was the right one. Thanks for setting me right.
  3. Got much further, but there was a HUGE wall of text that looked like errors(?) as shown in the first quote, but seemed to produce... something.

When I do so, I get this list. Can you diff that with your results and see what's missing?

I think the important one that you're missing is make – can you install it (pacman -S make) and see if cmake becomes happy?

mkeeter avatar Feb 04 '17 15:02 mkeeter

Hi all. Im a Windows 10 user, with a enough clean system installation. I follow the instructions to build the Windows enviroment to work with Antimony, and after follow all the steps i could not compile the Antimony package.

The problem seemed to be the Boost package, so i found a package that, added to the list of packaged installed with pacman, make my antimony runs in windows.

I added this command:

Pacman -S base-devel

before the "clone and build antimony" part, and i could finally avoid the error after prompt "BOOST_ROOT=~/boost_1_63_0/ BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=~/boost_1_63_0/stage/ /mingw64/bin/cmake -G"MSYS Makefiles" .."

Hope this helps anyone.

eltercerlugar avatar Feb 05 '17 14:02 eltercerlugar

I got the same cmake configuration errors as DeadlyDad on the cmake step, and had to run pacman -s make as well. Not entirely successful yet, but still working on it. Really excited, thank you mkeeter.

seantapscott avatar Mar 07 '17 20:03 seantapscott

And its working. Not entirely sure what to do next, but boom!

seantapscott avatar Mar 07 '17 21:03 seantapscott

@seantapscott could you write instruction how to build, on clean PC, with all versions. I have tried many times and failed.
