• Installation on Microsoft Windows:
  
  There are three ways to create binaries of this package for Microsoft Windows:
  1) Native binaries, built using the mingw tool chain.
  2) Native binaries, built using the MS Visual C/C++ tool chain.
  3) Binaries for the Cygwin environment.
  
  ===============================================================================
  1) Native binaries, built using the mingw tool chain.
  
     I recommend to use the Cygwin environment as the development environment
     and mingw only as the target (runtime, deployment) environment.
     For this, you need to install
       * Cygwin (from https://cygwin.com/),
       * some packages available from the Cygwin package installer:
           make
       * the mingw cross-compilation tools and runtime package, available from
         the Cygwin package installer (setup-x86_64.exe):
         - for creating 32-bit binaries: packages
             mingw64-i686-gcc-core,
             mingw64-i686-headers,
             mingw64-i686-runtime
         - for creating 64-bit binaries: packages
             mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core,
             mingw64-x86_64-headers,
             mingw64-x86_64-runtime
  
     Building 32-bit binaries for mingw is achieved through the following
     preparation, configure, and build commands:
  
        PATH=/usr/local/mingw32/bin:$PATH
        export PATH
        ./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/mingw32 \
              CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc \
              CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mingw32/include -Wall" \
              LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/mingw32/lib"
        make
        make check
  
     Building 64-bit binaries for mingw is achieved through the following
     preparation, configure, and build commands:
  
        PATH=/usr/local/mingw64/bin:$PATH
        export PATH
        ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/usr/local/mingw64 \
              CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc \
              CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mingw64/include -Wall" \
              LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/mingw64/lib"
        make
        make check
  
     Installation:
  
        make install
  
  ===============================================================================
  2) Native binaries, built using the MS Visual C/C++ tool chain.
  
     Note that binaries created with MSVC have a distribution constraint: They
     depend on a closed-source library ('msvcr90.dll' for MSVC 9.0,
     'vcruntime140.dll' for MSVC 14.0, and so on) which is not normally part of
     a Windows installation.
     You cannot distribute 'vcruntime*.dll' with the binaries - this would be a
     violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA.
     You can distribute the binaries without including 'vcruntime*.dll'. Users
     who don't have this library on their system will require to pull some files
     (api-ms-win*.dll) through the Windows Update mechanism, see
     https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226 .
  
     This recipe requires MS Visual C/C++ 9.0 or newer.
     You don't need the Visual Studio IDE, just the C/C++ tool chain.
     As of 2016, you can install the MS Visual C/C++ 14.0 tool chain from
     http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools (it's the file
     visualcppbuildtools_full.exe).
  
     This recipe requires also a Cygwin environment (with 'bash', the common POSIX
     commands, and 'make') as a build environment. Building with 'nmake' is not
     supported.
     For this, you need to install
       * Cygwin (from https://cygwin.com/),
       * some packages available from the Cygwin package installer:
           make
  
     You also need the scripts 'ar-lib' and 'compile' from
       https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/ar-lib;hb=HEAD
       https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/compile;hb=HEAD
     respectively.
     They may also be included in this package, in directory 'build-aux/'.
     Save them; the instructions below assume that you stored them in $HOME/msvc/.
     Make them executable:
        chmod a+x ar-lib compile
  
     Start a bash (from Cygwin).
  
     Make sure that the MSVC tools ("cl" etc.) are found in PATH and the
     environment variables INCLUDE and LIB are set appropriately.
     In a typical MSVC 9.0 installation, it can be achieved by running
       C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat
     In a typical MSVC 14.0 installation on Windows 10, it can be achieved
     - for creating 32-bit binaries: through the following bash commands:
  
        # Set environment variables for using MSVC 14,
        # for creating native 32-bit Windows executables.
  
        # Windows C library headers and libraries.
        WindowsCrtIncludeDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt'
        WindowsCrtLibDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\'
        INCLUDE="${WindowsCrtIncludeDir};$INCLUDE"
        LIB="${WindowsCrtLibDir}x86;$LIB"
  
        # Windows API headers and libraries.
        WindowsSdkIncludeDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\'
        WindowsSdkLibDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\'
        INCLUDE="${WindowsSdkIncludeDir}um;${WindowsSdkIncludeDir}shared;$INCLUDE"
        LIB="${WindowsSdkLibDir}x86;$LIB"
  
        # Visual C++ tools, headers and libraries.
        VSINSTALLDIR='C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0'
        VCINSTALLDIR="${VSINSTALLDIR}"'\VC'
        PATH=`cygpath -u "${VCINSTALLDIR}"`/bin:"$PATH"
        INCLUDE="${VCINSTALLDIR}"'\include;'"${INCLUDE}"
        LIB="${VCINSTALLDIR}"'\lib;'"${LIB}"
  
        export INCLUDE LIB
  
     - for creating 64-bit binaries: through the following bash commands:
  
       # Set environment variables for using MSVC 14,
       # for creating native 64-bit Windows executables.
  
       # Windows C library headers and libraries.
       WindowsCrtIncludeDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.10240.0\ucrt'
       WindowsCrtLibDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.10240.0\ucrt\'
       INCLUDE="${WindowsCrtIncludeDir};$INCLUDE"
       LIB="${WindowsCrtLibDir}x64;$LIB"
  
       # Windows API headers and libraries.
       WindowsSdkIncludeDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\'
       WindowsSdkLibDir='C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\'
       INCLUDE="${WindowsSdkIncludeDir}um;${WindowsSdkIncludeDir}shared;$INCLUDE"
       LIB="${WindowsSdkLibDir}x64;$LIB"
  
       # Visual C++ tools, headers and libraries.
       VSINSTALLDIR='C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0'
       VCINSTALLDIR="${VSINSTALLDIR}"'\VC'
       PATH=`cygpath -u "${VCINSTALLDIR}"`/bin/amd64:"$PATH"
       INCLUDE="${VCINSTALLDIR}"'\include;'"${INCLUDE}"
       LIB="${VCINSTALLDIR}"'\lib\amd64;'"${LIB}"
  
       export INCLUDE LIB

  3) Binaries for the Cygwin environment.
  
     The generic instructions in the INSTALL file apply. But here are more
     specific ones.
  
     You need to install
       * Cygwin (from https://cygwin.com/),
       * some packages available from the Cygwin package installer:
           make
       * the Cygwin [cross-]compilation tools package, available from
         the Cygwin package installer (setup-x86_64.exe):
         - for creating 32-bit binaries: packages
             cygwin32-gcc-core,
             cygwin32
         - for creating 64-bit binaries: packages
             gcc-core
  
     Building 32-bit binaries for Cygwin must be done in a directory *outside*
     the Cygwin /home and /usr hierarchies. It is achieved through the following
     preparation, configure, and build commands:
  
        PATH=/usr/local/cygwin32/bin:/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/sys-root/usr/bin:$PATH
        export PATH
        ./configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin --prefix=/usr/local/cygwin32 \
              CC=i686-pc-cygwin-gcc \
              CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/cygwin32/include -Wall" \
              LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/cygwin32/lib"
        make
        make check
  
     Building 64-bit binaries for Cygwin is achieved through the following
     preparation, configure, and build commands:
  
        PATH=/usr/local/cygwin64/bin:$PATH
        export PATH
        ./configure --host=x86_64-pc-cygwin --prefix=/usr/local/cygwin64 \
              CC=x86_64-pc-cygwin-gcc \
              CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/cygwin64/include -Wall" \
              LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/cygwin64/lib"
        make
        make check
