wpr3287 Build Instructions

Using MinGW

wpr3287 can be built on Windows using the MinGW tools under Cygwin. For more information about MinGW, visit the MinGW webpage. For more information about Cygwin, visit the Cygwin webpage.

The minimum set of Cygwin packages needed to build wpr3287 are:

[optional] If you want SSL support, you will need to build a MinGW OpenSSL library. That requres the following packages:

[optional] To build and install the OpenSSL library, use the following Cygwin shell commands:
   cd /usr/src/openssl-*
   ./Configure --prefix=/usr/local/mingw-openssl mingw
   make
   make install

To build wpr3287 (with or without SSL support) start a Cygwin shell, cd to the directory where the source code resides, and type:

   make

wpr3287 was developed primarily on 32-bit Windows XP, but should be buildable on Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000. It has not been built or tested on 64-bit Windows or on Windows Vista.

Using Microsoft Tools

To build wpr3287 using Microsoft Visual C++, start a Command Prompt window. At the command prompt, 'cd' to the wpr3287 source directory, and type:
   nmake /f Msc\Makefile

This will build wpr3287.exe. The DLLs it depends on are part of the wc3270 package and need to be built separately.

Note that the resulting version of wpr3287 will not include SSL support. To build wpr3287 with a statically-linked OpenSSL library, you must modify Msc\Makefile; instructions for doing that are included in the file.
