This HOWTO outlines a method for compiling libartnet on Windows using MinGW to produce the libartnet-1.dll.


Install Mingw, msys & build tools

The instructions at http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS are very helpful. There are similar instructions at http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Installing_MSYS-MinGW

  • Install mingw and msys
  • Download these packages
  • Launch the msys shell
  • Unpack autoconf, automake and libtool to a directory of your choice.
  • Install each of them with the following command:
$ ./configure --prefix=/mingw && make && make install
  • Update PKG_CONFIG_PATH

As all the libraries will be installed in /mingw, PKG_CONFIG_PATH must be set.

Open the file /etc/profile (C:\msys\1.0\etc\profile) with your favorite editor (make sure it uses LF line endings) and add: 

PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/mingw/lib/pkgconfig"

You might also want to set CFLAGS. Safe options for MinGW are: 

CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -mms-bitfields -march=i686"

just before 

export HOME LOGNAME MSYSTEM HISTFILE

and modify that line by adding the variables: 

export HOME LOGNAME MSYSTEM HISTFILE CFLAGS PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Now restart MSYS. You should now be able to use MSYS without problems.

This is the biggest part of the job.

Install Git

See http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/, be sure to select "unix style carriage returns" otherwise you'll get autoconf errors.

Download Libartnet

Grab the libarnet sources (via the git shell or the git UI) 

$ git clone http://www.nomis52.net/git/libartnet

Compile Libartnet

$ cd libartnet
$ autoreconf -i -f 
$ ./configure --prefix=/mingw && make && make install
