== Create initial directory ==
 
Create a directory for VCMI development, eg. C:\VCMI
 
We will call this directory as '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]'''
 
 
 
It is recommended to avoid non-ascii characters in the path to your VCMI development folder. The folder should not be write-protected by system.
 
Good location:
 
* C:\VCMI
 
Bad locations:
 
* C:\Users\Michał\VCMI (non-ascii character)
 
* C:\Program Files (x86)\VCMI (write protection)

== Clone VCMI ==
 
* open SourceTree
 
* File -> Clone
 
* select '''https://github.com/vcmi/vcmi/''' as source
 
* select '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/vcmi/source''' as destination
 
* click '''Clone'''
 
 
 
== Install Qt bundle ==
 
* Run installer
 
* Select latest Qt for mingw and mingw 4.8.2 from tools
 
* Select '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/qt''' as destination folder
 
* Add '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/Qt/Tools/mingw482_32/bin''' to '''PATH''' system variable.
 
 
 
== Unpack libraries ==
 
* Download libraries pack and unpack it in '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/depends''' folder
 
 
 
So, you should get
 
*[VCMIBUILD_DIR]
 
**depends
 
***bin
 
***include
 
***lib
 
***share
 
 
 
= Compiling =
 
== Create toolchain file ==
 
Create [VCMIBUILD_DIR]/toolchain.txt
 
<pre>
 
SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Windows)
 
SWT(VCMIBUILD_DIR [ENTER YOUR VCMIBUILD_DIR PATH])
 
 
 
SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER  ${VCMIBUILD_DIR}/Qt/Tools/mingw482_32/bin/gcc.exe)
 
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER ${VCMIBUILD_DIR}/Qt/Tools/mingw482_32/bin/g++.exe)
 
 
 
SET(ENV{BOOST_ROOT} ${VCMIBUILD_DIR}/boost)
 
 
 
SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH  ${VCMIBUILD_DIR}/depends)
 
list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH})
 
list(APPEND CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${VCMIBUILD_DIR}/Qt/5.3/mingw482_32)
 
 
 
SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM BOTH)
 
SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY BOTH)
 
SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE BOTH)
 
</pre>
 
 
 
== Compile boost ==
 
* Unpack boost archive
 
* Execute
 
<pre>
 
bootstrap.bat gcc
 
b2 toolset=gcc --without-python --stage
 
</pre>
 
* copy '''stage/lib''' to '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/boost/lib'''
 
* copy '''boost''' dir to '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/boost/boost'''
 
So, you should get
 
*[VCMIBUILD_DIR]
 
**boost
 
***boost
 
***lib
 
 
 
== Compile VCMI ==
 
* Open CMake-gui
 
* Select '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/vcmi/source''' as source directory
 
* Select '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/vcmi/binary''' as binary directory
 
* click "Configure"
 
* Select "MinGW makefiles" in combobox
 
* Select "Specify toolchain file for crosscompiling"
 
* Select toolchain file
 
* Set variables:
 
** CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/vcmi/result'''
 
** ENABLE_PCH = OFF (because of cc1plus.exe crash)
 
* click '''Configure'''
 
* click '''Generate'''
 
* go to '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/vcmi/binary''' directory
 
* execute '''mingw32-make'''
 
* execute '''mingw32-make install'''
 
* Grab VCMI in '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/vcmi/result''' folder!

== How to compile ZLib yourself ==
 
* Unpack archive to temp folder, for example, '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/zlib/src'''
 
* Open CMake-gui
 
* Select '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/zlib/src''' as source directory
 
* Select '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/zlib/bin''' as binary directory
 
* click "Configure"
 
* Select "MinGW makefiles" in combobox
 
* Select "Specify toolchain file for crosscompiling"
 
* Select toolchain file
 
* Set variables:
 
** INSTALL_BIN_DIR = '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/depends/bin'''
 
** INSTALL_INC_DIR = '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/depends/include'''
 
** INSTALL_LIB_DIR = '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/depends/lib'''
 
** INSTALL_MAN_DIR = '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/depends/share/man'''
 
** INSTALL_PKGCONFIG_DIR = '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/depends/share/pkgconfig'''
 
* click '''Configure'''
 
* click '''Generate'''
 
* go to '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/zlib/bin''' directory
 
* execute '''mingw32-make'''
 
* execute '''mingw32-make install'''
 
 
 
== How to compile FFmpeg yourself ==
 
* Download Msys ([http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/external-binary-packages/msys%2B7za%2Bwget%2Bsvn%2Bgit%2Bmercurial%2Bcvs-rev13.7z/download link]) and unpack it to '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/msys'''
 
* Download Yasm ([http://yasm.tortall.net/Download.html link]) and unpack it to '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/msys/bin'''
 
* Download FFmpeg source tarball and unpack it to temp folder, for example, '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/ffmpeg/source'''
 
* Open '''[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/msys/msys.bat'''
 
* Go to '''/c/[VCMIBUILD_DIR]/ffmpeg/source''' folder
