##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

####OpenSSL 1.0.1h

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 -opengl desktop -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.
