Visual Studio 2013 solution for gettext-0.19.4 and libiconv-1.14
================================================================
This lets you build libintl (from gettext) and libiconv with Visual Studio 2013.
(These two libraries are just enough to build Minetest with gettext support.)
Notes:
- This repository contains neither any precompiled binaries nor the full
source code of gettext & libiconv. See below for where to get
the source code and how to build it.
- Output will be: libintl.dll, libintl.lib, libiconv.dll, libiconv.lib.
- None of the utilities (such as xgettext) will be built.
- This has only been tested with Visual Studio Express 2013.
- 32 bit and 64 bit builds are both supported.
Instructions
============
1. Clone this repository or extract a zipped version of it somewhere.
2. Download gettext-0.19.4.tar.gz from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.19.4.tar.gz
and libiconv-1.14.tar.gz from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.14.tar.gz
3. Extract them both into the gettext-msvc directory.
You can use 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to extract .tar.gz archives.
The directory structure should then look like this:
gettext-msvc
|-- gettext.sln
|-- gettext-0.19.4
| |-- libintl.vcxproj
| |-- config.h
| |-- libgnuintl.h
| |-- gettext-runtime
| | |-- intl
| | | `-- (lots of source files)
| | `-- (and more...)
| `-- (and more...)
`-- libiconv-1.14
|-- libiconv.vcxproj
|-- config.h
|-- iconv.h
|-- localcharset.h
|-- src
| |-- iconv.c
| `-- (and more...)
`-- (and more...)
4. Open gettext.sln in Visual Studio 2013.
5. Select a configuration (Release or Debug) and a platform (Win32 or x64)
and click BUILD -> Build Solution.
Once this is done, the .dll and .lib files are in one of the following
directories (depending on the chosen configuration and platform):
gettext-msvc/Release-Win32
gettext-msvc/Release-x64
gettext-msvc/Debug-Win32
gettext-msvc/Debug-x64
