Building on Microsoft Windows

For general information, see wiki/Building first.

Building

The new build system is a work in progress, see #678 for details.

Steps:

• install ​mingw-w64
• run this setup script: MINGW_SETUP.sh
• run the build script: browser/xpra/trunk/src/win32/PY27_MINGW_BUILD.sh

Once installed, you can update the build system by running:

• pacman -Syu for the msys2 packages
• UPDATE_PYTHON_LIBS.sh for the python libraries

Optional Steps

Work in progress - these steps should be automated (see #678 foe details):

• OpenGL rendering via pygtkglext: follow ticket:678#comment:27
• pygobject patching to remove warnings (minor)
• websockify
• CUDA / NVENC / pycuda
• install gsview and ghostscript (see wiki/Dependencies)
