  • Windows compiling

    From Sean Rima@2:263/1 to All on Fri Feb 25 16:43:20 2022
    I have a windows box, for studies, and was wondering what was the best way to compile. There is no real mention of Windows in the ascii.doc file

    Compilation on Windows works with MINGW64 compiler and Strawberry Perl, but documentation is not ready yet, sorry. You may take Husky already compiled using MSVC 10 with ActiveState Perl 5.16 here:

    You don't need to install a separate MINGW compiler. It is inside the Strawberry Perl installation. You have to execute all commands in the Git Bash window of Git for Windows. The first command is

    curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huskyproject/huskybse/master/script/init_build

    Here "O" is the capital letter. Now you run init_build script if ~/husky directory is not occupied.

    ./init_build

    After that you may open C:\Users\your_name\husky\huskymak.cfg in your favorite editor and change there something you want to change. It is optional if you installed Strawberry Perl in the default directory. To build Husky, run

    cd ~/husky
    ./build.sh

    The result of the build will be in ~/husky/hpt/Build (in fact C:\Users\your_name\husky\hpt\Build), ~/husky/htick/Build and so on. The "install" part is not implemented yet.

    To delete all files produced during the build, run

    make distclean

    I keep getting an error that make doesn't exist. As I say, I tried and failed to install mingw64. The installer doesnt find the files it needs

    First of all uninstall mingw64. You don't need it, because it is inside both Strawberry Perl and Git for Windows. We'll use it from Strawberry Perl. After that please install Chocolatey package manager from https://chocolatey.org/ and then run Windows PowerShell as administrator and in the window run

    choco install make

    If Strawberry Perl is not yet installed, install it by running

    choco install strawberryperl

    If git is not yet installed, install it by running

    choco install git
