INSTALL

This is the INSTALL file for the 'rivendell-producer' package.

PREREQUISITES
-------------
To build the package from source, you will need the following packages
installed and properly configured:

Qt4 Toolkit, v4.6 or later (http://www.qt.io/).

Rivendell Web C API ('rivwebcapi'). Included with Rivendell 3.x.


BUILDING
--------
Once the prequisites are set up, building the software is mostly a matter of
doing:

    ./configure
    make
    make install  [as 'root']

On RedHat-ish systems (RHEL, CentOS, Fedora, etc) you can also make an
RPM by doing:

    make rpm


BUILDING WINDOWS BINARIES
-------------------------
The build system for rivendell-producer uses the MinGW (Minimalist GNU for
Windows) environment for building Windows binaries, available at
http://www.mingw.org/. It is also possible to build such binaries on CentOS 7
using the MinGW cross-compiler packages (available in EPEL). The follow command
will install the necessary packages:

yum install mingw32-pkg-config mingw32-headers mingw-binutils-generic mingw32-libtiff mingw32-qt mingw32-sqlite-static mingw32-qt-static mingw32-pixman mingw32-gettext mingw32-libogg mingw32-openssl mingw32-libmad mingw-filesystem-base mingw32-crt mingw32-zlib mingw32-libjpeg-turbo mingw32-expat mingw32-qt-qmake mingw32-binutils mingw32-gcc-c++ mingw32-dbus mingw32-sqlite mingw32-zlib-static mingw32-libtiff-static mingw32-libpng-static mingw32-libjpeg-turbo-static mingw32-bzip2 mingw32-fontconfig mingw32-win-iconv mingw32-termcap mingw32-glib2 mingw32-cairo-static mingw32-libsamplerate mingw32-libvorbis mingw32-libltdl mingw32-libssh2 mingw32-curl mingw32-filesystem mingw32-winpthreads mingw32-cpp mingw32-gcc mingw32-libpng mingw32-dbus-static mingw32-winpthreads-static mingw32-freetype mingw32-libffi mingw32-cairo mingw32-libsndfile mingw32-opus mingw32-libidn mingw32-nsis

The following
environmental variables need to be configured in the MinGW configuration on
CentOS 7:

Environmental Variables for Cross-compiling for Windows
-------------------------------------------------------
export MINGW32_SYS_ROOT=/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$MINGW32_SYS_ROOT/lib/pkgconfig

export CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
export CXX=i686-w64-mingw32-g++
export WINDRES=i686-w64-mingw32-windres

Then, build the windows binaries as follows:

      ./autogen.sh
      ./configure --prefix=$MINGW32_SYS_ROOT --host=i686-w64-mingw32
      make

An NISI-based installation package can be built by doing:

   make nsis-installer
