If you don't already +have the GTK+ libraries, get them at my web dia site gtk+-bin-YYYY-MM-YY.zip. +They have to be found by DIA, so put them in the same dir as DIA.EXE, +please DON'T interchange them with the versions provided with The Gimp. + +BTW: I'm currently *not* planning to provide a setup program.

Some of the problems in Dia may be caused by bugs +in these libraries, because they are on heavy development as +well. + +For more information about the port or GLib, GTk+ and the GIMP to +native Windows, and pre-built binary packages, see +http://www.gimp.org/win32/ or http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/ . + +The only compiler used for the Win32 is Microsoft Visual C (5.0). +There are four hand written makefiles, which are available in cvs, +too. Beside Gtk+ there are some additional libraries required +(gdk-pixbuf, libxml, libart). They are all available in cvs but +using them on Win32 required minimal changes. I'll try to provide +developement version of the cuurently used versions on my website +very soon. + +Compiling Dia (Win32) +--------------------- +Currently only the Micro$oft VC 5.0 compiler is supported (VC 6.0 should +work). +-1) Create your build environment (normally based on tml's latest Gtk+ + snapshot).

But this may take + some while, because they need to be conform with Gnome maintenance. +1) Get the latest Dia sources from cvs. +2) nmake -f makefile.msc in directories lib, app, objects, plug-ins +3) If the build succeeded, fine. If not, fix the sources and send me patches + or use the binaries. Please don't bother me with beginners questions about + C, VC, makefiles, etc.. Because I'm doing the port in my free time, which + is generally limited. + Instead of answering beginners questions, you probably want me to use my + spare time, to build the latest, greatest Dia version. +4) Copy the files to their directories (see binary package) + +Have Fun, + Hans Breuer <Hans@Breuer.Org> |
