Building i2pd for Windows
Building i2pd on Windows
=========================
!!! WARNING This file may be outdated.
There are two approaches available to build i2pd on Windows. The best
one depends on your needs and personal preferences. One is to use
msys2 and [unix alike infrastructure](build_notes_unix.md). Another
one is to use Visual Studio. While there might be no difference for
end users of i2pd daemon, developers, however, shall be wary of
differences in C++ name mangling between the two compilers when making
a choice to be able to link their software against libi2pd.
If you are a stranger to C++ with no development tools installed on
your system and your only goal is to have i2pd up and running from the
most recent source, consider using msys2. Although it relies on
command line operations, it should be straight forward.
In this guide, we will use CMake for both approaches and we will
assume that you typically have your projects in C:\dev\ as your
development location for the sake of convenience. Adjust paths
accordingly if it is not the case. Note that msys uses unix-alike
paths like /c/dev/ for C:\dev\.
msys2
-----
Get it from https://msys2.github.io and update it as described
there. Use the installer appropriate for the bitness of your Windows
OS. You will be able to build 32-bit applications if you install
64-bit version of msys2. For 64-bit, use *mingw-w64-x86_64* prefix
instead of *mingw-w64-i686* for the packages mentioned below, and use
*/mingw64* as CMake find root.
Install all prerequisites and download i2pd source:
```bash
pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-boost mingw-w64-i686-openssl mingw-w64-i686-gcc mingw-w64-i686-miniupnpc cmake git
mkdir -p /c/dev/i2pd
cd /c/dev/i2pd
git clone https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd.git
cd i2pd
```
Check with `git status` that you are on *openssl* branch. If it is not
the case, do `git checkout openssl`.
```sh
git pull origin openssl --ff-only # to update sources if you are rebuilding after a while
mkdir -p mingw32.build # CMake build folder
cd mingw32.build
export PATH=/mingw32/bin:/usr/bin # we need compiler on PATH which is usually heavily cluttered on Windows
cmake ../build -G "Unix Makefiles" -DWITH_UPNP=ON -DWITH_PCH=ON \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=../mingw32.stage -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH=/mingw32
```
If your processor has
[AES instruction set](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set),
you may try adding `-DWITH_AESNI=ON`. No check is done however, it
will compile but will crash with `Illegal instruction` if not supported.
Make sure CMake found proper libraries and compiler. This might be the
case if you have Strawberry Perl installed as it alters PATH and you
failed to override it like mentioned above. You should see something
like
```

```
Now it is time to compile everything. If you have a multicore processor
you can add `-j` flag.
make -j4 install
You should be able to run ./i2pd . If you need to start from the new
shell, consider starting *MinGW-w64 Win32 Shell* instead of *MSYS2 Shell* as
it adds`/minw32/bin` to the PATH.
### Caveats
It is important to restrict PATH as described above. If you have
Strawberry Perl and/or Mercurial installed, it will pick up gcc &
openssl from the wrong places.
If you do use precompiled headers to speed up compilation
(recommended), things can go wrong if compiler options have changed
for whatever reason. Just delete `stdafx.h.gch` found in your build
folder, note the file extension.
If you are an Arch Linux user, refrain from updating system with
`pacman -Syu`. Always update runtime separately as described on the
home page, otherwise you might end up with DLLs incompatibility
problems.
Using Visual Studio
-------------------
Requirements for building:
* Visual Studio 2013 (tested with VS2013 Update 1, Update 3, and Update 4)
* Boost (tested with 1.56, 1.57, and 1.58)
* Crypto++ (tested with 5.6.2)
* [CMake](https://cmake.org/) (tested with 3.1.3)
* [Visual Studio Community Edition](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs.aspx) (tested with VS2013 Update 4)
* [Boost](http://www.boost.org/) (tested with 1.59)
* Optionally [MiniUPnP](http://miniupnp.free.f) (tested with 1.9), we need only few client headers
* OpenSSL (tested with 1.0.1p and 1.0.2e), if building from sources (recommended), you'll need as well
* [Netwide assembler](www.nasm.us)
* Strawberry Perl or ActiveState Perl, do NOT try msys2 perl, it won't work
Building Boost (32-bit)
-----------------------
## Building Boost
Open a Visual Studio x86 command prompt and run the following:
Open a Command Prompt (there is no need to start Visual Studio command
prompt to build Boost) and run the following:
cd C:\path\to\boost\sources
cd C:\dev\boost
bootstrap
b2 toolset=msvc-12.0 --build-type=complete --libdir=C:\Boost\lib\Win32 install --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-regex --with-date_time
b2 toolset=msvc-12.0 --build-type=complete --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-regex --with-date_time
If you are on 64-bit Windows and you want to build 64-bit version as well
Building Boost (64-bit)
-----------------------
b2 toolset=msvc-12.0 --build-type=complete --stagedir=stage64 address-model=64 --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-regex --with-date_time
Open a Visual Studio x64 command prompt and run the following:
After Boost is compiled, set the environment variable `BOOST_ROOT` to
the directory Boost was unpacked to, e.g., C:\dev\boost.
