Installation on Woe32 (WinNT/2000/XP/Vista/7, Win95/98/ME): There are three ways to create binaries of this package for Woe32: 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. For these, please see the normal INSTALL file. =============================================================================== Installation instructions on Woe32 with Cygwin, compiling for mingw32: - Requires the cygwin tools, with the mingw32 compiler and runtime packages. - Build instructions: Make sure that cygwin's 'bin' directory is the first entry in PATH. Run bash. ./configure --host=i386-pc-mingw32 CC="gcc-3 -mno-cygwin" make make check make install =============================================================================== Installation instructions on Woe32 with MS Visual C/C++ 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, or 7.0: - Requires MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 or 7.0. Note that binaries created with MSVC 7.0 should not be distributed: They depend on a closed-source library 'msvcr70.dll' which is not normally part of a Woe32 installation. You cannot distribute 'msvcr70.dll' with the binaries - this would be a violation of the GPL and of the Microsoft EULA. You can distribute the binaries without including 'msvcr70.dll', but this will cause problems for users that don't have this library on their system. Therefore it is not recommended. This problem does not occur with MSVC 6.0 and earlier. - Cannot build in a separate directory. - Build instructions: Make sure that the MSVC4.0 or MSVC5.0 or MSVC6.0 utilities ("cl" etc.) are found in PATH. For shared library (DLL): **NOT YET SUPPORTED** nmake -f Makefile.msvc DLL=1 MFLAGS=-MD check For static library: nmake -f Makefile.msvc check If you want to build both the shared and static library, you have to unpack the libsigsegv sources twice in different directories. Don't mix the two formats; you cannot use the sigsegv.h generated for the static library together with the shared library or vice versa. - Installation: Copy sigsegv.h to your header file repository. Copy sigsegv.lib to your library repository. If you built for shared library, also copy sigsegv.dll into one of the directories listed in your PATH, or into the directory containing the executable which shall make use of libsigsegv.
