##Build instructions for Visual Studio 2013

###Prepare folder

Choose a folder for the future build, for example **D:\TBuild\**. There you will have two folders, **Libraries** for third-party libs and **tdesktop** (or **tdesktop-master**) for the app.

###Clone source code

By git – in [Git Bash](http://git-scm.com/downloads) go to **/d/tbuild** and run

     git clone https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop.git

or download in ZIP and extract to **D:\TBuild\**, rename **tdesktop-master** to **tdesktop** to have **D:\TBuild\tdesktop\Telegram.sln** solution

###Prepare libraries

#####Building libraries

Download [yasm for Win64](http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.3.0-win64.exe) from http://yasm.tortall.net/Download.html, rename **yasm-1.3.0-win64.exe** to **yasm.exe** and place it to your Visual C++ **bin** directory, like **\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 12\\VC\\bin\\**

Open **VS2013 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt.bat** (should be in **\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\\Common7\\Tools\\Shortcuts\\** folder), go to **D:\\msys64\\** and launch **msys2_shell.bat**, there run

    PATH="/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0/VC/BIN:$PATH"

    cd /d/TBuild/Libraries/ffmpeg-2.6.3
    pacman -S msys/make
    pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-opus

    PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

    ./configure --toolchain=msvc --disable-programs --disable-everything --enable-libopus --enable-decoder=aac --enable-decoder=aac_latm --enable-decoder=aasc --enable-decoder=mp1 --enable-decoder=mp1float --enable-decoder=mp2 --enable-decoder=mp2float --enable-decoder=mp3 --enable-decoder=mp3adu --enable-decoder=mp3adufloat --enable-decoder=mp3float --enable-decoder=mp3on4 --enable-decoder=mp3on4float --enable-decoder=wavpack --enable-decoder=opus --enable-decoder=vorbis --enable-decoder=wmalossless --enable-decoder=wmapro --enable-decoder=wmav1 --enable-decoder=wmav2 --enable-decoder=wmavoice --enable-encoder=libopus --enable-parser=aac --enable-parser=aac_latm --enable-parser=mpegaudio --enable-parser=opus --enable-parser=vorbis --enable-demuxer=aac --enable-demuxer=wav --enable-demuxer=mp3 --enable-demuxer=ogg --enable-demuxer=mov --enable-muxer=ogg --enable-muxer=opus --extra-ldflags="-libpath:/d/TBuild/Libraries/opus/win32/VS2010/Win32/Release celt.lib silk_common.lib silk_float.lib"

    make
    make install

####Qt 5.4.0, slightly patched

http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.4/5.4.0/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.0.zip

Extract to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\**, rename **qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.4.0** to **QtStatic** to have **D:\TBuild\Libraries\QtStatic\qtbase\** folder

Apply patch

* OR copy (with overwrite!) everything from **D:\TBuild\tdesktop\\\_qt\_5\_4\_0\_patch\** to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\QtStatic\**
* OR copy **D:\TBuild\tdesktop\\\_qt\_5\_4\_0\_patch.diff** to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\QtStatic\**, go there in Git Bash and run

    git apply _qt_5_4_0_patch.diff

#####Building library

* Install Python 3.3.2 from https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.2 > [**Windows x86 MSI Installer (3.3.2)**](https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.3.2/python-3.3.2.msi)
* Open **VS2013 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt.bat** (should be in **\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\Shortcuts\** folder)

There go to Qt directory

    D:
    cd TBuild\Libraries\QtStatic

and after that run configure

    configure -debug-and-release -opensource -confirm-license -static -I "D:\TBuild\Libraries\OpenSSL-Win32\include" -L "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Lib" -l Gdi32 -no-opengl -openssl-linked OPENSSL_LIBS_DEBUG="D:\TBuild\Libraries\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\VC\static\ssleay32MTd.lib D:\TBuild\Libraries\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\VC\static\libeay32MTd.lib" OPENSSL_LIBS_RELEASE="D:\TBuild\Libraries\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\VC\static\ssleay32MT.lib D:\TBuild\Libraries\OpenSSL-Win32\lib\VC\static\libeay32MT.lib" -mp -nomake examples -nomake tests -platform win32-msvc2013

to configure Qt build. After configuration is complete run

    nmake module-qtbase module-qtimageformats
    nmake module-qtbase-install_subtargets module-qtimageformats-install_subtargets

building (**nmake** command) will take really long time.

####Qt Visual Studio Addin 1.2.3
