Build status

This aims to have everything one needs to build file on windows with visual studio.

Checkout with submodules

git submodule update --init --recursiv

External Dependencies

  • regex: I am using PCRE2 version 10.30. Unfortunately this is not available on github with tags, so I commited it in this repo. I copied pcre2posix.h to regex.h.
  • dirent: Dirent is not available on windows, so I used a implementation from tronkko.
  • getopt: A similar problem exists with getopt, so I used a implementation from skandhurkat.

Linking

  • all the dependencies are statically linked or compiled into the dll
  • There is a .def file in windows headers describing the exports for the linker
  • Since dirent defines some of the symbols used in files readelf.c and magic.c the include is "patched" into them in the CMakeLists.txt

Updating file

  • Checkout the version in the file submodule.
  • Update CMakeLists.txt
  • Update appveyor.yml

Updating pcre2

  • I disabled the test in the CMakeFile.txt manually, the rest is vanilla.
