Hello, I've noticed that nobody has yet created a Windows x64 build of TORa yet, so I did (-: Starting from Fedora 15, a very alpha Mingw64 x64 cross compiler became available. Remarkably, it was not too difficult changing the x386 build scripts to use Mingw64. On Fedora 16, Mingw64 is more stable and I have distributed this build to a couple co-workers and it is apparently working well. (I have about 15 co-workers happily working various x386 builds over the past several years. I'm a Linux guy don't use it myself except on some of our client's Windows servers.) Now I cleaned up, documented and tested the scripts on Fedora 17 (beta). I have ready a small zip file containing a detailed how-to, relevant scripts and some screen shots of tora64 running under WINE and Windows7 x64. The how-to also describes how to set up the Fedora 17 development environment for the build. The advantages of using Mingw64: 1. This is completely Windows-free software without the flourish and fanfare of a proper Windows installation. I have slipped this on to computers without having administrative rights. 2. It can easily be run from a USB drive. 3. There are no annoying dependencies on certain Windows DLLs. Some of the earlier official TORa windows builds were problematic for this but I didn't know if this was a problem with a goofy installation of Windows or what. 4. This is a bleeding-edge build: TORa SVN# 4300, Oracle Instant Client 11.2.3, QT 4.8, QScintilla2 2.6.1 Disadvantages: 1. No support for MySQL, PostgreSQL, ODBC (although ODBC shows up in the connection list when run under WINE??). 2. This is a bleeding-edge build: Tora SVN# 4300, Oracle Instant Client 11.2.3, QT 4.8, QScintilla2 2.6.1 (-; Please contact me at zip...@ya... (see About TORa) and I will be happy to submit the how-to and scripts as well as provide the actual build if desired. Cheers. |

Do you have a sourceforge userid? If so, let me know and I'll get you added to be able to upload the build and add your build scripts to the repo/etc. Thank you! -- Nathan On 05/06/2012 04:20 PM, Zippy Dufus wrote: > Hello, > > I've noticed that nobody has yet created a Windows x64 build of TORa yet, so I did (-: > > Starting from Fedora 15, a very alpha Mingw64 x64 cross compiler became available.

I've added you as a project developer, so you should have access to the files release area and SVN/etc. Once you log in to sf and the project page, you should see additional options available for uploading to the files areas. I'll try to take a look soon on adding the relevant files to SVN. I don't currently have a windows build environment set up, but might be a reason to bring one online again. -- Nathan On 05/06/2012 06:48 PM, Zippy Dufus wrote: > OK ... one more time! > > This time, the attachment is called Tora64.txt.

I have successfully uploaded tora64-zd.2.1.4.4300.mingw64.zip in the tora-experimental folder. There is a README.txt file included this zip file which explains how to install.

Hello, I have also uploaded tora-zd.2.1.4.4304.mingw32.zip in the tora-experimental folder. This is the 32 bit MinGW build and was done using almost the identical procedure and scripts as the Mingw64 build. Both build environments are set up on the same Fedora 17 x64 virtual machine. I'll send another package with the mingw32 scripts and the how-to in a week or so after I get some time to edit and review it. I suggest that when you include these in SVN, there will now be 2 folders under a MinGW folder such as MinGW/Tora64 and MinGW/Tora32. Perhaps the original directory (win32-cross) could be removed since it is out-of-date. I'm also looking at the Fedora 17 source rpm for mingw32(and 64)-qt to see if the spec file can be easily altered to build the MySQL (and PostgreSQL) plugin as well. No promises with this though! Cheers. |

For the moment, I've just added this as mingw32 dir in the repo... No time at the moment to integrate it... There are definitely a few of the patches that could be tweaked and merged in. Since I've got a f17 box as my home desktop I should be able to run through this build when I have a chance to. -- Nathan On 05/15/2012 06:32 AM, Zippy Dufus wrote: > Again, I had to use the advanced technology trick to fool your email server - I renamed the attached zip file to txt. > > Cheers. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* Zippy Dufus <zip...@ya...> > *To:* Nathan Neulinger <nn...@ne...>; "tor...@li..." <tor...@li...> > *Sent:* Tuesday, May 15, 2012 7:23 AM > *Subject:* Re: [Tora-develop] Procedure for creating a Windows x64 build using the Mingw64 cross-compiler on Fedora 17 > > As promised, attached is a zip archive containing the how-to and scripts for the MinGW32 build. > > Cheers. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* Zippy Dufus <zip...@ya...> > *To:* Nathan Neulinger <nn...@ne...>; "tor...@li..." <tor...@li...> > *Sent:* Tuesday, May 8, 2012 10:03 PM > *Subject:* Re: [Tora-develop] Procedure for creating a Windows x64 build using the Mingw64 cross-compiler on Fedora 17 > > Hello, > > I have also uploaded tora-zd.2.1.4.4304.mingw32.zip in the tora-experimental folder. > > This is the 32 bit MinGW build and was done using almost the identical procedure and scripts as the Mingw64 build.
