 ==== Installing MinGW ==== ==== Installing MinGW ====
  
-MinGW is a gcc compiler for Windows. You need it to build X2Go Client. For the time being, X2Go Client uses Qt 4.8.specifically. Qt-4.8.5 for Windows should be used with MinGw-4.4. Unfortunately, you can not download binaries for this version from MinGW project site any more. You can build it from source or download it from [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/tools/MinGW-gcc440_1.zip|X2Go Site ]]+MinGW includes the GCC compiler suite for Windows. You need it to build X2Go Client. 
 + 
 +Since X2Go Client 4.0.3.0, X2Go Client uses Qt 4.8.specifically. Qt 4.8.6 uses MinGW 4.8.x. Qt 4.8.6 for Windows recommends this specific build of MinGW, so it is this specific build that you should use.

 +</code>
  
 +=== Building From Source ===
 +
 +If you want to rebuild the library (e.g., to backport fixes) or update it as part of the release process, follow these steps.
 +
 +== Preparation ==
 +
 +Download the tarball from [[https://www.libssh.org/get-it/|the libssh website]].
 +
 +Unpack it as usually. The X2Go Project keeps libssh source code at ''D:\Build\libssh\''.
 +
 +Adapt any required patches so that they apply cleanup, build and work correctly.
 +
 +We currently patch libssh to include support for PuTTY's Pageant ssh agent.
 +
 +To rebase patches, the X2Go Project uses the private git repository at ''D:\Build\libssh\libssh-git'':
 +  * update the repository: <code>git fetch origin</code>
 +  * check out new release tag (or branch or whatever you intend to build later on): <code>git checkout ... (e.g., libssh-0.9.3)</code>
 +  * create new branch based on the tag/commit/branch/...: <code>git branch ...-win32 (e.g., libssh-0.9.3-win32)</code>
 +  * cherry-pick specific X2Go-related commits from older branches, one ''cherry-pick'' command per commit to be ported: <code>git cherry-pick ...-win32 (e.g., libssh-0.7.4-win32)</code>
 +  * fix any merge conflicts, pull in other upstream code etc.
 +  * update the commit message!
 +  * when done, create patch files: <code>git format-patch HEAD~ (for one patch, use ~~ for two patches etc.)</code>
 +
 +Move the patches to the respective source directory and apply them in order.
 +
 +If needed, install or update ''cmake'' on the build machine.
 +
 +== Configuration ==
 +
 +Open a terminal window. Crucially, this must **not** be a ''Cygwin'' instance.
 +
 +Make sure that the MinGW toolchain that was used to build Qt (and will be used to build X2Go CLient later on) is part of the %PATH% variable. On the X2Go Windows Builder, a session spawned via ''cmd.exe'' typically fulfills this requirement. Additionally, use the same ''zlib'' version for building both ''Qt'' and ''libssh''.
 +
 +Go to the unpacked source directory: <code>D:; cd Build\libssh\libssh-...</code>
 +
 +Create and switch to a build subdirectory: <code>mkdir build; cd build</code>
 +
 +The pre-built libssh versions in ''x2goclient-contrib'' contain a file called ''CMake-Show-My-Changes.txt''. Use this as a reference for building.
 +
 +Call ''cmake'' to configure the project, example (adapt to your system!): <code>"C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake.exe" -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="D:/Build/libssh/libssh-staging" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH="D:/i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3/mingw32/bin/gcc.exe" -DCMAKE_LINKER:FILEPATH="D:/i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3/mingw32/bin/ld.exe" -DZLIB_LIBRARY_RELEASE:FILEPATH="D:/x2goclient-contrib/zlib/1.2.8_bin/zlib1.dll" -DWITH_GSSAPI:BOOL="0" -DWITH_NACL:BOOL="0" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING="Release" -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:FILEPATH="D:/i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3/mingw32/bin/mingw32-make.exe" -DWITH_EXAMPLES:BOOL="0" -DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="D:/Build/zlib/zlib-1.2.8/" -DLIB_EAY:FILEPATH="D:/OpenSSL-Win32/lib/MinGW/libeay32.a" -DSSL_EAY:FILEPATH="D:/OpenSSL-Win32/lib/MinGW/ssleay32.a" -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="D:/OpenSSL-Win32/include" ..</code>
 +
 +== Build ==
 +
 +Build the software like any other, append ''-j'' and other flags as desired:
 +
 +<code>"D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\bin\mingw32-make.exe"</code>
 +
 +== Install ==
 +
 +It's recommended to make sure that the install staging area is clean (fully deleted or at least empty) before installing/staging the built software.
 +
 +This ensures that old/removed files won't linger around and that changes will not remain undetected.
 +
 +<code>rm -rf "D:\Build\libssh\libssh-staging"
 +"D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\bin\mingw32-make.exe" install</code>
 +
 +Afterwards, clean and install the newly built files into the MinGW prefix:
 +
 +Header files:
 +
 +<code>
 +rm -rf "D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\include\libssh"
 +cp -av "D:\Build\libssh\libssh-staging\include\libssh" "D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\include\libssh"
 +</code>
 +
 +<note>''(dll).a'' files can be static libraries that are being used as "DLL import libraries" on Windows. They do not actually contain the library contents but a mechanism for loading the shared DLL files at run time. This differs from the UNIX concept of the linker automatically generating (unresolved) symbols and ignoring them (if an eventual symbol scanning suceeds) that are automatically resolved at run time.
 +
 +As such, it is important to keep these static DLL import libraries around on Windows, even if library is supposed to be used in a dynamically-linked fashion.</note>
 +
 +
 +Library files:
 +
 +<code>
 +for /R "D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\lib\" %I in (libssh*) do rm -rf "%I"
 +D:
 +cd "D:\Build\libssh\libssh-staging\lib"
 +for %I in (libssh*) do cp -av "%I" "D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\i686-w64-mingw32\lib\"
 +</code>
 +
 +Afterwards, optionally bundle the new libssh source and binaries in x2goclient-contrib. Explicitly document the command line invocation in a file named ''CMake-Show-My-Changes.txt''.

