Get the automated installer from http://www.mingw.org. Then do an installation of the current MingW release to c:/MinGW.
After that get and extract gcc-full-4.4.0-mingw32-bin-2.tar.lzma with 7-Zip over c:/MinGW
There is a little bug in the MingW distribution: In file: C:/MinGW/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.4.0/libstdc++.la you have to change line 11: from
library_names='libstdc++.dll.a'
to
library_names='libstdc++.a'
[ from http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/282 ]
To compile something with the just installed MinGW version, open a Windows command prompt and enter
set PATH=c:\MinGW\bin;c:\Qt\4.6.2\bin
To check, if the installed gcc is really a 4.4.0 version, run
gcc -v
You also have to install MSYS to compile some of the following libraries on Windows. Download the MSYS installer from the above mentioned MinGW site.
Download the "Qt: Framework Only" from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/windows-cpp ("Download Qt libraries 4.6.2 for Windows")
Uncompress the files to C:/Qt/4.6.2.
All other additional libraries should be installed to C:/libs
The Qt Widgets for Technical Applications (http://qwt.sourceforge.net) can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/qwt.
The SVN version have to be used, it includes patches to compile with Qt 4.6. You can use cygwin (www.cygwin.org) to access the svn repository. Open a Cygwin shell and enter
cd /cygdrive/c/libs/ svn co https://qwt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qwt/branches/qwt-5.2
In file qwtconfig.pri: set "CONFIG += debug" to "CONFIG += release" in the Qt4/win32 sections.
To compile Qwt Open a Windows command prompt and enter, set the right paths
set PATH=c:\MinGW\bin;c:\Qt\4.6.2\bin
go to c:/libs/qwt-5.2.0 and run
qmake mingw32-make
The QwtPlot3D (http://qwtplot3d.sourceforge.net) widget can be downloaded from http://qwtplot3d.sourceforge.net/web/navigation/download_frame.html
Extract qwtplot3d-0.2.7.zip to C:/libs/qwtplot3d-0.2.7
To compile qwtplot3d, change in C:/libs/qwtplot3d-0.2.7/qwtplot3d.pro the line
CONFIG += qt warn_on opengl thread zlib debug
to
CONFIG += qt warn_on opengl thread zlib release
to build qwtplot3d in release mode, otherwise you will get error: "QWidget: Must construct a QApplication before a QPaintDevice".
Moreover, before compiling qwtplot3d and if you use mingw-gcc, you must change in the qwtplot3d.pro this (source http://nxv.sourceforge.net):
win32:TEMPLATE = vclib
to this:
win32:TEMPLATE = lib
For gcc 4.4.0, you also have to add the line
add #include <stdio.h>
to the file qwt3d_function.cpp.
To compile qwtplot3d run in a Qt command prompt:
qmake qwtplot3d.pro mingw32-make
A precompiles version of FFTW (http://www.fftw.org ) can be found at http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html.
Extract fftw-3.2.2-dll.zip to c:/libs/fftw-3.2.2
Download Libconfig (http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig) from http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/libconfig-1.4.3.tar.gz
Extract contents c:/libs/libconfig-1.4.3
Change in file wincompat.h line 35:
#define atoll _atoi64
to
//#define atoll _atoi64
Run these commands in the MSYS shell:
cd /c/libs/libconfig-1.4.3 ./configure make install
Optionally the ZLib can be used with HDF5. The source is available on http://www.zlib.net. Extract the archive to c:/libs/zlib-1.2.4.
Start MSYS. Compile zlib with
./configure --static --prefix=/c/libs/zlib-1.2.4 --libdir=/c/mingw/lib --includedir=/c/mingw/include make
Get the source from ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/current/src. Read and follow the exact instructions in release_docs/INSTALL_MinGW.txt. You also have to remove testing scripts as written in the instructions.
To compile the HDF5 libs on MinGW, run this command in an MSYS shell:
export LIBS=-lws2_32 export PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin ./configure --prefix=/c/libs/hdf5 --enable-cxx --with-zlib=/c/libs/zlib-1.2.4,/c/libs/zlib-1.2.4
without zlib
export LIBS=-lws2_32 export PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin ./configure --enable-cxx --without-zlib --prefix=/c/libs/hdf5/
Then run
make make install
To link the hdf5 libraries to a program use these parameters:
-lz -lhdf5 -l hdf5_cpp
Download TCLAP from http://tclap.sourceforge.net/ and extract it to c:/libs/tclap-1.2.0
Get Boost from http://www.boost.org/users/download/#releases and extract it to c:/libs/boost_1_42_0
You can use cygwin (www.cygwin.org) to access the SNACS svn repository. Open a Cygwin shell and enter
cd /cygdrive/c/libs/ svn co https://snacs.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/snacs
Start a Qt command prompt. Go to the snacs/trunk directory and run
set PATH=c:\MinGW\bin;c:\Qt\4.6.2\bin qmake SNACS.pro mingw32-make mocclean clean mingw32-make
Copy all necessary libraries to the trunk directory:
copy C:\MinGW\bin\mingwm10.dll release\ copy C:\MinGW\bin\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll release\ copy c:\Qt\4.6.2\bin\QtCore4.dll release\ copy c:\Qt\4.6.2\bin\QtGui4.dll release\ copy c:\Qt\4.6.2\bin\QtOpenGL4.dll release\ copy C:\libs\qwt-5.2\lib\qwt5.dll release\ copy C:\libs\qwtplot3d-0.2.7\lib\qwtplot3d.dll release\ copy "C:\libs\libconfig-1.4.3\lib\.libs\libconfig++-8.dll" release\ copy C:\libs\fftw-3.2.2\libfftw3-3.dll release\
or simply call
get-Win-DLLs.bat
To run SNACS, type
cd release SNACS-release.exe
Eclipse with the CDT C/C++ environment can be used to develop program code. With the Qt integration kit the SNACS.pro project file can directly be imported into the Eclipse workspace.
These parameters have to be set in Eclipse's project properties:
These parameters have to be set in Eclipse's run configurations properties:
For windows set these environment parameters
set QTDIR to
C:\Qt\4.6.2
set PATH to
C:\Qt\4.6.2\bin;C:/MinGW\bin
set QMAKESPEC
win32-g++
Very important all libraries have to be build in the same mode, either release or debug.
"Note: HaiQ and Monkey Studio do not provide their own Qt DLLs. In my case, and with all my coworkers that results in a error such as Der Prozedureinsprungspunkt _Z11qUncompessPKhi wurde in der DLL QtCore4.dll nicht gefunden. This error comes if one has Qt DLLs, not build with MinGW on the system which are included in PATH. In my case it was Matlab or Miktex with the path C:/programme\Matlab\R2007a\bin\win32;C:/Programme\MiKTeX 2.7\miktex\bin. The only solution to this problem is to delete all paths from the PATH variable which contain a Qt DLL. This however can prevent these programms from starting. There are also projects, not build with Qt and not designed for Qt " => many QtCore4.dll in PATH (from Matlab, Nokia PC Suite, Eclipse...) Solution: set PATH="C:/MinGW\bin;C:/Qt\4.4.3\bin;"
