# Compilation instructions
## General Tools
First of all, install **Git for Windows** from <https://git-for-windows.github.io/>.
Choose `Use Git from the Windows command prompt`. This isn't mandatory, so if you choose
`Use Git from Git Bash only` make sure you set the `MPCHC_GIT` variable in `build.user.bat`.
## Part A: Preparing the Visual Studio environment
### Visual Studio 2017 or 2015
1. Install Visual C++, part of Visual Studio (any edition will work fine).
Make sure to select **Windows 8.1 SDK** and **MFC and ATL support** during installation.
2. Make sure you have installed all available updates from Microsoft Update
3. Install the DirectX SDK (June 2010) → <https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=71193>
## Part B: Preparing the GCC environment
1. Download MSYS2 from <http://www.msys2.org/>.
If you are on a 64-bit Operating System, which you should be, get the 64-bit version.
2. Install it on **`C:\MSYS\`**. You can always install it somewhere else, but these instructions
assume the aforementioned place.
3. Run `msys2_shell.bat` (if you didn't use the installer you must restart MSYS2 after first run).
4. Install the needed software by running these commands:
```text
pacman -Syu
pacman -Su
pacman -S make pkg-config
```
Note that this is the bare minimum, you can install more packages that can be useful to you.
5. Download YASM and save it as **yasm.exe** in **`C:\MSYS\usr\bin`**:
* 32-bit: <http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.3.0-win32.exe>
* 64-bit: <http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.3.0-win64.exe> (Recommended)
6. Download and extract MinGW to **`C:\MSYS\mingw\`** from <http://files.1f0.de/mingw/>
(you might use the one that ships with MSYS2, but we recommend this one)
7. Create a file named **build.user.bat** in **`C:\mpc-hc\`** containing the following entries,
adapted for your system:
```bat
@ECHO OFF
SET "MSYSTEM=MINGW32"
SET "MPCHC_MSYS=C:\MSYS"
SET "MPCHC_MINGW32=%MPCHC_MSYS%\mingw"
SET "MPCHC_MINGW64=%MPCHC_MINGW32%"
REM You can set `MSYS2_PATH_TYPE` here or in environment variables so that Git is properly added to your `PATH`
REM SET "MSYS2_PATH_TYPE=inherit"
REM `MPCHC_GIT` is optional to set if you chose to add it in `PATH` when installing it and have set `MSYS2_PATH_TYPE`
SET "MPCHC_GIT=C:\Program Files\Git"
REM Optional, if you plan to modify the translations, install Python 2.7 or set the variable to its path
SET "MPCHC_PYTHON=C:\Python27"
REM Optional, If you want to customize the winsdk you want to use, set the variable.
SET "MPCHC_WINSDK_VER=8.1"
```
### NOTES
* For Visual Studio 2017, we will try to detect the VS installation path automatically.
If that fails you need to specify the installation path yourself. For example:
```bat
SET "MPCHC_VS_PATH=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\"
```
* If you installed the MSYS/MinGW package in another directory you will have to use that path in the previous steps.
* If you don't have Git installed then the revision number will be a hard-coded one, like 1.6.3.0.
## Part C: Downloading and compiling the MPC-HC source
1. Use Git to clone MPC-HC's repository to **C:\mpc-hc** (or anywhere else you like).
1. Download Git from <https://git-for-windows.github.io/>
2. Run:
```text
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc.git
```
or
```text
git clone https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc.git
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
If a submodule update fails, try running:
```text
git submodule foreach --recursive git fetch --tags
```
then run the update again
```text
git submodule update --init --recursive
```
Note that you can add `-b master` to the `git clone` command if you want to get the latest
stable version instead of the latest development version
2. Open the solution file **C:\mpc-hc\mpc-hc.sln**.
Change the solution's configuration to **Release** (in the toolbar).
3. Press **F7** to build the solution.
4. You now have **mpc-hc.exe** under **C:\mpc-hc\bin\mpc-hc_x86**
5. Open the solution file **C:\mpc-hc\mpciconlib.sln**
6. Press **F7** to build the solution.
7. You now have **mpciconlib.dll** under **C:\mpc-hc\bin\mpc-hc_x86**
8. Open the solution file **C:\mpc-hc\mpcresources.sln**
9. Build **BuildAll** project.
10. You now have **mpcresources.XX.dll** under **C:\mpc-hc\bin\mpc-hc_x86\Lang**
Alternatively, you can use **build.bat** that can build everything for you (run: `build.bat help` for more info)
## Part D: Building the installer
Download Inno Setup Unicode v5.5.9 or newer from <http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php>.
Install everything and then go to **C:\mpc-hc\distrib**, open **mpc-hc_setup.iss** with Inno Setup,
read the first comments in the script and compile it.
### NOTES
* **build.bat** can build the installer by using the **installer** or the **packages** switch.
* Use Inno Setup's built-in IDE if you want to edit the iss file and don't change its encoding since it can break easily.
