##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 1.0.1g
|
||
|
||
https://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html > **OpenSSL for Windows** > Download [**Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.1g** (16 Mb)](http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_1g.exe)
|
||
|
||
Install to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\OpenSSL-Win32**, while installing **Copy OpenSSL DLLs to** choose **The OpenSSL binaries (/bin) directory**
|
||
|
||
####LZMA SDK 9.20
|
||
|
||
http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html > Download [**LZMA SDK (C, C++, C#, Java)** 9.20](http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/lzma920.tar.bz2)
|
||
|
||
Extract to **D:\TBuild\Libraries**
|
||
|
||
#####Building library
|
||
|
||
* Open in VS2013 **D:\TBuild\Libraries\lzma\C\Util\LzmaLib\LzmaLib.dsw** > One-way upgrade – **OK**
|
||
* For **Debug** and **Release** configurations
|
||
* LzmaLib Properties > General > Configuration Type = **Static library (.lib)** – **OK**
|
||
* LzmaLib Properties > Librarian > General > Target Machine = **MachineX86 (/MACHINE:X86)** – **OK**
|
||
* Build Debug configuration
|
||
* Build Release configuration
|
||
|
||
####zlib 1.2.8
|
||
|
||
http://www.zlib.net/ > Download [**zlib source code, version 1.2.8, zipfile format**](http://zlib.net/zlib128.zip)
|
||
|
||
Extract to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\**
|
||
|
||
#####Building library
|
||
|
||
* Open in VS2013 **D:\TBuild\Libraries\zlib-1.2.8\contrib\vstudio\vc11\zlibvc.sln** > One-way upgrade – **OK**
|
||
* We are interested only in **zlibstat** project, but it depends on some custom pre-build step, so build all
|
||
* For **Debug** configuration
|
||
* zlibstat Properties > C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime Library = **Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd)** – **OK**
|
||
* For **Release** configuration
|
||
* zlibstat Properties > C/C++ > Code Generation > Runtime Library = **Multi-threaded (/MT)** – **OK**
|
||
* Build Solution for Debug configuration – only **zlibstat** project builds successfully
|
||
* Build Solution for Release configuration – only **zlibstat** project builds successfully
|
||
|
||
####libexif 0.6.20
|
||
|
||
Get sources from https://github.com/telegramdesktop/libexif-0.6.20, by git – in [Git Bash](http://git-scm.com/downloads) go to **/d/tbuild/libraries** and run
|
||
|
||
git clone https://github.com/telegramdesktop/libexif-0.6.20.git
|
||
|
||
or download in ZIP and extract to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\**, rename **libexif-0.6.20-master** to **libexif-0.6.20** to have **D:\TBuild\Libraries\libexif-0.6.20\win32\lib_exif.sln** solution
|
||
|
||
#####Building library
|
||
|
||
* Open in VS2013 **D:\TBuild\Libraries\libexif-0.6.20\win32\lib_exif.sln**
|
||
* Build Debug configuration
|
||
* Build Release configuration
|
||
|
||
####Qt 5.3.0, slightly patched
|
||
|
||
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.0/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.0.zip
|
||
|
||
Extract to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\**, rename **qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.0** to **QtStatic** to have **D:\TBuild\Libraries\QtStatic\qtbase\** folder
|
||
|
||
Apply patch – copy (with overwrite!) everything from **D:\TBuild\tdesktop\\\_qt\_5\_3\_0\_patch\** to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\QtStatic\**
|
||
|
||
#####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 -static -opengl desktop -mp -nomake examples -platform win32-msvc2013
|
||
y
|
||
|
||
to configure Qt build. After configuration is complete run
|
||
|
||
nmake
|
||
nmake install
|
||
|
||
building (**nmake** command) will take really long time.
|
||
|
||
