Compiling Amaya On Windows

This document explains how to compile the Amaya environment (schemas compilers and the binary) from the distributed source tree. All makefiles are included with the source tar file.

1. Prerequisites
2. Makefiles needed to build Amaya
3. Building AmayaWX
4. Building Amaya (old Win32 user interface)

Prerequisites

• The compiler used by the Amaya development Team is MSVC++ (6.0). Other compilers may work but would require reworking the Makefiles.
• The source tar file should be unzipped with 7-Zip tool that you can download from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html.

Files needed to build Amaya

Check that you have following library directories distributed with Amaya

• wxWidgets
• freetype
• libWWW
• redland

Check that your directory Amaya\WindowsWX contains the following directories and files:

• amaya.dsw
• amaya\amaya.mkf
• annotlib\annotlib.dsp
• app\app.dsp
• Compilers\Compilers.dsw
• cpp\cpp.dsp
• davlib\davlib.dsp
• libjpeg\libjpeg.dsp
• libpng\libpng.dsp
• libraptor\libraptor.dsp
• librdf\librdf.dsp
• LibThotEditor\libThotEditor.dsp
• LibThotKernel\LibThotKernel.dsp
• libwww\libwww.dsp
• printlib\printlib.dsp
• prs\prs.dsp
• str\str.dsp
• thotprinter\thotprinter.dsp
• tra\tra.dsp
• wx-setup\setup.h
• zlib\zlib.dsp

Building AmayaWX

1. Load the wxWidgets workspace wxWidgets/build/msw/wx.dsw and launch the batch build
   Please select "dll", "unicode", and "release" and/or "debug" according to your intention to compile a release or a debug version of amaya.
2. Load the freetype workspace freetype/builds/win32/visualc/freetype.dsw and build
3. Load the amaya workspace Amaya\WindowsWX\amaya.dsw
4. Select the sub-project amaya (see menu Project/Set Active Project) and build it. (F7).

   The compiling first build Amaya compilers and should display a window.

5. Choose "File/Build" (or F7), to start these compilers and generate .STR, .PRS, .TRA, .APP, and .h files needed for building Amaya.
6. You need to close this window to continue the Amaya build.
