1Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP, Win95/98/ME): 2 3- Requires MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0. 4 5 Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 should not be distributed: They 6 depend on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part 7 of a Woe32 installation. You cannot distribute 'msvcr70.dll' with the 8 binaries - this would be a violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA. 9 You can distribute the binaries without including 'msvcr70.dll', but this 10 will cause problems for users that don't have this library on their system. 11 Therefore it is not recommended. This problem does not occur with MSVC 6.0 12 and earlier. 13 14- Cannot build in a separate directory. 15 16- Build instructions: 17 18 Make sure that the MSVC4.0 or MSVC5.0 or MSVC6.0 or MSVC7.0 utilities 19 ("cl" etc.) are found in PATH. In a typical MSVC6.0 installation, this 20 can be achieved by running 21 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat 22 In a typical MSVC7.0 installation, it can be achieved by running 23 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat 24 25 Decide which compilation model you will use: 26 MFLAGS=-ML (the default) Single-threaded, statically linked - libc.lib 27 MFLAGS=-MT Multi-threaded, statically linked - libcmt.lib 28 MFLAGS=-MD Multi-threaded, dynamically linked - msvcrt.lib 29 30 For shared library (DLL): 31 32 nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD 33 34 For static library: 35 36 nmake -f Makefile.msvc 37 38 If you want to build both the shared and static library, you have to 39 unpack the libiconv sources twice in different directories. Don't mix 40 the two formats; you cannot use the libcharset.h and localcharset.h 41 generated for the static library together with the shared library or 42 vice versa. 43 44- Installation: 45 46 Manual minimal installation: 47 48 Copy include/libcharset.h and include/localcharset.h to your header 49 file repository. 50 Copy lib/charset.lib to your library repository. 51 If you built for shared library, also copy lib/charset.dll into one of 52 the directories listed in your PATH, or into the directory containing 53 the executable which shall make use of libcharset. 54 55 Complete and automatic installation: 56 57 nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install prefix=InstallBaseDirectory 58 or 59 nmake -f Makefile.msvc install prefix=InstallBaseDirectory 60
