Building for Windows 64 bit

Asked by Thomas Sisson on 2016-09-12

Has anyone been able to successfully build 64-bit Midori on Windows 10?

It keeps saying I have unresolved dependencies, but it won't say which.

I can't attach the output as a file, so here it is:

Here is my current output after running vcvarsall.bat. Windows doesn't have version control, package control, and I don't want to install every version of every tool available. This is so much easier in Linux, but even Linux can't make up for code that has not been updated. The version available for Windows will not run on Windows 10 because it just opens and becomes unresponsive.

I gave up and set up Bash on Windows using Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL). I have some thoughts and background before updating my progress.

Many people today use Debian derived Linux flavors. WSL uses Ubuntu Trusty sources at this time. I have pulled Fedora sources before while running Kubuntu, but the instructions for building on Linux are problematic using a Debian based system. Also, Mingw has gone through some dramatic changes. Some packages begin with Mingw, but the commands do not always do so. So:

Can someone update the file HACKING to reflect these changes and give some hints for Ubuntu?

I used to build programs on Windows when it was easy. Everything was 32bit, and sources I build were written for Windows. I've done quite a bit on Linux since, though it was a learning curve, I was able to build Linux from sources. I don't know why it seems so difficult to build 64-bit programs for Windows. I'm starting to see why many free programs for Windows are only available in 32 bit.

I got all the way to make install. Here's my output. I thought maybe one error was caused by makedist.midori starting with "#! /bin/sh" instead of "#!/bin/sh," but I still get the same error. It may have to do with the fact that pushd is a builtin command. I see issues on the internet about it not working when called by make. Here it is:

env MINGW_PREFIX="/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/" ../win32/makedist/makedist.midori x64
../win32/makedist/makedist.midori: 28: [: unexpected operator
../win32/makedist/makedist.midori: 37: [: /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/: unexpected operator
../win32/makedist/makedist.midori: 72: [: unexpected operator
Creating midori-0.5.11-x64.zip
<*> Generating dll list...
../win32/makedist/makedist.midori: 168: ../win32/makedist/makedist.midori: pushd: not found

After that it just freezes. The command in HACKING only had one dot (.), but that caused an error. There was nothing about changing back to the top of the midori source tree first. I'm a little confused because it appeared to make for Linux including a midori.desktop file. I'm obviously a confused and hope someone with some patience reads this soon.
