# Midori for Windows

## For Linux developers

### Dependencies

Midori for Windows is compiled on a Linux host and MinGW stack. For the current build Fedora 18 packages are used. Packages needed are listed below:

yum install gcc vala intltool

For a native build

yum install libsoup-devel webkitgtk3-devel sqlite-devel

For cross-compilation

yum install mingw{32,64}-webkitgtk3 mingw{32,64}-glib-networking mingw{32,64}-gdb mingw{32,64}-gstreamer-plugins-good

Packages needed when assembling the archive

yum install faenza-icon-theme p7zip mingw32-nsis greybird-gtk3-theme

Installing those should get you the packages needed to successfully build and develop Midori for Win32.

### Building

For 32-bit builds:

mkdir _mingw32
cd _mingw32
mingw32-cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=0
make
sudo make install

For 64-bit builds:

mkdir _mingw64
cd _mingw64
mingw64-cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=0
make
sudo make install

Once built and tested you can assemble the Midori archive with a helper script

32-bit build:

env MINGW_PREFIX="/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw" ./win32/makedist/makedist.midori

64-bit build:

env MINGW_PREFIX="/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/" ./win32/makedist/makedist.midori x64

### Testing

For testing your changes a real system is recommended because WebKitGTK+ doesn't work properly under Wine. Mounting your MinGW directories as a network drive or shared folder in a Windows VM is a good option.

## For Windows developers

### Prerequisites

* [MinGW](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.8-release/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.8.0-win32_rubenvb.7z/download) *mingw64 rubenvb*/ gcc 4.8.0 ([Releases](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.8-release))
* [7zip](http://www.7-zip.org/download.html) ([32bit Installer](http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sevenzip/7z920.exe)) to extract archives
* [Python3](http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.5) to use **download-mingw-rpm.py**.
* [download-mingw-rpm.py](https://github.com/mkbosmans/download-mingw-rpm/blob/master/download-mingw-rpm.py) to fetch and unpack rpm's
* [Msys](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/External%20binary%20packages%20%28Win64%20hosted%29/MSYS%20%2832-bit%29/MSYS-20111123.zip/download) contains shell and some small utilities
* [CMake](http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html) ([Installer](http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.12.2-win32-x86.exe))
* [Vala](http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/vala/0.20/vala-0.20.0.tar.xz)


> **Spoilers:** 32-bit versions are known to be more stable at the time of this writing.

### Using download-mingw-rpm.py

* Launch `cmd.exe` and navigate to the folder where the script was saved.
* Make sure that Python can access `7z.exe`.
* Run the following command and wait for it to extract the packages into your current directory:
* `c:\Python33\python.exe download-mingw-rpm.py -u http://ftp.wsisiz.edu.pl/pub/linux/fedora/linux/updates/18/i386/ --deps mingw32-webkitgtk mingw32-glib-networking mingw32-gdb mingw32-gstreamer-plugins-good`

See [Fedora 18 packages](http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Everything/i386/os/Packages/m/).

> **Spoilers:** Use `msys.bat` to launch a shell
> **Spoilers:** Upstream WebKitGTK no longer supports Windows the latest code can't be built for or run on Windows. Instead there's a separate port available.