 +===== Building nxproxy & OpenSSH (Optional) ===== 
 + 
 +Building a new version nxproxy or OpenSSH is optional for non-official X2Go project builds
 + 
 +Official X2Go project builds usually rebuild nxproxy and OpenSSH if there are desired updates to those components, or if the cygwin libraries have been updated.
  
-If you want to build nxproxy from sourceyou need install and configure Cygwin first.+Official X2Go project builds are kept under the x2goclient-contrib git repository under a folder like "cygwin\20160121-1_bin" (the latest cygwin libraries as of 2016-01-21) or "cygwin\20160121-2_bin" (the formerwith selective updates). These are then copied over during the Jenkins build process.

 +===== Copying 3rd-party libraries and components ===== 
 + 
 +==== Overview ==== 
 + 
 +To make X2Go Client usable on Windows, all libraries and components must be in the some directory as where the 2 binaries are. 
 + 
 +All of the files referenced below (except for the OpenSSL-Win32 library, which you installed previously) can be obtained from [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient-contrib.git;a=summary|x2goclient-contrib.git]] on http://code.x2go.org 
 + 
 +In the previous step, you chose either the ''dist'' or ''nsis/x2goclient'' folder. To this folder you have to add the following components: 
 + 
 +  * libraries 
 +  * nxproxy with libraries 
 +  * Open SSH Server with libraries (optional) 
 +  * PuTTY 
 +  * VcXsrv 
 +  * PulseAudio (optional) 
 + 
 +==== Scripted Copying ==== 
 + 
 +You can then install all of them by using the ''copy-deps-win32.bat'' script in the x2goclient source folder. 
 + 
 +First, clone [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient-contrib.git;a=summary|x2goclient-contrib.git]] on http://code.x2go.org if you haven't already done so. 
 + 
 +Now run the script with the following arguments. In this example: 
 +  * ''..\x2goclient-contrib'' is the path to the x2goclient-contrib git repo 
 +  * ''D:\OpenSSL-Win32\'' is the path to OpenSSL-Win32's installation folder (not the exact folder with the DLL's) 
 +  * ''dist'' is the subfolder you wish to run x2goclient from 
 +<code> 
 +$ cd x2goclient 
 +$ copy-deps-win32.bat ..\x2goclient-contrib D:\OpenSSL-Win32 dist 
 +</code> 
 +or to the ''nsis/x2goclient'' folder 
 +<code> 
 +$ cd x2goclient 
 +$ copy-deps-win32.bat nsis\x2goclient 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +==== Scripted Copying (debug builds) ==== 
 + 
 +Follow the instructions for Scripted Copying. 
 + 
 +However, at the end: 
 + 
 +  - View the ''copy-deps-win32.bat'' file to determine the location of the Cygwin bundle. 
 +  - From the Cygwin bundle, ''copy nxproxy.exe.unstripped'' to the ''dist'' or ''release/x2goclient'' folder. 
 +  - Replace nxproxy.exe with nxproxy.exe.unstripped 
 + 
 +==== Manual Copying ==== 
 + 
 +=== Libraries === 
 + 
 +  - Add MinGW 4.8's libraries (copy from ''D:\i686-4.8.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev3\mingw32\bin''). 
 +    * ''libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll'' 
 +    * ''libstdc%%++%%-6.dll'' 
 +    * ''libwinpthread-1.dll'' 
 +  - Add OpenSSL libraries (copy from your OpenSSL installation directory) 
 +    * ''libeay32.dll'' 
 +    * ''ssleay32.dll'' 
 +  - libssh library ([[wiki:development:build-howto-mswin:x2goclient#installing_libssh|see above section for download link]]) 
 +    * ''libssh.dll'' 
 +  - zlib library for libssh (available [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/3rd-party/zlib/|here on our site]]) (binaries originally from [[http://www.zlib.net/ | the zlib project]] site) 
 +    * ''zlib1.dll'' 
