  • Closed (moved) Issue created by Trac

    Hi,

    I've updated the documentation for building TOR on MinGW, and attached the result (and the patch). Please, consider replacing the file <doc/tor-win32-mingw-creation.txt> with it.

    Here are the main changes:

    • the MinGW installer includes the MSYS and DTK packages, so there no need to download and install them separately.
    • there's no more issue with symlinks for openssl.
    • specifying "mingw" to the "Configure" command is enough to disable openssl ciphers/hashes that don't compile on MinGW.
    • since v1.2.5, zlib needs some extra (?) environment variables for its installation.
    • the libraries download links have been updated so that they point to the latest version to date.
    • instructions for executing unit-tests have been added for the libraries and TOR.

    Maybe zlib should be built before openssl since some optional features of openssl seems to depend on zlib. I followed these instructions in order to build TOR successfully on my WinXP computer.
