actually they're both platform independent; it's true that they rely
on a unix-like system for building, but in windows you have both
cygwin and mingw/msys for that. Indeed there's a windows build of
source-highlight that I did with mingw:
http://www.lorenzobettini.it/software/source-highlight/
Actually I want to build it on my own. I need a mingw build
compatible with the mingw Version of Qt 4.5 and a Visual Studio build
for Version 2005, 2008 and soon 2010.
So what I really need is a solution to build the libary on windows on
my own.
What I do not understand in the first place is how I run the
configure script without sh.
Hi Matthias
if you want to build it yourself then you also need a shell to run
configure, and if you use mingw you'd need msys (which provides a
shell and other tools); but to build source-highlight you also need
the boost library for mingw.
Thus, if you haven't already setup such an environment mingw/msys it
might take some time.
I was trying to set up a system with msys, but did not have success so
far. However what bothers me most is the compilation with msvc.
The only build step I could find is this one:
http://folti.blogs.balabit.com/2009/08/compiling-autoconfmake-using-sources.html
which is really a way to fight around all problems of autoconf on
non.unix platform issues and not a clean solution.
I wonder how difficult building of source-highlight really is. I think
putting all cpp+h files in a qmake project costs me only a few minutes.
Only the boost libary might be a problem since it does not build as a
shared libary on mingw.
Hi Matthias
probably I missed something: do you use mingw or msvc? As for msvc I
cannot tell, since I basically don't use those build tools.
As for boost, why do you actually need a dll? can't you just use a
static build of boost, like the one I inserted in the archive?
Have you tried to use the binary archive I told you about yesterday?
http://gdn.dsi.unifi.it/~bettini/binaries/source-highlight-qt-win32-0.2.tar.gz
If you need a version which is compatible with mingw and qt, then this
version should do, since those are the tools I've built them with.
As for using qmake for source-highlight (and most importantly
source-highlight-qt) it's a good idea. Note that I'm not willing to
abandon autotools, but I think I can also provide the .pro files to be
able to build them with qmake. Note that in that case it would only be
a build of the library and binary and not of the documentation and
related stuff.
hope to hear from you soon
cheers
Lorenzo
