These instructions assume the ``git`` command line client is available and on ``$PATH``.
- Install Visual Studio Community 2019
- Install CMake 3.14.4
- Clone this repository
- Build Boost 1.70.0
- Build MPIR (master)
- Build MPFR (master)
- Build ledger (master)
In the steps below 'at the command prompt' means use the `Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019` to execute the commands listed, starting with the current directory as the repository root.
At the command prompt run the following to clone this repository and the sub-modules:
git clone https://github.com/maxwell-k/ledger-windows-build --recursive
Use a different URL above if you are using a fork of the original instructions.
Download and extract
boost_1_70_0to the root of this repository, then build Boost using the following at the command prompt:ren boost_1_70_0 boost cd boost .\bootstrap.bat .\b2.exe link=static runtime-link=static threading=multi ^ --layout=versioned
Patch build files for mpir: On lines 22 and 23 of mpirmsvcvs19msbuild.bat change 15.0 to Current. On lines 76 and 85 of mpirmsvcvs19lib_mpir_gclib_mpir_gc.vcxproj change 17 to 19
At the command prompt run the following to build mpir:
cd mpir\msvc\vs19 .\msbuild.bat gc LIB Win32 Release
Note
For unknown reasons, possibly due to a subtle bug in the build script the last command may fail on the first two attempts. It ususally works at the third attempt or later.
At the command prompt run the following to build mpfr:
cd mpfr\build.vs19\lib_mpfr msbuild /p:Configuration=Release lib_mpfr.vcxproj
At the command prompt run the following to build
ledger.exe:cd ledger cmake ^ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING="Release" ^ -DBUILD_LIBRARY=OFF ^ -DMPFR_LIB:FILEPATH="../../mpfr/build.vs19/lib/Win32/Release/mpfr"^ -DGMP_LIB:FILEPATH="../../mpir/lib/win32/Release/mpir" ^ -DMPFR_PATH:PATH="../mpfr/lib/Win32/Release" ^ -DGMP_PATH:PATH="../mpir/lib/win32/Release" ^ -DBUILD_DOCS:BOOL="0" ^ -DHAVE_REALPATH:BOOL="0" ^ -DHAVE_GETPWUID:BOOL="0" ^ -DHAVE_GETPWNAM:BOOL="0" ^ -DHAVE_IOCTL:BOOL="0" ^ -DHAVE_ISATTY:BOOL="0" ^ -DBOOST_ROOT:PATH="../boost/" ^ -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS:BOOL="1" ^ -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE:STRING="/MT /Zi /Ob0 /Od" ^ -A Win32 -G "Visual Studio 16" msbuild /p:Configuration=Release src\ledger.vcxproj copy Release\ledger.exe ..\Note
The error message about not being able to find Python can be safely ignored. Python is only used for running tests, which is not part of the build process described here.
To build a more recent version of ledger, or either the mpir or mpfr
dependency, run the following at the command prompt after the initial git
clone above:
cd ledger git checkout master cd ../mpir git checkout master cd ../mpfr git checkout master
Note
To produce a different version or use different dependencies, you can use
any appropriate branch or commit hash in place of master. Other
versions may require a different build process to that documented above.
- These instructions are based upon the wiki page by Tim Crews.
- Boost is time consuming to build, especially as we have to build all of the libraries to build the unit test framework; the other libraries can be built at the same time.
