Man, I could NEVER EVER have done that without your extensive explanation. Thanks for your effort.
I've compiled the Win32 analog version and put it online for general use: http://www.xs4all.nl/~jfeelder/downloads/analog.exe Best of all, it works! :) Jeroen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aengus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Support for analog web log analyzer" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 1:43 AM Subject: [analog-help] Compiling Analog on Windows | As Stephen pointed to the tools that he uses to compile Analog for Windows a | couple of months ago, when the question of adding Windows Vista to the | recognized operating systems, I decided to try to make the modifications | suggested by Jon Harman at that time. | | The process is pretty straightforward, but utterly devoid of useful | documentation for anyone coming from a Windows environment. | | First, you need to download some gzipped "tarballs" - despite the fact the | these tools are written specifically for the Windows platform, they don't | use Windows packaging, so you'll need a utility that will decompress .gz | files, and then open tarballs. So start your downloads with 7-Zip | (http://www.7-zip.org/), a free software file archiver tool for Windows | http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z442.exe?download. | | Run 7z442.exe to install 7-Zip. | | Then download the MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) tools to compile Analog | | You need 4 of these: | MinGW Runtime: | http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz?download | Windows API: | http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/w32api-3.6.tar.gz?download | binutils: | http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1.tar.gz?download | GCC: | http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz?download | | Extract all of the above to C:\MinGW | | (in 7-Zip, double-click on the tar.gz file to see the .tar "tarball". | Double-click on the .tar file to see the contents. Select everything in the | tarball, and hit the Extract icon. Tell 7-Zip to extract to C:\MinGW. | binutils and GCC have some name collisions, but just let 7-Zip overwrite the | existing files). | | C:\>dir C:\MinGW /ogd | Volume in drive C has no label. | Volume Serial Number is 1UB5-431A | | Directory of C:\MinGW | | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> . | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> .. | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> bin | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> doc | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> include | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> info | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> lib | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> libexec | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> man | 01/13/2007 06:43 PM <DIR> mingw32 | 12/18/2000 04:47 PM 17,992 COPYING | 01/29/2001 08:30 AM 26,430 COPYING.LIB | 2 File(s) 44,422 bytes | 10 Dir(s) 81,292,320,760 bytes free | | Now you need to install a shell that you can use MinGW under: | | Download MSys from http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download | | Run MSYS-1.0.10.exe and follow the prompts: | | This will install "Minimal SYStem". Do you wish to continue? (Yes) | Welcome to the "Minimal SYStem" Setup Wizard .... (Next) | License Agreement (Yes) | Release Notes (Next) | Select Destination Directory (C:\msys\1.0) (Next) | Installation for i386 based CPUs (Next) | Select MenuStart Folder (MinGW) (Next) | Ready to Install (Install) | | A DOS window will open and ask you some questions: | This is a post install process that will try to normalize between | your MinGW install if any as well as your previous MSYS installs | if any. I don't have any traps as aborts will not hurt anything. | Do you wish to continue with the post install? [yn ] | y [enter] | Do you have MinGW installed? [yn ] y | y [enter] | Please answer the following in the form of c:/foo/bar. | Where is your MinGW installation? | C:/MinGW [enter] | ..... | Oh joy, you do not have C:/MinGW/bin/make.exe. Keep it that way. | | C:\msys\1.0\postinstall>pause | Press any key to continue . . . | [enter], then click Finish. | | (I'm pretty sure you don't actually need MSys, it was just easier to install | it than figuring out how to set up the environment in Dos - MinGW is written | for unix users who need to compile stuff on Windows, it's not written for | Windows users who want to compile stuff on Windows). | | Okay, you are now set up to compile Analog (and probably many other open | source packages). | | Grab a copy of the Analog source: | http://www.analog.cx/analog-6.0.tar.gz | | Use 7-Zip to extract analog-6.0 to C:\MinGW | | you need to edit two files: | | C:\MinGW\analog-6.0\src\Makefile | Line 32: | Change OS = UNIX | to OS = WIN32 | | Line 34: | Change LIBS = -lm | to LIBS = -lwsock32 -lm | | C:\MinGW\analog-6.0\src\tree.c | Replace line 874: | else if (*c >= '6' && *c <= '9') | | with: | else if (*c =='6') { | *name = "Windows:Windows Vista"; | } else if (*c >= '7' && *c <= '9') | | | (Note that you might have trouble editing these files in Windows Notepad - | it expects to find linefeeds with it's carriage returns. MinGW includes a | version of vi, but if you've never used vi before, now isn't the time to | start :-) | | | Okay, start the msys shell: | Start/All Programs/MinGW/MSYS/msys | | You'll see a white window with a $ prompt. | | Type: | | cd /mingw/analog-6.0/src | Then type | make | | Assuming you followed the instructions above, you shouldn't get any errors, | and after a minute of so Analog should be compiled, and you can type: | exit. | | Now Start/All Programs/MinGW/MSYS/Msys | | | $ cd /mingw/analog-6.0/src | $ make | .... | $ exit | | Now copy C:\mingw\analog-6.0\analog.exe to your Analog directory, and your | Analog OS Reports should now include information about Windows Vista. | | | Aengus | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------ || TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: || http://lists.meer.net/mailman/listinfo/analog-help || || Analog Documentation: http://analog.cx/docs/Readme.html || List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives || Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general | +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: | http://lists.meer.net/mailman/listinfo/analog-help | | Analog Documentation: http://analog.cx/docs/Readme.html | List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives | Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general +------------------------------------------------------------------------
