INSTALL-0.10.Windows

The following instructions describe how I (Glad Deschrijver) managed to
compile QtikZ under Windows.

Install dependencies:
---------------------

1. First download the LGPL version of the "Qt SDK for Windows" at
http://qt.nokia.com/downloads
Install the Qt SDK by running the downloaded file.  Select MinGW gcc as
the compiler.

2. Download "KDE for Windows" at http://windows.kde.org/download.php and follow
the installation instructions at
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Installation
Select the "End User" install mode and the "MinGW" compiler mode.  In the
"Package Selection" select to install "okular" (its dependencies including
the poppler libs will be included automatically).

3. Copy the DLL files of poppler and its dependencies from the bin directory
inside the "KDE for Windows" installation directory to the win32/poppler
directory in the qtikz source directory.  The following DLL files must be
copied:
  iconv.dll
  jpeg62.dll
  libfontconfig.dll
  libfreetype.dll
  liblcms-1.dll
  libopenjpeg.dll
  libpng12.dll
  libpoppler.dll
  libpoppler-qt4.dll
  libxml2.dll
  zlib1.dll
After this stage, "KDE for Windows" can be uninstalled as it is not needed
for compiling or running qtikz.

4. Download the poppler source code from http://poppler.freedesktop.org/ and
extract the following header files from the downloaded .tar.gz file and put
them also in the win32/poppler directory:
  poppler-annotation.h
  poppler-export.h
  poppler-link.h
  poppler-optcontent.h
  poppler-page-transition.h
  poppler-qt4.h

Compile qtikz:
--------------

Open Qt Creator, select in the "File" menu "Open File or Project" and click
on qtikz.pro in the qtikz source directory.  In the Qt Creator main window
select "Projects", in the "Build Steps" click on "Add build step" -> "Make"
and change the "Make arguments" to "install" (without the quotes).  Then push
the "Build All" button to install qtikz.  You will find the qtikz.exe
executable in the directory specified in the PREFIX variable in defaults.pri
(in the win32 section of that file) or conf.pri.

Alternatively, launch the "Qt command prompt" in the Qt submenu of the Windows
Start menu and in the qtikz source directory run the following commands:
  qmake qtikz.pro
  mingw32-make
  mingw32-make install

Create installer:
-----------------

Download NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) from
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download
Run the qtikz.nsi script in the installation directory to create the Windows
installer.
