BUILDING SCRIBUS ON MICROSOFT WINDOWS WITH MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO
2
==================================================================
3
 
19973 jghali 4
This documentation is minimal and assume you have a decent knowledge of 
16720 jghali 5
Microsoft Visual Studio. No help regarding use of Visual Studio and
6
related tools will be provided.
7
 
8
You will need:
20188 jghali 9
- Microsoft Vista, 7 or a more recent version
10
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 or later (for 32/64bit build)
11
- A recent Qt release built with corresponding Visual Studio version (minimum 5.2, recommended >= 5.3.2)
12
- Scribus common libraries kit downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-libs/
13
- Scribus 15x libraries kit downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-libs/
14
 
19973 jghali 15
It is possible to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 Express editions.

GETTING DEPENDENCIES
18
====================
19
 
20
This is a quick and dirty set of notes that will be filled out once everything's
19104 jghali 21
verified as correct and working. It assumes that you'll be building all your
19973 jghali 22
dependencies at a single root such as C:\Developer. The root *MUST NOT* have spaces
16720 jghali 23
in its path.
24
 
25
 
19973 jghali 26
Building Qt:
27
------------
16720 jghali 28
 
19973 jghali 29
Download the latest Qt 5 release from http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/ and unpack it to C:\Developer.
16720 jghali 30
 
19973 jghali 31
Follow instructions in following pages to get Qt build dependencies, noticeably perl, python and ruby:
32
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-requirements.html
33
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/windows-building.html
16720 jghali 34
 
19973 jghali 35
Start a command line and import your Visual Studio environment:
36
- for building 32bit : \path\to\visual\studio\VC\vcvarsall.bat x86
37
- for building 64bit : \path\to\visual\studio\VC\vcvarsall.bat x86_amd64
16720 jghali 38
 
20188 jghali 39
Now cd to C:\Developer\qt-everywhere-whatever and run configure:
40
- Visual Studio 2012 : configure -platform win32-msvc2012 -prefix /path/where/you/want/qt5/to/be/installed -nomake examples -nomake tests -opengl desktop -opensource -mp
41
- Visual Studio 2013 : configure -platform win32-msvc2013 -prefix /path/where/you/want/qt5/to/be/installed -nomake examples -nomake tests -opengl desktop -opensource -mp 
16720 jghali 42
 
19973 jghali 43
After configure has finished its work, run nmake. Depending on the number of processors available on your machine, a complete Qt build may 
44
take from a few hours to several days. Once Qt has finished building, run following command to install Qt to its install directory:
45
nmake install
16720 jghali 46
 
19973 jghali 47
If you want to build Qt docs, you might want to run following command afterwards:
48
nmake docs
49
nmake install_docs
16720 jghali 50
 
19973 jghali 51
Once you finished building and installing Qt, you can run following command to clean Qt source directory:
52
nmake distclean
16720 jghali 53
 
19973 jghali 54
Building 3rd party libraries:
55
-----------------------------
16720 jghali 56
 
20188 jghali 57
Archives with ready-to-build solutions for scribus dependencies have been made available on Sourceforge: 
58
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-libs/
59
These archives can be used to compile all dependencies necessary for Scribus.
16720 jghali 60
 
19973 jghali 61
Two different archives are needed :
20188 jghali 62
- scribus-commmon-libs-YYYYMMDD.7z : common libraries for 14x and trunk, no compilation is required here
63
- scribus-15x-libs-msvcXXXX-YYYYMMDD.7z : Scribus 15x specific libraries used for current Scribus 1.5.x releases
16720 jghali 64
 
20188 jghali 65
These archives are named using a scheme where:
66
- msvcXXXX represents the Visual Studio version needed to compile provided Visual Studio solution
67
- YYYYMMDD represents the date where the archive has been prepared/uploaded to Sourceforge.
16720 jghali 68
 
20188 jghali 69
For building 15x dependencies, an archive for Visual Studio 2012 is provided. This archive allows to build libraries 
70
for 32bit and 64bit platforms using the different available toolsets, excluding the v110_xp and v120_xp ones. The default 
20076 jghali 71
configuration, corresponding to the msvc 2012 default toolset (v110), allows to build binaries compatible with Windows Vista and up.
16720 jghali 72
 
