## Instructions for building Tor with MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) ## Stage One: Download and Install MinGW. --------------------------------------- Download mingw: http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-5.0.3.exe?download Download msys: http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download Download the mingw developer tool kit: http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe?download Install mingw, msys and mingw-dtk. Create a directory called "tor-mingw". Stage Two: Download, extract, compile openssl ---------------------------------------------- Download openssl: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8d.tar.gz Extract openssl: Copy the openssl tarball into the "tor-mingw" directory. Type "cd tor-mingw/" Type "tar zxf openssl-0.9.8d.tar.gz" Make openssl libraries: Type "cd tor-mingw/openssl-0.9.8d/" Type "./Configure mingw" Edit Makefile and remove the "test:" and "tests:" sections. Type "rm -rf ./test" Type "cd crypto/" Type "find ./ -name "*.h" -exec cp {} ../include/openssl/ \;" Type "cd ../ssl/" Type "find ./ -name "*.h" -exec cp {} ../include/openssl/ \; Type "cd .." Type "cp *.h include/openssl/" # The next steps can take up to 30 minutes to complete. Type "make" Type "make install" Alternatively: Download the pre-compiled openssl for win32. Install and proceed. Stage Three: Download, extract, compile zlib --------------------------------------------- Download zlib source: http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz Extract zlib: Copy the zlib tarball into the "tor-mingw" directory Type "cd tor-mingw/" Type "tar zxf zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz" CHOICE: Make zlib.a: Type "cd tor-mingw/zlib-1.2.3/" Type "./configure" Type "make" Type "make install" OR Make zlib1.dll: Type "cd tor-mingw/zlib-1.2.3/" Type "./configure" Type "make -f win32/Makefile.gcc" Done. Stage Four: Download, extract, and patch libevent-1.1b. ------------------------------------------------------ Download libevent-1.3b: http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ Copy the libevent tarball into the "tor-mingw" directory. Type "cd tor-mingw" Extract libevent: Type "tar zxf libevent-1.3b.tar.gz" Type "./configure --enable-static --disable-shared" --------------------libevent 1.3b only--------------------------------------- You need to manually edit the Makefile and remove all references to "sample". libevent 1.3b won't compile in mingw currently due to issues in event_test.c. Removing the "sample" directory and all references to it in Makefile create a completely valid libevent library. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Type "make" Type "make install" Stage Five: Build Tor ---------------------- Download the current Tor alpha release from http://tor.eff.org/download.html. Copy the Tor tarball into the "tor-mingw" directory. Extract Tor: Type "tar zxf latest-tor-alpha.tar.gz" cd tor- Type "./configure --enable-static --disable-shared" Type "make" You now have a tor.exe in src/or/. This is Tor. You now have a tor_resolve.exe in src/tools/.