 +  - If you want to use X2Go Client on older versions of Windows, you should put the "Microsoft Visual C%%++%% Redistributable 2013 Package"'s dll files into your X2Go Client package directory. (Originally downloaded from the [[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29|Microsoft download site]]). 
 +    * ''msvcp120.dll'' 
 +    * ''msvcr120.dll.dll'' 
 +    * ''vccorlib120.dll'' 
 + 
 + 
 +=== nxproxy === 
 + 
 +The latest version is available in [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient-contrib.git;a=tree;hb=HEAD|x2goclient-contrib.git]] under the ''cygwin'' folder. This includes its libraries. 
 + 
 +You can download older versions, including their libraries, from here [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/3rd-party/nxproxy|here]]. 
 + 
 +=== nxproxy (debug builds)=== 
 + 
 +Follow the instructions above for nxproxy. 
 + 
 +Except at the end, replace nxproxy.exe with nxproxy.exe.unstripped. 
 + 
 +Older builds do not have nxproxy.exe.unstripped; that is a limitation of X2Go's old build process. 
 + 
 +=== OpenSSH Server === 
 + 
 +X2Go Client for Windows uses a modified Cygwin OpenSSH Server for file sharing. 
 + 
 +The latest version is available in [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient-contrib.git;a=tree;hb=HEAD|x2goclient-contrib.git]] under the ''cygwin'' folder. 
 + 
 +You can download older versions from [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/3rd-party/openssh-server|here]]. 
 + 
 +=== PulseAudio === 
 + 
 +PulseAudio for Windows 6.0 is used by X2Go Client 4.0.4.x and it is available in [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient-contrib.git;a=tree;hb=HEAD|x2goclient-contrib.git]] under the pulse folder. 
 + 
 +PulseAudio for Windows 5.0 is used by X2Go Client 4.0.3.x and it is available in [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient-contrib.git;a=tree;hb=HEAD|x2goclient-contrib.git]] under the pulse folder. 
 + 
 +You can download older Windows builds here [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/3rd-party/pulse|here]]. 
 + 
 +Note that the files must be installed to the ''pulse'' subfolder of ''dist'' or ''nsis/x2goclient''
 + 
 +Even older Windows builds are available from [[http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Ports/Windows/Support|the PulseAudio project site]] and the above link. 
 + 
 +=== VcXsrv - XP Compatible === 
 + 
 +The latest version is available in [[http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient-contrib.git;a=tree;hb=HEAD|x2goclient-contrib.git]] under the VcXsrv folder. 
 + 
 +You can download older versions, modified by the X2Go project, (VcXsrv - XP Compatible), here: [[http://code.x2go.org/releases/binary-win32/3rd-party/vcxsrv-modified-by-x2go-project/]]. 
 + 
 +Note that the files must be installed to the ''VcXsrv'' subfolder of ''dist'' or ''nsis/x2goclient''
 + 
 +Building VcXsrv from source is not the part of this howto. However, it is documented in the [[https://sourceforge.net/u/mikedep333/vcxsrv/ci/xp-latestmsvc2013-x2gochanges/tree/|source repo]]. 
 + 
 +All official X2Go Project builds use the 32-bit builds of VcXsrv. 64-bit builds are probably compatible with the 32-bit X2Go Client, but have not been tested. Furthermore, the XP compatible builds are only offered in 32-bit. 
 + 
 +If you do install VcXsrv via the setup installer, and you are building X2Go Client 4.0.3.x or later, select to install the fonts. They will be an optional component of X2Go Client for Windows in its installer. 
 + 
 +If you do install VcXsrv via the setup installer, and you are building X2Go Client 4.0.2.1, deselect to install the fonts. They would more than double the size of the X2Go NSIS installer. Some legacy apps do need them, and users can install them if they'd like.
  
