= Installing Bluefish on Mac OS X =

Download Bluefish-2.2.4.dmg from http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/macosx/, open it and drag the bluefish icon onto Applications.

In Mavericks there is a system setting that only allows you to install via the app-store or Apple signed packages. Bluefish is not signed and not distributed through the app store, so you will have to disable that setting.

= Installing Bluefish on Windows XP or newer =

=== Installing 2.2.5 ===
Download the latest Bluefish installer from the main download server:
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

The installer will require internet access to download GTK+ and any spell check dictionaries. Please note that the internet-enabled setup may fail if the installer is run from a network share. See below for instructions for internet-less installation.

==== Installing without Internet Access ====
Download the latest Bluefish installer from the main download server:
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

Download the GTK+ 2.24.8 installer (from the gtk-win project):
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk-win/gtk2-runtime-2.24.8-2011-12-03-ash.exe?download

Download any language dictionaries you wish to be able to install:
http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/

Place the files in a new directory named 'redist' in the same directory as the Bluefish installer.
e.x.
Bluefish\
Bluefish\Bluefish-2.2.5-setup.exe
Bluefish\redist\gtk2-runtime-2.24.8-2011-12-03-ash.exe
Bluefish\redist\aspell6-en-7.1-0.tbz2

The installer will fall back on downloading the files if they are not found in the redist folder, or if the checksum of the local copy is invalid.

Or if you are not interested in keeping the download file, you can just click on the above link, click on the latest version, and when the pop-up asks you if you want to download or install, you can just click install.

= Installing Bluefish on AltLinux =

=== Installing 2.0 ===
Bluefish 2.0 currently is not in Alt Linux repos, but will soon appear in Sisyphus. 
For the moment, to install it you have to:

wget http://alt.u-nix.eu.org/bluefish/bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.i586.rpm
wget http://alt.u-nix.eu.org/bluefish/bluefish-common-2.0.0rc3-alt1.noarch.rpm
rpm -i bluefish-common-2.0.0rc3-alt1.noarch.rpm bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.i586.rpm

If you want to build it on your system, just do:

wget http://alt.u-nix.eu.org/bluefish/bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.src.rpm
rpm -i bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/RPM/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb bluefish-2.0.0rc3.spec
cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/noarch
rpm -i bluefish-common-2.0.0rc3-alt1.noarch.rpm
For i586 do:
cd /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586
rpm -i bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.i586.rpm
For x86_64 do:
cd x86_64
rpm -i bluefish-2.0.0rc3-alt1.x86_64.rpm

=Installing [http://packages.gentoo.org/package/bluefish Bluefish on Gentoo]=

==Latest Gentoo stable==

emerge bluefish

==Latest available==

echo 'app-editors/bluefish' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords && emerge bluefish

= Installing Bluefish on Slackware =
; Kwick n dirty method
: <tt>$ ./configure && make</tt>
: <tt># make install</tt>
: ''enjoy you are in Slackware ;)''
; But please consider to use a Slackbuild: (you know why)
; Dependencies
Bluefish compiles fine in slack 3.1 or slack elite, without gvfs. wget is your friend.

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) ===
Bluefish needs [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gvfs/ gvfs] if you want to work with remote files.
: GVFS is work in progress. In Slackware, you need to have glib 2.18 (Slack 13.0); GSB (2.28.2) uses glib2 2.22.4 and gvfs 1.4.3. 
Slack 13.37 have glib2-2.28. SBo provide a SlackBuild for [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/system/gvfs/ gvfs-1.6.7]

= Installing Bluefish on OpenSolaris =

A binary package is not yet available in OpenSolaris, you have to compile from source, see [[Compiling_Bluefish_from_source]].

= Installing Bluefish on Mac OS X =

=== Installing 2.2.0 Native (no X11 needed!) ===

Download Bluefish-2.2.0.dmg from http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/macosx/, open it and drag the bluefish icon onto Applications.

Version 2.2.0 should work on OSX 10.5 and 10.6 and OSX Lion 10.7

=== Installing 2.0 Using Macports ===
Install [http://www.macports.org Macports].

Run from Terminal.app

<tt>sudo port install bluefish</tt>

see https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/editors/bluefish/Portfile

=== Installing 2.2 Using Fink ===

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/bluefish

= Installing Bluefish on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 =

=== Installing 2.2.0 ===
Download the latest Bluefish installer from the main download server:
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

The installer will require internet access to download GTK+ and any spell check dictionaries. See below for instructions for internet-less installation.

Bluefish requires a minimum of GTK+ 2.14.7 to be installed and in your system path to run. This version will be installed automatically if it is not found. Currently the maximum supported version is 2.16.6, if you are using a version higher than this Bluefish will be unable to run (The installer will not check for this.) See below for instructions if you require multiple GTK+ versions on your system.

