# How to build Widelands with !MinGW64 on Windows ¶

This is currently a work in progress! ¶

[TOC] ¶

# Download files ¶
## Nuwen's !MinGW64 distro ¶

Download the main distro from [http://nuwen.net/mingw.html](http://nuwen.net/mingw.html) and the MSYS package: ¶

* [mingw-12.2.exe](http://nuwen.net/files/mingw/mingw-12.2.exe) ¶
* [msys-10.4.7z](http://nuwen.net/files/mingw/msys-10.4.7z) ¶

## SDL2 source packages ¶
* [SDL2](https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.3.zip) ¶
* [SDL2_net](https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/) ¶
* [SDL2_mixer](http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/) ¶
* [SDL2_image](https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/) ¶


## Additional libraries ¶
* [gzip](ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.6.tar.gz) ¶
* [libvorbis](http://xiph.org/vorbis/) ¶
* [libogg](http://xiph.org/ogg/) ¶
* [libiconv](ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.14.tar.gz) ¶
* [gettext](ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.19.4.tar.gz) ¶
* [freetype](http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-doc-2.5.5.tar.gz) ¶

# Building all libraries ¶

* Use the self-extracting installer of Nuwen's and extract the distro to *C:\\MinGW* ¶
* Extract MSYS manually to *c:\\msys-10.4* ¶
* Open the distro window with *C:\\MinGW\\open_distro_window.bat* ¶
* Change the directory with "cd c:\\msys-10.4" and call *extract.bat* ¶
* Start MSYS with *msys.bat* ¶

You are now in a linux like shell, so the command syntax is a bit different than normal windows commands ¶

* Extract all source packages to *c:\\msys-10.4\\home\\<username>\\* ¶
* Build each package with "./configure --prefix=/c/mingw && make install" ¶
* To get no errors when compiling gettext, you'll have to compile gzip on your own. But gzip1.6 does only compile on mingw64 with two patches applied: ¶

# Getting Widelands source code ¶

# Building Widelands ¶

We will build ninja in the normal distro window and not in the MSYS shell: ¶

* Switch to the directory you'll want to build widelands in, e.g. *C:\\wl_build* ¶
* run CMAKE "cmake -G Ninja -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\\Mingw c:\\bzr\\widelands\\trunk" ¶
* Just call "ninja" to build now
