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 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

git checkout OpenSSL_1_0_1-stable
perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=D:\TBuild\Libraries\openssl\Release

cd ffmpeg
git checkout release/2.8

http://msys2.github.io/ > Download msys2-x86_64-20150512.exe and install to D:\msys64

Building libraries

Download yasm for Win64 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

Qt 5.6.0, slightly patched

There go to Libraries directory

D:
cd TBuild\Libraries

and run

git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git qt5_6_0
cd qt5_6_0
git checkout 5.6
perl init-repository --module-subset=qtbase,qtimageformats
git checkout v5.6.0
cd qtimageformats && git checkout v5.6.0 && cd ..
cd qtbase && git checkout v5.6.0 && cd ..

Apply the patch

cd qtbase && git apply ../../../tdesktop/Telegram/Patches/qtbase_5_6_0.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 -force-debug-info -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.
