install windows
install pike for windows
install vc++ 6.0 or vc2008
install git for windows
install wix v2? v3.5 won't work with vc2008, the v2 installer won't work with the "free" edition of vc2008.
git clone pike repo
git checkout -b nt-tools origin/nt-tools
copy nt-tools someplace
add pike and nt-tools directory to your nt-path
run vc32env.bat to add vc++ environment variables
add wix2 to path
add pike to path
share a folder between the unix "configure" box and the win-nt box.
start sprshd on windows box: pike sprshd

VC6.0: If using vc older than 8, edit rntcl and define OLD_VC. Create $HOME/.init_ntrc:

REMOTE_METHOD="sprsh"
NTHOST="192.168.1.102"
NTDRIVE="Z:"
NTPORT=9999
NTMOUNT=/Users/hww3/
NTLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/hww3/win32libs/lib
RNTCL_VC=12

on configure box, run nt-tools/init_nt then, run configure normally:

CC=rntcl LDFLAGS="-LZ:/win32libs/lib" CPPFLAGS="-IZ:/win32libs/include" CXX=rntcl make

Getting an error 267 create_process on sprshd can mean that the drive and directory you specify in the configure - to - build drive mapping isn't right (wrong drive or wrong folder)

VC6.0: When compiling system/nt.c, you may get an error about PIDLIST_ABSOLUTE not being defined. This can be remedied with the following typedef:

typedef ITEMIDLIST *PIDLIST_ABSOLUTE;

VC6.0: STRUNCATE isn't defined, so fdlib.c will fail. The following define should resolve the problem:

#ifndef STRUNCATE
#define STRUNCATE 80
#endif /*STRUNCATE*/

Building Nettle

CC=rntcl ./configure --disable-assembler --build=i686-pc-windows_nt

VC6.0 doesn't support the 0nnULL syntax for specifying a 64 bit constant; you must remove the "LL" from all such definitions, otherwise errors will occur.

Copy nettle.lib and nettle/*.h to appropriate places in win32libs.

Details and Background

Martin Sternholm is the current "master builder" for Windows. He put together a lengthy and informative document describing the steps involved in preparing a windows build. This document is a must-read for anyone interested in building Pike for Windows themselves.
