Comment #7 on issue 34 by [email protected]: Need docs for
how to compile, especially on Windows
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=34
Just as a hint: We've compiled gears for Firefox on Windows 7 with Windows
SDK 7.0
and Visual Studio 2008 (command line) using cygwin (make, M4, python, zip,
candle).
Due to some new definitions in VS08, third_party/zlib/zutil.h cannot be
compiled. As
fix, surrounding line 200-202 by #if _MSC_VER < 1500 / #endif helped.
As we found no version of dc for cygwin, we used
MSI_BUILD=`expr $(BUILD) \* 100 \+ $(PATCH)`
instead (rules.mk, line 937). It might be an idea to remove the dependency
to dc at all.
During some experiments we found that we were not able to compile
gears/base/common/message_queue_win32.cc and fixed the issue for us with
#include <atlbase.h> // Base ATL classes
extern CComModule _Module; // Global _Module
#include <atlwin.h> // ATL windowing classes
at the end of the includes.