==== Installing without Internet Access ====
Download the latest Bluefish installer from the main download server:
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

Download the GTK+ 2.14.7 installer (from the Pidgin project):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/GTK%2B%20for%20Windows/2.14.7%20Rev%20A/gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe/download

Download any language dictionaries you wish to be able to install:
http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/

Place the files in a new directory named 'redist' in the same directory as the Bluefish installer.
e.x.
Bluefish\
Bluefish\Bluefish-2.2.0-setup.exe
Bluefish\redist\gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe
Bluefish\redist\aspell6-en-7.1-0.tbz2

The installer will fall back on downloading the files if they are not found in the redist folder, or if the checksum of the local copy is invalid.

==== Installing with a Private GTK+ Installation ====
Download the latest Bluefish installer from the main download server:
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

Install Bluefish as you normally would. The current version of the installer will still require an appropriate version of GTK+ to be installed or it will install it automatically (This will be fixed in a future build.) You can cancel the bundled GTK+ installation if prompted.

Download a GTK+ installer between versions 2.14.7 and 2.16.6 from the gtk-win project:
http://sourceforge.net/userapps/mediawiki/alex-sh/index.php?title=Downloads

Install GTK+ (If prompted that you have another version installed, '''''click cancel to continue'''''.)

[[File:Private_gtk_1.png]]
'''''Use these installation settings.'''''

[[File:Private_gtk_2.png]]
'''''Make sure you select your Bluefish installation folder here.'''''

Once installation is complete, Bluefish will not depend on an external GTK+ installation. This can be useful for mixed GTK+ environments and dependency troubleshooting.

= Installing Bluefish on Slackware =
; Kwick n dirty method
: <tt>$ ./configure && make</tt>
: <tt># make install</tt>
: ''enjoy you are in Slackware ;)''
; But please consider to use a Slackbuild: (you know why)
; Dependencies
Bluefish compiles fine in slack 3.1 or slack elite, without gvfs. wget is your friend.

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) ===
Bluefish needs [http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gvfs/ gvfs] if you want to work with remote files.
: GVFS is work in progress. In Slackware, you need to have glib 2.18 (Slack 13.0); GSB (2.28.2) uses glib2 2.22.4 and gvfs 1.4.3. 
Slack 13.37 have glib2-2.28. SBo provide a SlackBuild for [http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/system/gvfs/ gvfs-1.6.7]

= Installing Bluefish on OpenSolaris =

=== Installing 1.0.x (old stable) ===
search for bluefish in the package manager, select and click apply.

=== Installing 2.0.x (current stable) ===
A binary package is not yet available in OpenSolaris, you have to compile from source, see [[Compiling_Bluefish_from_source]].

= Installing Bluefish on Mac OS X =

=== Installing 2.0.1 (current stable) Using Macports ===
Install [http://www.macports.org Macports].

Run from Terminal.app

<tt>sudo port install bluefish</tt>

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) Native (no X11 needed!) ===

Download Bluefish-2.0.3.dmg from http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/macosx/, open it and drag the bluefish icon onto Applications.

Version 2.0.3 should work on OSX 10.5 and 10.6 but not on OSX Lion (10.7)!!.

For OSX Lion (10.7) there is a new dmg, please check out
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/macosx/Bluefish-2.0.3-lion.dmg

= Installing Bluefish on Windows XP/Vista/7 (32 bit) =

=== Installing 2.0.3 (current stable) ===
download Bluefish-2.0.3-setup.exe from the main download server
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

This installer needs internet access because it will download gtk library and the spell checking dictionaries for you.

==== Installing without internet access ====
download Bluefish-2.0.3-1-setup.exe from the main download server
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/

Now download the GTK+ installer (gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pidgin/files/GTK%2B%20for%20Windows/2.14.7%20Rev%20A/gtk-runtime-2.14.7-rev-a.exe/download) and whatever language dictionaries (from http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/) you wish to install and
place them in a directory called 'redist' in the same folder as the
installer. The tagalong install will fall back on downloading the
file if it does not exist locally or the checksum of the local file
does not match the stored value.

= Installing Bluefish on Windows 7 (64 bit) =

Bluefish 2.0.2 on Windows 7 (64 bit) will fail to start with the newest version of GTK+. You have to manually download GTK 2.14.7 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/files/GTK%2B%20Runtime%20Environment/GTK%2B%202.14/gtk2-runtime-2.14.7-2009-01-13-ash.exe/download and install it prior installing Bluefish itself. This will prevent Bluefish installer from donwloading the newest version.

If you already have GTK+ in newer version, you have to uninstall this one, and install version 2.14.7. Otherwise you won't be able to run Bluefish.

Than download Bluefish-2.0.2-setup.exe from the main download server
http://www.bennewitz.com/bluefish/stable/binaries/win32/ and install it.

Bluefish won't run with any newer version of GTK+ than 2.14.7, so do not upgrade this library. If it happens, you'll have to manually downgrade to mentioned version.

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-12-11T02:55:37Z

Shawn Novak: Windows doesn't have a branch anymore.

== Windows Build Status ==

Binary and plugins are running and should be fully functional. If you encounter unexpected behaviour or bugs, please report your problem to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bluefish our BTS].

=== Current Known Issues ===

* Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened externally in a currently running copy of bluefish.
* Launching of external programs doesn't work.
* Editing of UTF files with a BOM headers is not currently supported.

