## 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 Download the mingw win32api: http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/w32api-3.6.tar.gz?download Install mingw, msys and mingw-dtk. Stage Two: Download, extract, compile openssl ---------------------------------------------- Download openssl: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8c.tar.gz Extract openssl: cp openssl-0.9.8c.tar.gz tor-mingw/ cd tor-mingw/ tar zxf openssl-0.9.8c.tar.gz Make openssl.dll: cd tor-mingw/openssl-0.9.8c/ cd crypto/ find ./ -name "*.h" -exec cp {} ../include/openssl/ \; find ./crypto/ -type f -name "*.c" -exec cp {} test/ \ cd ../ssl/ find ./ -name "*.h" -exec cp {} ../include/openssl/ \; cp *.h ./include/openssl/ cp ssl/ssltest.c test/ ./Configure mingw make Note: this fails in test due to: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `sha256t.o', needed by `sha256t.exe'. Stop. --need to research this - phobos 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: cp zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz tor-mingw/ cd tor-mingw/ tar zxf zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz Make zlib1.dll: cd tor-mingw/zlib-1.2.3/ make -f win32/Makefile.gcc Done. Stage Four: Download, extract, and patch libevent-1.1b. ------------------------------------------------------ Download libevent-1.1b: http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ Start up MSYS: Start -> Programs -> MinGW -> MSYS -> msys Create a directory to work within, for example, /c/tor-mingw. Copy libevent and tor tarballs into this working dir: cp /path/to/libevent-1.1b.tar.gz /c/tor-mingw/ cp /patch/to/tor-alpha.tar.gz /c/tor-mingw/ cd /c/tor-mingw/ Extract libevent: tar zxf libevent-1.1b.tar.gz Extract tor: tar zxf tor-alpha.tar.gz Copy the libevent-1.1b diff into libevent-1.1b: cp /c/tor-mingw/tor/Win32Build/mingw/libevent-1.1b-mingw-custom.diff /c/tor-mingw/libevent-1.1b/ patch -i libevent-1.1b-mingw-custom.diff --This is a complete hack right now: remove from event.c and log.c: #ifdef __GNUC__ #include "WIN32-Code/misc.h" #else #include "misc.h" #endif Run "aclocal && autoheader && automake && autoconf". There may be WARNING messages. There will be no output if all runs successfuly. Run "./configure" Run "make" Run "make install" Stage Five: Build Tor ---------------------- Extract the latest tor from svn in tor-mingw dir: tar zxf latest-tor-alpha.tar.gz cd tor-alpha ./autogen.sh ./configure (less magic happens here and a complete tor-alpha.exe is created)
