This README is +intended for those who needs to compile the Toolkit for native WIN32 +systems. The Toolkit can be compiled for native WIN32 systems using +generally any compiler. However, the compilation environment is designed +to currently work with the MSVC++ (version 6.0) and with the MinGW (under +cygwin). + + +Compiling SILC Toolkit with MSVC++ +================================== + +The MSVC++ workspace and project files resides in the win32/ subdirectory +of the Toolkit package. The `silc.dsw' file is the workspace file that +automatically supports compiling the Toolkit and to generate the SILC Core +DLL and SILC Client DLL libraries. + +The SILC Core DLL is named as libsilc and will generate libsilc.dll, and +the SILC Client DLL is named as libsilcclient and will generate +libsilcclient.dll. Both of the projects also automatically generates +libsilc.lib and libsilcclient.lib import libraries that may be used to +link against a client application. + +Generally you do not need to do any specific settings to compile the +Toolkit. However, you must compile the libsilc before compiling the +libsilclient, since the SILC Client DLL depends on the SILC Core DLL. + +You may compile the DLLs as either Release or Debug version. Just select +the preferred method of compilation. The Debug version will compile the +SILC Toolkit with debugging which you can conditionally use in your client +application by setting the global variable silc_debug to TRUE or FALSE. + + +Compiling SILC Toolkit with MinGW +================================= + +To compile the Toolkit with MinGW you first need to install the cygwin and +the MinGW into your system. After that you can just normally give the +./configure with the following option: + + ./configure --with-win32 + +If you want to compile debug version give also the --enable-debug option +to the ./configure. After configuration the source tree is ready for +compilation which you can simply start by giving the command: + + make + +Note that some of the subdirectories in the Toolkit will not compile under +WIN32 (namely the silcd/ that includes the SILC Server). For this reason +it is suggested that you will give the command make in the lib/ directory +to compile the DLLs. Thus, you should give the following commands after +giving the ./configure. + + cd lib + make + +After compilation there should be silc.dll and silcclient.dll files in +the lib/ directory. It will also generate silc.lib and silcclient.lib +files for linking against a client application. -- 2.24.0
