#summary Instructions for building Hedgewars on Windows
#labels Phase-Implementation,Phase-Design,Phase-Support
= Prerequisites =
# CMake - http://cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
# FreePascal - http://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/win32-ftp.freepascal.org.var

# Install FreePascal.
# Install Qt SDK, with the "Custom" option:
* Check "Qt SDK/Miscellaneous/MinGW <any version>"!
* Check "Qt SDK/Development Tools/Desktop Qt/Qt <your version>/Desktop Qt <your version> - Mingw (it's the first checkbox)
* Uncheck "Qt SDK/Development Tools/Symbian Toolchains"
* Uncheck "Qt SDK/Development Tools/Harmattan"

{{{
hg clone https://hedgewars.googlecode.com/hg/ trunk
}}}
# Extract the Windows Building Archive to the hedgewars source folder, in the *bin* directory
# Go to the "bin/build_windows.bat" file, and modify the following:
* SET PASCAL=<put the path to the directory that contains fpc's executable (fpc.exe)> (for example: c:\FPC\2.4.4\bin\i386-win32\)
* SET SET QTDIR=<path to the QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\<your version>> (for example: c:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\)
# You can now build hedgewars, by running the *bin/build_windows.bat* command.
= Building process =
Run the *bin/build_windows.bat* file each time you want to build the source.
