Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP, Win95/98/ME):
- Requires MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0.
- Cannot build in a separate directory.
- Build instructions:
Make sure that the MSVC4.0 or MSVC5.0 or MSVC6.0 or MSVC7.0 utilities
("cl" etc.) are found in PATH. In a typical MSVC6.0 installation, this
can be achieved by running
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat
In a typical MSVC7.0 installation, it can be achieved by running
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\VC7\bin\vcvars32.bat
For shared library (DLL):
nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD
or
nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD check
[This runs the testsuite.]
For static library:
nmake -f Makefile.msvc
or
nmake -f Makefile.msvc check [This runs the testsuite.]
If you want to build both the shared and static library, you have to
unpack the libiconv sources twice in different directories. Don't mix
the two formats; you cannot use the iconv.h generated for the static
library together with the shared library or vice versa.
- Installation:
Either:
Copy include/iconv.h to your header file repository.
Copy lib/iconv.lib to your library repository.
If you built for shared library, also copy lib/iconv.dll into one of
the directories listed in your PATH, or into the directory containing
the executable which shall make use of libiconv.
Or:
nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD install prefix=InstallBaseDirectory
or
nmake -f Makefile.msvc install prefix=InstallBaseDirectory
