    First, be sure you have installed win32libs.

    Instructions below apply to msvc and mingw.

    msvc and mingw: Either

    • Download the latest winDBus sources (which are already patched) and extract them into place like C:\svn\windbus, or
    • Get the latest svn sources; in this case use
      svn co https://windbus.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/windbus/trunk windbus

    msvc and mingw: Creating the build dir. Once you have the source code,

    cd c:\svn\windbus
    patch -p0 < DBus-win32.patch
    cd ..
    mkdir windbus-build
    cd windbus-build
    cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005" ..\windbus\cmake\
    

    (use -G "MinGW Makefiles" for the mingw compiler)

    msvc and mingw: for debug build, add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug before "-G".

    msvc: dbus.sln solution file will be created. Build and install the Debug and Release builds with the IDE. You can switch between the Debug and Release configuration in the Build -> Configuration Manager menu.

    msvc tip: to perform compilation and installation from the command line, type:

    devenv /build Debug /project INSTALL dbus.sln
    devenv /build Release /project INSTALL dbus.sln
    

    msvc: then use

    nmake
    nmake install
    

    (in the build directory)

    mingw: then use

    mingw32-make
    mingw32-make install
    

    (in the build directory)

    Default target for the installation is %PROGRAMFILES%\dbus.
