[Simulavr-devel] Building for Windows

[E. Weddington]

Ted,

With simulavr 0.1.1.20030915 this is how I build it for Windows.

(Watch out for email wrapping on the bash commands.)

I didn't see a "Building SimulAVR" section in the docs so it's up to you 
how you want to add this in.

----------------------------------
To build simulavr for Windows requires the use of Cygwin
<http://www.cygwin.com/>
Specifically, this was built using the Previous package of Cygwin. In the 
Cygwin installer, select the Prev radio button up top when installing the 
packages. This should install cygwin 1.3.22-1, from the Base tree in the 
Cygwin setup.

Get simulavr from anonymous CVS as explained on the simulavr project web 
page. Then, in the simulavr project directory:

export $PREFIX=<your installation directory here>
./bootstrap
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --datadir=$PREFIX --disable-tests 
        --enable-pdf CFLAGS='-static'
make
make install

This will create simulavr.exe, simulavr-vcd.exe, and simulavr-disp.exe. All 
three applications will require cygwin1.dll to execute. In Cygwin, you can 
check to see what, if any, DLLs are required of an executable by using the 
program cygcheck.exe that comes with Cygwin. For example if you cd to the 
$PREFIX/bin directory after building the project, and execute

$ cygcheck ./simulavr*.exe

You should get something like (depending on where your OS is installed):

.\simulavr-disp.exe
  .\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL

.\simulavr-vcd.exe
  .\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL

.\simulavr.exe
  .\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
      C:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL
