TN3270 Protocol Library for Linux/Windows

Created originally as part of PW3270 application.

Installation

Pre build packages

You can download installation package for supported linux distributions in Open Build Service

Building for Linux

1. Get lib3270 sources from git

   git clone https://github.com/PerryWerneck/lib3270.git ./lib3270

2. Install the required libraries

   • autoconf
   • automake
   • binutils
   • coreutils
   • gcc-c++
   • gettext-devel
   • m4
   • pkgconfig
   • openssl-devel
   • dbus-1-devel
   • xz

   (This command can make it easy on SuSE: grep -i buildrequires rpm/lib3270.spec | cut -d: -f2 | sudo xargs zypper in )

3. Configure and build

   ./autogen.sh
   make clean
   make all

Building for Windows

Cross-compiling on SuSE Linux (Native or WSL)

1. First add the MinGW Repositories for your SuSE version from:

   sudo zypper ar obs://windows:mingw:win32 mingw32
   sudo zypper ar obs://windows:mingw:win64 mingw64
   sudo zypper ref

2. Get lib3270 sources from git

   git clone https://github.com/PerryWerneck/lib3270.git ./lib3270

3. Install cross compilers

   ./lib3270/win/install-cross.sh --all (for 32 and 64 bits)

4. Configure build

   ./lib3270/win/win-configure.sh --64 (for 64 bits)

5. Build

   cd lib3270
   make clean
   make all

Windows native with MSYS2 (Using bundle script)

1. Install and update MSYS2

2. Update system path

   • Add c:\msys64\usr\bin and c:\msys64\mingw64\bin to system path

3. Install devel packages using pacman on mingw shell

   pacman -S --needed zip dos2unix mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc automake autoconf make git pkgconf mingw-w64-x86_64-gettext gettext-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl libtool

   Afther this close and reopen mingw shell.

4. Get lib3270 sources from git using the mingw shell

   git clone https://github.com/PerryWerneck/lib3270.git ./lib3270

5. Build library using the mingw shell

   cd lib3270
   ./autogen.sh
   make all

6. Install

   make install

Building for macOS

Using homebrew

Install

1. Install homebrew

2. Install dependencies