19973 jghali 73
Once you downloaded the two appropriate archives :
20188 jghali 74
- decompress them in the *same* directory so as to get a layout similar to this one :
75
    - your_script_libs_directory
76
       |- scribus-1.5.x-libs-msvc2012
77
       |- scribus-common-libs
78
- open the visual studio solution (*.sln) located in the scribus-1.5.x-libs-* directory
79
- build debug and release configurations for all platforms (Win32 and/or x64) you plan to execute scribus on
80
 
19973 jghali 81
If you want to build using a different toolset, you can use msbuild through the command line. To do so you can use the provided 
82
build-all-platform-libs.bat script. For example :
83
- to build with Visual Studio 2010 toolset for Win32 platform: build-all-platform-libs.bat Win32 v100
84
- to build with Visual Studio 2012 XP compatible toolset for Win32 platform: build-all-platform-libs.bat Win32 v110_xp

BUILDING SCRIBUS
87
====================
17505 jghali 88
 
19973 jghali 89
After having installed all dependencies, open Scribus-build-props.props files located in Scribus\win32\vc11 in a text editor
90
Update the dependency paths to match your system.
17505 jghali 91
 
19973 jghali 92
Open the Visual Studio solution located in same directoy and start building. Note: if you built dependencies with a different 
93
toolset than the default one, you should either modify toolset directly in all projects or build the solution through command 
94
line using msbuild.
17505 jghali 95
 
19973 jghali 96
After building completed, you will find executables in a Scribus-builds\scribus-$(configuration)-$(platform)-$(platformtoolset)\
97
directory, located in same directory as Scribus sources. Those executables will not function yet. Scribus resources and
98
dependencies must be copied to install directory first.
17505 jghali 99
 
19973 jghali 100
INSTALLING RESOURCES AND DEPENDENCIES
101
=====================================
17505 jghali 102
 
19973 jghali 103
To copy resources to build directory, create a batch script and copy/paste following lines :
17505 jghali 104
 
19973 jghali 105
set SCRIBUS_SRC_PATH=.\Scribus
106
set SCRIBUS_BUILD_ROOT=.\Scribus-builds
107
set SCRIBUS_INSTALL_PATH=.\Scribus-builds\scribus-debug-win32-v110
17505 jghali 108

134
del   %SCRIBUS_BUILD_ROOT%\*MakeFile* /s
17505 jghali 135
 
19973 jghali 136
Adjust SCRIBUS_SRC_PATH, SCRIBUS_BUILD_ROOT and SCRIBUS_INSTALL_PATH as needed and run batch script.
17505 jghali 137
 
19973 jghali 138
To install common libs:
20188 jghali 139
- open the scribus-common-libs directory where you uncompressed 15x/trunk libs
140
- open the copy-dlls-to-15x-build-dir.bat file from scribus-common-libs directory in a text editor
141
- modify the SCRIBUS_BUILDS_DIR, SCRIBUS_LIB_TOOLSET and PYTHON_DIR_* variables appropriately
142
- execute batch file
17505 jghali 143
 
19973 jghali 144
To install version specific libs:
20188 jghali 145
- open the scribus-15x-libs-msvc* directory where you uncompressed Scribus 15x libs
146
- open the copy-*-dlls-to-build-dir.bat file in a text editor
147
- modify the SCRIBUS_BUILDS_DIR and SCRIBUS_LIB_TOOLSET variables appropriately
148
- execute batch file
17505 jghali 149
 
19973 jghali 150
Finally copy Qt DLLs to build directory and Qt plugins directory to "qtplugins" directory.
151
Scribus should now run.
17505 jghali 152
 
19973 jghali 153
Crash problems at runtime? Verify that Scribus and all its dependencies use the same runtime, and that all were built 
154
for debug or release configurations and not a mixture of the two. On Windows, it is strictly not recommended to mix 
155
debug and release binaries. Doing so is not supported and will usually trigger unpredictable issues and crashes.
16720 jghali 156
 
19973 jghali 157
You can use depends.exe to check that the runtimes match.
