Compiling EiffelStudio on WinXP:

This section summarizes the so far rather painful process of compiling EiffelStudio. The platform for which the following description applies is MS Windows XP SP2 using the MSDN PSDK-x86.exe and the free MS C-compiler. The system was set up according to the description which can be found at: [[1]].

The compilation process follows the basic steps described at: [[2]].


Milestones

M1 June 12, 2006

Installed the new release 5.7.59395 announced at [[3]]

Modified the automatic build scripts[[4]].

This led to a version of EiffelStudio that was able to create new basic projects. For some mysterious reasons the debugger worked also for simple projects, but nobody else could replicate this. Hence, it is not clear whether this debugger version was running correctly.

M2 June 16, 2006

Step -1: Installed new release 5.7.59623 because it was recommended on es-devel and the previous version began to choke on current checkouts.

Step 0: Setting the environment variables: 

rem ******
rem Cygwin
rem ======
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin\bin

rem ************
rem EiffelStudio
rem ============
rem General Eiffel path
set EIFFEL_PATH=%CD%
rem Eiffel source directory
set EIFFEL_SRC=%EIFFEL_PATH%\57dev
rem Eiffel delivery directory
set EIFFEL_DELIVERY=%EIFFEL_PATH%\57comp

rem *********
rem ISE Paths
rem =========
set ISE_EIFFEL=C:\Programme\Eiffel57\59623
set ISE_PLATFORM=windows
set ISE_C_COMPILER=msc
set ISE_LIBRARY=%EIFFEL_SRC%

rem **********
rem Subversion
rem ==========
rem SVN checkout URL
set SVNURL=https://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/svn/es

Step 1: svn checkout 

svn co %SVNURL%/branches/soft-arch/Src 57dev
svn co %SVNURL%/branches/soft-arch/Delivery 57dev/Delivery
svn co %SVNURL%/branches/soft-arch/free_add_ons 57dev/free_add_ons

rem the following update is also extended by revision number
cd 57dev
svn up 
svn up free_add_ons
svn up Delivery

Step 2: gobo extraction 

cd %EIFFEL_SRC%\library

set file_cygwin=/cygdrive/%EIFFEL_SRC::=%/free_add_ons/gobo/gobo_34_win.tgz
set file_cygwin=%file_cygwin:\=/%

bash -c "tar -xvzf %file_cygwin%"

Step 3: Compile Run-Time 

cd %EIFFEL_SRC%/C
call configure win32 m

Step 4: Compile Libraries 

cd %EIFFEL_SRC%/library/net/Clib
svn up %REVNRSTR%
call make_msc.bat

cd %EIFFEL_SRC%/library/vision2/Clib
svn up %REVNRSTR%
call make_msc.bat

cd %EIFFEL_SRC%/library/wel/Clib
svn up %REVNRSTR%
call make_msc.bat

Step 5: Compile C-Libraries 

cd %EIFFEL_SRC%/C_library/zlib
call make_msc.bat

cd %EIFFEL_SRC%/C_library/libpng
call make_msc.bat

Step 6: Compile Compiler 

cd %EIFFEL_SRC%/Eiffel/library/cli_writer/Clib
nmake

Step 7: Compile EiffelStudio 

cd %EIFFEL_SRC%\Eiffel\Ace
"%ISE_EIFFEL%\studio\spec\windows\bin\ec.exe" -config ec.ecf -target bench -c_compile

echo Running finish_freezing.exe...
cd "%EIFFEL_SRC%\Eiffel\Ace\EIFGENs\bench\W_code"
"%ISE_EIFFEL%\studio\spec\windows\bin\finish_freezing.exe"

Conclusion: Unfortunately doing the above on Revision 59860 produces a version that cannot create new base projects.
