winbuilds

Scripts to automate building common libraries&osm tools on Windows

Mostly targeted for MSVC compiler.

You just need to

• install Git for Windows (2.6.0 or later https://git-for-windows.github.io )
• intall Visual Studio 2015 Community with Windows SDK or Mingw (testing)
• edit settings.bat (Choose Debug or Release, MSVC or MINGW, set folders)
• have an Internet connection and proxy variables if needed :)
• run necessary build_... or build_all.bat

See also more advanced collections:

• Mapbox windows-builds (Mapnik and OSM-related packages, professionaly supported batch scripts): https://github.com/mapbox/windows-builds
• MSYS2 (MinGW & Cygwin fork and Arch pacman for windows): https://msys2.github.io with its huge repository of packages https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages
• vcpkg (CMake-based port collection): https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
• Osgeo4W (GIS targeted repository, >150 packages) https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/
• Win-builds with yypkg package manager: http://win-builds.org/doku.php
• Cygwin (slower but biggest set of packages) https://cygwin.com

To compile with Mingw-w64, please

• install MSYS2 : http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/
• run its shell c:\msys64\msys2_shell.bat and install additional packages

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc make binutils pkg-config diffutils automake autoconf libtool

(to be sure all autotools-based projects can be built)

• use pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc or unpack custom version of mingw-w64 to c:\mingw64 , for example mingw-builds 4.9.1 here Note that most of the packages already exists in MSYS2 repository. The scripts are mostly for creating alternative builds.

Thanks to great projects MinGW/MinGW-builds/MinGW-w64 , MSYS2 and also to Microsoft for having free version of their fast (and tricky) compiler :)
