Windows

Awry will not compile on Windows without additional utilities. The Windows Subsystem for Linux will compile the library for Linux, but Awry will not work with Microsoft Visual C++ in this context. Awry’s build system uses MSYS2 for compilation to Windows.

Install Chocolatey

Chocolatey is a package manager for powershell. It provides a package to install MSYS2 on Windows.

Open powershell and run the following command to install Chocolatey:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Install MSYS2

In the same powershell session, install MSYS2:

choco install msys2

Install GNU auto utilities

In the current powershell session, open a bash terminal:

bash

Then install autoutils, gcc, and other dependencies to build Awry:

pacman -Sy autoconf make gcc git automake libtool --noconfirm

And clone the repository with git:

git clone git@github.com:Awry-CC/awry.git ; cd awry

1. Generate the configure script

autoconf will generate the configure bash script to find required dependencies.

autoconf

2. Generate the makefile

configure will create the final makefile, filling in variables and C flags with what’s defined in configure.ac

./configure

3. Build the shared library

make sharedlib will compile the Awry library to lib/libawry.X.X.X.dll.

make sharedlib

4. Install the library

Install the shared library to C:/Windows/system32 and the headers to C:/usr/include/awry.

NOTE: You may have to change the includes path to something registered in your PATH variable.

make install

5. Build and run the test suite

make tests ; ./bin/testsuite.exe

6. Alternative

The default make command will run all of the above commands. Use only after reviewing the generated Makefile.

make