cd C:\path\to\boost\sources
bootstrap
b2 toolset=msvc-12.0 --build-type=complete --libdir=C:\Boost\lib\x64 architecture=x86 address-model=64 install --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-regex --with-date_time
After Boost is compiled, set the environment variable `BOOST` to the directory
Boost was installed to. If you followed the instructions outlined here, you
should set it to `C:\Boost`. Additionally, set the BOOSTVER variable to the
version of Boost that you're using, but instead of a '.' use a '_'. For
example, I have `BOOSTVER` set to `1_58`.
If you are planning on building only particular variant, e.g. Debug
only and static linking, and/or you are out of space/time, you might
consider `--build-type=minimal`. Take a look at
[appveyor.yml](../appveyor.yml) for details on how test builds are done.
Building Crypto++
Building OpenSSL
-----------------
* Open the crypttest Solution in VS2013
* Visual Studio will ask to update the Solution/Project. Allow it.
* Build the `cryptopp` project, both the Debug and Release targets and for both
Win32 and x64.
* Create a folder called `cryptopp` in the crypto++ source directory, then copy
the header files to this new directory.
* Set the `CRYPTOPP` environment variable pointing to the Crypto++ source directory.
Download OpenSSL, e.g. with git
git clone https://github.com/openssl/openssl.git
cd openssl
git checkout OpenSSL_1_0_1p
Building i2pd
Now open Visual Studio command prompt and change directory to that with OpenSSL
set "PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\nasm"
perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\OpenSSL-Win32
ms\do_nasm
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install
You should have it installed into C:\OpenSSL-Win32 by now.
Note that you might consider providing `-DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR` to CMake
and/or create a symlink (with mklink /J) to C:\OpenSSL if you plan on
maintaining multiple versions, e.g. 64 bit and/or
static/shared. Consult `C:\Program Files
(x86)\CMake\share\cmake-3.3\Modules\FindOpenSSL.cmake` for details.
Get miniupnpc
-------------
## Prep work ##
If you are behind a UPnP enabled router and don't feel like manually
configuring port forwarding, you should consider using
[MiniUPnP](http://miniupnp.free.fr) client. I2pd can be built capable
of using miniupnpc shared library (DLL) to open up necessary
port. You'd want to have include headers around to build i2pd with
support for this. Unpack client source code in a sibling folder,
e.g. C:\dev\miniupnpc . You may want to remove version number from
folder name included in downloaded archive.
Note that you might need to build DLL yourself for 64-bit systems
using msys2 as 64-bit DLLs are not provided by the project.
I strongly advise setting up your own `INCLUDES` and `LIBS` instead of relying
on the settings in the i2pd project file. By using your own settings, if the
i2pd devs change the paths in the project file, your builds will still work.
To do this, create or edit the file
`%localappdata%\Microsoft\MSBuild\v4.0\Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user`.
Creating Visual Studio project
------------------------------
For comparison, my file is reproduced below:
Start CMake GUI, navigate to i2pd directory, choose building directory, e.g. ./out, and configure options.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="12.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<ImportGroup Label="PropertySheets">
</ImportGroup>
<PropertyGroup Label="UserMacros" />
<PropertyGroup>
<LibraryPath>$(CRYPTOPP)\$(Platform)\Output\$(Configuration);$(BOOST)\lib\$(Platform);$(LibraryPath)</LibraryPath>
<IncludePath>$(CRYPTOPP);$(BOOST)\include\boost-$(BOOSTVER);$(IncludePath)</IncludePath>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemDefinitionGroup />
<ItemGroup />
</Project>
Alternatively, if you feel adventurous, try that from the command line
```
cd <i2pd_dir>
mkdir out
cd out
cmake ..\build -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -DWITH_UPNP=ON -DWITH_PCH=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=C:\dev\Debug_Win32_stage
```
If you want to build x64 binaries as well, you'll want to edit or create the
file `%localappdata%\Microsoft\MSBuild\v4.0\Microsoft.Cpp.x64.user`. If you
followed the steps outlined earlier you can copy (or link) the win32 file to
the x64 one.
WITH_UPNP will stay off, if necessary files are not found.
## Anti-Climatic End ##
Building i2pd
-------------
After following the above instructions, you'll be able to build Debug Win32,
Debug x64, Release Win32, and Release x64 i2pd binaries.
You can open generated solution/project with Visual Studio and build
from there, alternatively you can use `cmake --build . --config Release --target install` or
[MSBuild tool](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd293626.aspx)
`msbuild i2pd.sln /p:Configuration=Release`.
