[Cppcms-users] Need help building cppcms on win xp

[Szilágyi Z. <zol...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am new to cppcms. I tried to compile it on Debian 7 squeeze following the instructions. Everything working flawless.
But on  win xp I have really hard time, 3 days spent on it, without success.This is mostly because of the dependencies I guess.

It  is really hard to get the right  binaries, even getting the right binaries there could be version number issue.And compiling from source code, all of the dependencies with the latest version available   would be the right think to do, but it is huge pain in the ass to do that.

Ok: I still don't get it to make the thinks working on win xp. Running nmake test I get:

31% tests passed, 58 tests failed out of 84

Total Test time (real) =  13.69 sec

Strange thing that noticed on Linux there are 93 tests for the same cppcms-1.0.4 while on windows it seems to be
84.( I could be because of crash maybe during the tests.)


Somebody could help me to install cppcms on windows xp? Or somebody could supplying the right  dependencies ( or at least their version numbers).


Mingw build would be a better option for windows xp vs MSVC?

If anybody succeeded installing cppcms on  win xp could share his experience with me? 


Btw it would not be a good idea to share the needed dependencies via install.exe for windows, or a zip file, copy -paste way, supposing that the dependencies don't change in a way that could affect cppcms builds?

( I made once  a time application in qt and I made also Linux version. For the windows I have setup.exe. So I want to build setup also for Linux version but just could not find good alternative for setup exe style  only  deb, rpm... packages so I ended in writing a bash file for the setup in Linux.Windows and Linux differ so choosing a path that works fine one system it is very hard on the other so I guess for windows should exists something in windows style.At least dependencies via install.exe)


Thank you,
