##Build instructions for Visual Studio 2015

###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

####OpenSSL

http://msys2.github.io/ > Download [msys2-x86_64-20150512.exe](http://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/Base/x86_64/msys2-x86_64-20150512.exe/download) and install to **D:\\msys64**

#####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 14\\VC\\bin\\**

Open **VS2015 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt.bat** (should be in **Start Menu > Programs > Visual Studio 2015** menu folder), go to **D:\\msys64\\** and launch **msys2_shell.bat**, there run

    PATH="/c/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0/VC/BIN:$PATH"

    cd /d/TBuild/Libraries/ffmpeg
    pacman -Sy
    pacman -S msys/make
    pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-opus
    pacman -S diffutils
    pacman -S pkg-config

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

    ./configure --toolchain=msvc --disable-programs --disable-doc --disable-everything --disable-w32threads --enable-libopus --enable-decoder=aac --enable-decoder=aac_latm --enable-decoder=aasc --enable-decoder=flac --enable-decoder=gif --enable-decoder=h264 --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=mpeg4 --enable-decoder=msmpeg4v2 --enable-decoder=msmpeg4v3 --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-hwaccel=h264_d3d11va --enable-hwaccel=h264_dxva2 --enable-parser=aac --enable-parser=aac_latm --enable-parser=flac --enable-parser=h264 --enable-parser=mpeg4video --enable-parser=mpegaudio --enable-parser=opus --enable-parser=vorbis --enable-demuxer=aac --enable-demuxer=flac --enable-demuxer=gif --enable-demuxer=h264 --enable-demuxer=mov --enable-demuxer=mp3 --enable-demuxer=ogg --enable-demuxer=wav --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 5.5.1, slightly patched

* 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 **VS2015 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt.bat** (should be in **Start Menu > Programs > Visual Studio 2015** menu folder)

There go to Libraries directory

    D:
    cd TBuild\Libraries

and run

    git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git QtStatic
    cd QtStatic
    git checkout 5.5
    perl init-repository --module-subset=qtbase,qtimageformats
    git checkout v5.5.1
    cd qtimageformats && git checkout v5.5.1 && cd ..
    cd qtbase && git checkout v5.5.1 && cd ..

#####Apply the patch

    cd qtbase && git apply ../../../tdesktop/Telegram/_qtbase_5_5_1_patch.diff && cd ..

#####Install Windows SDKs

If you didn't install Windows SDKs before, you need to install them now. To install the SDKs just open Telegram solution at **D:\TBuild\tdesktop\Telegram.sln** and on startup Visual Studio 2015 will popup dialog box and ask to download and install extra components (including Windows 7 SDK).

If you already have Windows SDKs then find the library folder and correct it at configure's command below (like **C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\x86**).

#####Building library

    configure -debug-and-release -opensource -confirm-license -static -I "D:\TBuild\Libraries\openssl\Release\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_debug\Debug\lib\ssleay32.lib D:\TBuild\Libraries\openssl_debug\Debug\lib\libeay32.lib" OPENSSL_LIBS_RELEASE="D:\TBuild\Libraries\openssl\Release\lib\ssleay32.lib D:\TBuild\Libraries\openssl\Release\lib\libeay32.lib" -mp -nomake examples -nomake tests -platform win32-msvc2015
    nmake
    nmake install

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

####Qt5Package

https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c89ff880-8509-47a4-a262-e4fa07168408

Download, close all VS2015 instances and install for VS2015

####Google Breakpad

* Open **VS2015 x86 Native Tools Command Prompt.bat** (should be in **Start Menu > Programs > Visual Studio 2015** menu folder)

There go to Libraries directory

and run

    git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad
    git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp
    set PATH=C:\Python27;%PATH%
    cd breakpad/src/client/windows
    ..\..\..\..\gyp\gyp --no-circular-check
