Instructions for building BitlBee on Windows ================================================ 1. Download the latest version using bzr (http://www.bazaar-ng.org/): H:\> bzr branch http://win32.bitlbee.org/bzr bitlbee-win32 ... 2. Download and install the required development files: from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.8/win32/ - glib - glib-dev - libiconv (in dependencies/) - gettext (in dependencies/) from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ - nss (in security/nss/) - nspr (in nspr/) glib and gettext are only required for actually running BitlBee - building should work fine without them. 3. Set the following variables in Makefile.settings, if you don't have the libraries above installed in the default directories searched by MSVC: - GLIB_DIR - NSS_DIR - NSPR_DIR 4. Build: H:\BitlBee> nmake /f win32.mk ... 5. To build setup files, compile the bitlbee.iss file using the Inno Setup program (available from www.jrsoftware.org).
