The environment

===============

installed mingw 5.0.2 with C++ and mingw-make from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml

installed msys 1.0.11-2004.04.03-1 from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml

installed msysDTK-1.0.1 (autoconf, automake, libtool...) from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml

.profile

========

Here is the .profile I use in my msys home directory:

echo "loading .profile"

export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -ggdb3 -mms-bitfields"

export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -ggdb3 -mms-bitfields"

export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/c/mingw/include"

export PATH="$PATH:/c/mingw/bin"

export GTK_HOME="/opt/gtk"

export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I$GTK_HOME/include"

export PATH="$GTK_HOME/bin:$GTK_HOME/lib:$PATH"

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$GTK_HOME/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="$ACLOCAL_FLAGS -I $GTK_HOME/share/aclocal"

export PCRE_HOME="/opt/pcre"

export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I$PCRE_HOME/include"

export PATH="$PATH:$PCRE_HOME/bin"

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PCRE_HOME/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

export GMIME_HOME="/opt/gmime"

export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I$GMIME_HOME/include"

export PATH="$GMIME_HOME/bin:$GMIME_HOME/lib:$PATH"

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$GMIME_HOME/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

PCRE

====

Like XNews and slrn, Pan uses the perl-compatable regex library.

* Install PCRE from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/pcre.php

to c:\msys\1.0\opt\pcre.

You don't need any of the installer's start menu stuff for Pan.

GTK

===

I used wget and unzip to grab the zipped windows gtk binaries from gtk.org.

If you get them some other way then you won't need wget/unzip:

* Install unzip from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/unzip.php

to c:\msys\1.0

You don't need any of the installer's start menu stuff for Pan.

* Install wget from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/downlinks/wget.php

to c:\msys\1.0

You don't need any of the installer's start menu stuff for Pan.

* Go visit http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html to find out what the

latest supported gtk runtime environment is. (Example: right now it's 2.8)

That is the version of GTK that we will grab in the next step.

* Copy gtk a set of the latest gtk windows zipfiles to c:\msys\1.0\opt\gtk .

Here are the files I got, though you should get newer versions if available.

GMIME

=====

Get a GMime tarball into /opt/gmime and prepare to build it.

% mkdir -p /opt/gmime/src

% cd /opt/gmime/src

% wget http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/sources/v2.1/gmime-2.1.19.tar.gz

(or newer, if available)

% tar xfz gmime*gz

% cd gmime*/

GMime requires regular expressions.

Since we're already using pcre, we can adapt GMime to use that:

* in tests/Makefile.am,

add /opt/pcre/lib/libpcreposix.dll.a /opt/pcre/lib/libpcre.dll

to the LDADDS line.

* in gmime-2.0.pc.in,

add /opt/pcre/lib/libpcreposix.a /opt/pcre/lib/libpcre.a

to the LIBS line.

* in gmime/gmime-parser.c:

- #include <regex.h>

+ #include <pcre.h> // pick up PCRE_DATA_SCOPE macro used by pcreposix.h

+ #include <pcreposix.h>

GMime won't build under Windows without the following changes:

* in Makefile.am,

remove the line "SUBDIRS += dests docs"

* in gmime/Makefile.am,

remove the line with "gmime-gpg-context.c"

* in gmime/gmime-stream.h,

add #include <stdio.h> before #include <glib.h>

* in gmime/gmime-stream-fs.c,

replace "return fsync" with "return 0"

Build and install GMime.

% ./configure --prefix=/opt/gmime \

--with-libiconv-prefix=/opt/gtk \

--disable-shared --enable-static

(how to fix the LIBICONV warning during configure?)

% make

% make install

PAN

===

Pan itself is pretty painless.

% tar xfj pan-win.tar.bz2

% cd pan

% CXXFLAGS="-O -Wall -ggdb3" ./configure

% make

You now have a working Pan binary in pan/gui/.

Notice that when you run it, it looks like a theme-less gtk.

If you now install the gimp gtk runtime, and copy the pcre dlls from

/opt/pcre/bin/*dll to the pan executable's directory, you can fire up

a gtk-wimp'ified version of Pan from outside of msys.
