Build xxdiff for Windows
============================
:Author: Martin Blais <blais@furius.ca>
:Date: 2005-06-03
:Abstract:
Notes on how to build xxdiff for Windows.
Note
----
There is a buggy but mostly working build available from the download area.
Building under Windows
----------------------
This has been done with success by one of my users (suamor at
sourceforge.net).
Here is what I was advising before his contribution:
- install Cygwin
- install qt non-commercial version
- use nmake.exe
- you'll have to hack the makefile produced by tmake, it's not working.
- you'll have to add DEFINES += QT_DLL to the compilation options
I think this is how he compiled it:
- try using contrib/xxdiff.pro.windows, and run qmake on it
- tweak until it works.
Please refrain from asking Windows-related questions to me, it's and
endless, complicated task, and frankly, unless you've already figured
out the problems I'm not really interested. I don't even have a
Windows box to test it on and I probably won't have one for a good
while (hopefully I'll never have to have one). If you want to compile
under Windows, you've got to be somewhat of a hacker, and then I'm
sure you don't need me for that. You're on your own. Besides, I
wouldn't have the answer anyway. I have already wasted countless hours
trying to make this work under Windows, and although I was pretty damn
close, I never quite finished it. Maybe the tools will mature and it
will be easier one day.
However, I will happily include any contributions in the source tree
that would help others make this happen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About xxdiff port to cygwin::
I wanted to let you know that the current version of your xxdiff program
has been ported to Cygwin, with Qt 3.2.3 (gcc3, from the KDE-Cygwin
project). It is available at my cygwin-ports project on sf.net.
I noted that in your README.build file is somewhat outdated in respect
to Cygwin. xxdiff builds fine with gcc-3.3.1, and in general should
build on Cygwin 1.5.x with the current Qt3 as if on *NIX.
For now tmake needs to be downloaded from trolltech, as I haven't
packaged it yet. TMAKEPATH will need to be set, of course.
In any case, I have used xxdiff a number of times and it has been
working quite well. Thank you for your work on this program!

Hi, I enjoy (means can't deal without) xxdiff, since I don't work
anymore on SGI were I loved xdiff. This week end, I compiled it under
win XP / Cygwin. This is the way I did it, if you want to add this in
your README.
Cheers.

Needs:
- binary, gcc2 compiled qt-3.0.4 (qt_304_b1.tar.bz2)
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kde-cygwin
- tmake > 1.7 (www.trolltech.com)
- gcc-2 (v2.95.3 for me): anyway, xxdiff doesn't compile with gcc 3.3.1
Do this:
- setenv TMAKEPATH /home/alex/tmake-1.11/lib/cygwin-g++
- setenv QTDIR /home/alex/qt3
- The Qt lib seems to have been compiled without large file option,
leading to undefined symbols. -> patch the standard includes just
for the compilation time:
- /usr/include/cygwin/config.h Put into comment::
#define __LARGE64_FILES 1
#define __CYGWIN_USE_BIG_TYPES__ 1
- /usr/include/sys/config.h Put into comment::
#define __LARGE64_FILES 1
- cd xxdiff-2.9.2/src
- xxdiff.pro patch to be used with tmake 1.11.
Put into comment::
linux-g++:TMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -DCOMPILER_GNU
osf1-g++:TMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -DCOMPILER_GNU
(these lines caused tmake syntax errors for me)
- /home/alex/tmake-1.11/bin/tmake xxdiff.pro > Makefile
- Correct the generated makefile:
- replace gcc2 with gcc-2 in CC definition
doesn't compile with gcc 3.3.1)
- remove -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT in CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS definition
- replace -lqt-mt with -lqt, and remove -lpthread in LIBS definition
(qt_304_b1.tar.bz2 doesn't contain the multithread version of Qt lib)
- make
- add qt-3.dll in the path::
setenv PATH "$PATH":$QTDIR/bin
* enjoy.
and remember to get back the standard includes to their original state.
Note: xxdiff.pro.windows used with qmake just creates a mess which
doesn't compile:
- missing include paths -> undefined functions
- no flex and bison compilation handling
- ...
Building under .NET
-------------------

To build xxdiff with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, the following
changes are needed:
1) Copy win32-msvc rules and rename them win32-msvc.net.
2) Add -EHsc to compiler flags.
3) Uncomment out /NODEFAULTLIBS ...
4) Comment out the min, max, and getenv definitions in winfixes/winfixes.h.
The resulting executable will link, but will fail at run-time inside
of Qt. If you can make it work, please contact me and I will include
the necessary fixes.
