How to compile eepe on Windows platform?

Post by flybabo »

I couldn't find any instructions for building eepe on Windows platform.
Where can I find it?
Thanks.

First off, you need to install QtCreator, do you have this?

Yes, I have.
Are you using MINGW to compile eepe?

OK, you also need a copy of SVN to be able to get the code from the googlecode page: http://code.google.com/p/eepe/source/checkout.

Once you have the code, I think all you need to do is double click on the eepe.pro file and the project will open in Qt, then just click the build button.

I can grab a copy of svn for Windows but which compiler should I install?
Do I have to install cygwin with gnu tool chain on Windows?
Thanks,
HT

I may be wrong, but I thought when you installed QtCreator, it installed the compiler at the same time.
You should have a QtSDK directory in "program files" and this should have a mingw sub-directory with the compiler in it (in the bin sub-directory).

Actually, I don't need to install QtCreator unless I modify the .ui files at Windows.
I installed MinGW and MinGW version of Qt 4.8.5 library.
I checked out source code using svn coming with Cygwin.
Compilation was successful but it crashed at QtCore4.dll.
(qmake followed by make -f Makefile.Release)
Any idea? I don't have any problem building this on Ubuntu and Mac OS/X.
Thanks.

My batch file has the following in it:
cd eepe-build-desktop
del ui_*.h
qmake ../src/eepe.pro -spec win32-g++
make release

I'm not on 4.8.5 on windows, something earlier. I am using 4.8.5 in a virtualbox for linux. I'm just starting to see if there is any way I could build for the MAC, we really need to be able to release up to date versions of eepe and eepskye for the MAC. I'm looking into trying to get a MAC OS running in a virtualbox as well.

I've tried this and that but no luck to build a working version of eepe on Windows 7.
I just uploaded Mac version of eepe-r393.dmg on another thread.
