You have to install a MinGW environnement. You have to download it here: "http://download.kiwix.org/dev/MozillaBuildSetup-1.4.exe" and install it in the default proposed directory "C:\mozilla-build".
Go to "c:\mozilla-build" with the Windows explorer and start the script start-msvc9.bat. You now have a UNIX shell.
Change the current directory by typing:
Check out the kiwix client code by typing:
svn co https://kiwix.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kiwix/moulinkiwix
You need to install Perl. Download it here:
"http://download.kiwix.org/dev/ActivePerl-5.10.1.1007-MSWin32-x86-291969.msi" and install it in the default directory "c:\Perl\"
You need now to install the free (as free beer) Microsoft Visual Studio express C++ compiler. You can download the installer here:
"http://download.kiwix.org/dev/vcsetup.exe"
To install it, run the self installer. Choose none of the optional features and install it in the default directory: "c:\Program Files\Microsft Visual Studio 9.0\"
If installed sucessfuly run one time VS to configure it and maybe register it (follow the instructions).
You have also to install gcc (for liblzma). You can download it here:
"http://download.kiwix.org/dev/gcc-4.3.0-20080502-mingw32-alpha-bin.7z"
... and unzip it (with 7zip) in "c:\mozilla-build\msys"
You have also to install GNU binutils. Please download it here:
"http://download.kiwix.org/dev/binutils-2.20.1-2-mingw32-bin.tar.gz"
... and extract it in "c:\mozilla-build\msys"
Now we will download, configurate and compile kiwix.
Run the following commands:
> cd /c/mozilla-build/moulinkiwix/ > ./autogen.sh > ./configure > make win
