Tyro/Windows-Build.md

Building on Windows

In order to keep a consistent build system, Tyro is build with MinGW and Msys. This software allows for a *nix-style build environment on Windows.

Build Environment Setup:

1. Download MinGW installer

2. Install MinGW & MSyS (at least the following packages)

   • mingw-developer-toolkit
   • mingw32-base
   • mingw32-gcc-g++
   • msys-base

3. Add {MinGW Path}\bin and {MinGW Path}\msys\1.0\bin to the system Path environment variable

4. Get the latest wxWidgets 3.0 installer for Windows, and install

5. Open the Msys prompt at {MinGW Path}\msys\1.0\msys.bat. You'll probably want a shortcut to this, as it is what will be used for compiling everything from here on.

6. Install Git

Build SFTP Dependencies

1. Run git clone https://github.com/timw4mail/Tyro-depends.git in the folder of your choice.
2. Run sh ./buildssh2.sh to build the dependencies.

Build Tyro

In the source folder, run make dev run to build the develop version and run it immediately
