Greetings, I just started playing with fossil, but the lack of client SSL/TLS support in the official binaries is a pretty major bump in the road for production use. I've read all the topics that I could find on this subject, and I understand the arguments, but this really gets in the way of the "simply download a precompiled binary" idea. Please consider building a separate set of binaries and letting the users select which version they want to use.
After ~4 hours of trial and error, I finally managed to compile everything with mingw-w64. The following steps seem to work ok, but please let me know if anything should be done differently. I assume that mingw-w64 will be installed to C:\MinGW; adjust the paths as needed if this isn't the case. You might also be able to use TDM-GCC, but I haven't tested it. If you already have the toolchain, MSYS, and wget installed, then you can jump to the final step. 1. Download and run mingw-get-inst from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download?source=files 2. At the component selection step, only the "MinGW Developer ToolKit" is needed (uncheck the C compiler). 3. Download mingw-w64 from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.7-release/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.7.2-release-win64_rubenvb.7z/download 4. Extract the archive and move the contents of the resulting mingw64 directory to C:\MinGW, overwriting all existing files. 5. Start MSYS shell from the Start Menu or C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat. 6. Install wget by running: mingw-get install msys-wget-bin 7. cd to the directory where you want to build fossil and run the following script: ---- # Download and extract fossil source wget http://www.fossil-scm.org/download/fossil-src-20121022124804.tar.gz tar -xzf fossil-src-20121022124804.tar.gz cd fossil-src-20121022124804 # Download, extract, and build zlib wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz tar -xzf zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz cd zlib-1.2.7 make -f win32/Makefile.gcc cd .. # Download, extract, and build openssl wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1c.tar.gz tar -xzf openssl-1.0.1c.tar.gz cd openssl-1.0.1c ./Configure mingw64 make build_ssl build_crypto cd .. # Build fossil make -f win/Makefile.mingw FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1 ---- You can now test the created binary by running: fossil clone https://www.fossil-scm.org/ myclone.fossil I should point out that zlib and openssl are not actually installed. Fossil's win/Makefile.mingw makes special provisions for getting the libraries and header files from the ./zlib-1.2.7 and ./openssl-1.0.1c directories. If these library versions change, you may need to edit Makefile.mingw by hand to update the directory names. - Max _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