 Also, if you are doing an official X2Go Project build, remove these files that X2Go Client does not need and would take up extra space: Also, if you are doing an official X2Go Project build, remove these files that X2Go Client does not need and would take up extra space:

-Also, if you are doing an official X2Go Project build, create this file in the VcXsrv folder: +Also, if you are doing an official X2Go Project build, before importing it into x2goclient-contrib, remove the timestamps from the ''.gz'' files. 
-  *vcxsrv-version.txt +Using Debian's strip-nondeterminism (a perl script that calls a perl library, both of which can be extracted from their deb's & run fine under Cygwin): 
-And specify the version string of VcXsrv in it. The version string should be the only contents of the file. For example:+<code> 
 +$ cd /cygdrive/c/x2gobuilds/x2goclient-contrib/VcXsrv/1.20.1.4_bin/fonts 
 +$ find . -iname '*.gz' -exec strip-nondeterminism '{}' ';' 
 +</code> 
 +If you are doing an official X2Go Project build, create this file in the VcXsrv folder: 
 +  * ''vcxsrv-version.txt'' 
 +And specify the version string of VcXsrv in it. The version string should be the only content of that file. For example:
  
-1.14.3.+1.15.2.3+xp-vc2013+x2go1
-===== PuTTY =====+
  
-you can download PuTTY for Windows from [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html|project site]]. Building PuTTY from source is not the part of this Howto+If you are doing an official X2Go Project build, copy the project'[[https://sourceforge.net/p/vcxsrv/code/ci/master/tree/COPYING|COPYING]] file as: 
 +  * ''COPYING.txt''
  
-These are the only binaries you need from PuTTY. Copy them directly into the ''dist/'' folder.+=== x3270-fonts ====
  
-  *plink.exe +For IBM x3270 compatibility, a special set of fonts is necessary. Official builds use the version shipped in the ''x3270-fonts'' subdirectory of x2goclient-contrib. 
-  *pscp.exe+ 
 +Note that versions prior to 3.6 are classified non-free by major distributions due to their custom, restrictive license. Do **not** use and (re-)distribute older versions than 3.6 with X2Go Client. 
 + 
 +==== Updating x3270 Fonts Package ==== 
 + 
 +  * Check the current licensing situation. Do **not** update the package if it becomes non-free again. 
 +  * Build the x3270 package, download a complete precompiled one or just fetch a binary fonts package. Debian conveniently offers one named [[https://packages.debian.org/sid/xfonts-x3270-misc|xfonts-x3270-misc]]. 
 +  * Create a new versioned subdirectory in the ''x3270-fonts'' directory. 
 +  * Extract the binary fonts. 
 +  * Make sure that all binary font files are located in one single directory called ''misc''
 +  * Get copyright and licensing information and place them into a file called ''copyright-x3270-fonts''. Debian's copyright file is very well suited for this, but please remove content that is not relevant to the fonts themselves. 
 +  * Use Debian's ''strip-nondeterminism'' script: 
 +<code> 
 +$ find misc -iname '*.gz' -exec strip-nondeterminism '{}' ';' 
 +</code> 
 +  * For official builds, create timestamps script: 
 +<code> 
 +$ cd .. 
 +$ ../generate-timestamps-on-folder.sh <new-versions-directory> 
 +</code> 
 +  * For official builds, call the timestamps script in x2goclient-contrib's top-directory script called ''current-timestamp-scripts.sh''
 +  * For official builds, update the [[https://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=blob;f=copy-deps-win32.bat;hb=HEAD|copy-deps-win32.bat in x2goclient.git]] copying step to use the new directory. 
 + 
 +=== PuTTY === 
 + 
 +You can download PuTTY for Windows from [[https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html|project site]]. Building PuTTY from source is not the part of this howto. 
 + 
 +These are the only binaries you need from PuTTY. Copy them directly into the ''dist/'' or ''nsis/x2goclient'' folder. 
 + 
 +  ''plink.exe'' 
 +  * ''pscp.exe'' 
 + 
 +Out of courtesy, we also ship the following additional, not strictly needed binaries: 
 + 
 +  * ''pageant.exe'' 
 +  * ''puttygen.exe'' 
 + 
 + 
 +===== Creating an NSIS Installer ===== 
 + 
 +Install NSIS (currently, 3.05): https://nsis.sourceforge.io 
 + 
 +Previously, we used NSIS Unicode, but this project is stale and NSIS 3.x nowadays supports Unicode. 
 + 
 +Then, edit ''nsis/x2goclient.nsi'' and replace all instances of ''X2GOCLIENT_VERSION'' with the actual version, and any string at the end. For example, if you were doing a test build of fixing bug 123 on top of 4.0.3.2, use ''4.0.3.2-bug123'' as the version string. 
 + 
 +Then, open ''nsis\x2goclient.nsi'' with NSIS. It will build an installer (''*-setup.exe'') and put it into the same directory. 
 + 
 +If you wish to build via the command-line, run: 
 +<code> 
 +$ "C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\makensis.exe" x2goclient.nsi 
 +</code> 
 +(Adjust path if on 32-bit Windows.)