== Setting up your Build Environment ==

The first step is of course to install and setup the MingW and MSYS environments. Start with the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.6/MinGW-5.1.6.exe/download automated MinGW installer]. During installation choose the g++ compiler too ('''do not choose MingW make'''). The preferred location is <tt>C:\MinGW</tt>, but it's not necessary to choose this path. In a second step install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download MSYS base system]. It will ask you for the location of the MingW environment. If you e.g. installed it to <tt>P:\Programs\MinGW</tt>, then type

<pre>p:/programs/mingw</pre>

when you are asked for the location (JFTR: this information will be put into <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in the MSYS environment).

If you know what you are doing, you might alternatively download and unpack (unzip/untar/...) the packages manually.

=== Recent Build Environment Changes ===

If you are maintaining a build environment for Bluefish please check this subsection occasionally for important changes!

;2009-12-10
:If you build your own installers we now use a unicode version of NSIS, [http://www.scratchpaper.com/home Unicode NSIS], to support UTF-8 encoded translations.

;2009-09-23:
:The GNOME packages have been updated to reflect those versions which are included with Pidgin's GTK+ installer. This is currently being used as our target runtime environment for the Installer version of Bluefish. If you're first setting up your build environment you can skip this section as the information provided below is always up to date. If you already have a build environment setup you will need to update a few packages to the versions provided below. These include atk (1.26.0->1.24.0), glib (2.20.4->2.18.4), gtk+ (2.16.5->2.14.7), and pango (1.24.5->1.22.4).

:If you don't intend to run your builds of Bluefish outside of your MSYS environment this change is not required. However if you do wish to do so and wish to remain with GTK+ 2.16 you can use the [http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/ GTK-Win] installer. This version is not officially supported by the windows development team as of yet because while it's fine for Bluefish it does break some features in Pidgin so keep this in mind if you use both programs.

=== Updating the Build Environment ===

In a second step all necessary software needs to be updated and/or installed. You can download and extract them manually. Extract them to the location, where MSYS has been installed. This place is usually <tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\</tt> (or <tt>C:\MingGW\</tt>). Keep in mind, that this place is equal to the root directory <tt>/</tt> and to <tt>/usr/</tt> (as both are the same) in MSYS. JFTR: Also <tt>/local</tt> and <tt>/usr/local</tt> are equal too.

;''External Packages'' install into MSYS local directory "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> or <tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)
:[http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/46518/svn-win32-1.6.5.zip svn-win32-1.6.5.zip]

=== The Perl Issue ===

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ ActiveState's] for anything that needs a newer version. Install the ActivePerl Perl version. Then edit <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in your MSYS enviroment (usually <tt></tt>) and add the following line:

<pre>c:/programs/perl /opt/perl</pre>

so Perl is mounted to the MSYS environment.

== Configuring your Build Environment ==

You might set a few environment variables as follows.

<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"</pre>

;Alternatively pass [http://bluefish.svn.sf.net/viewvc/bluefish/trunk/bluefish/config.site/config.msys our config.site script] for MSYS to configure to adjust PATH/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS easily.

Further we need to adjust the macro search path for aclocal:

<pre>echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>

Because of a linker bug in the <tt>gconftool-2</tt> binary add this symbolic link:

<pre>ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

== Building External Packages ==

To build bluefish we need some libraries not available from the MinGW/MSYS project.

=== Installing Pre-Compiled Packages ===

Shawn Novak provides pre-compiled tarballs, which you just need to extract to <tt>/local</tt>:

;''Custom Packages'' install into MSYS local directory "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> or <tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)
:[http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2 pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2]
:[http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/aspell-0.60.6-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2 aspell-0.60.6-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2]
:[http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/enchant-1.5.0-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2 enchant-1.5.0-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2]

A full set of dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.6 can be found here: [http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/ http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/]

=== Building and Installing from the Source ===

If you wish to build your own version of these custom packages, these are the configure parameters used for the ones provided.
<ref>Note by Daniel Leidert: I further pass a short <tt>msys.site</tt> script with the following content to <tt>configure</tt>:

<pre>#!/bin/sh
PATH="/opt/perl/bin:$PATH"
prefix=/local
exec_prefix='${prefix}'
enable_shared=yes
enable_static=no
enable_maintainer_mode=yes
LDFLAGS="-L/local/lib -L/lib"
CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include -mwindows"
CPPFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include"</pre>

The configure script is then called as follows together with the switches as shown above:

<pre>./configure CONFIG_SITE=msys.site ...configure options see above...</pre>
</ref>

;[ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.6.tar.gz Aspell 0.60.6]

In the aspell source add

#include "asc_ctype.hpp"

to the includes at '''common/file_util.cpp'''.

./configure --prefix=/local --disable-rpath --enable-win32-relocatable

;[http://www.abisource.com/downloads/enchant/1.5.0/enchant-1.5.0.tar.gz Enchant 1.5.0]

./configure --prefix=/local --enable-aspell --disable-ispell --disable-myspell

;[ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.9.tar.bz2 PCRE 7.9] (UTF-8 support is a '''must''')

./configure --prefix=/local --enable-utf8 --enable-unicode-properties

;[http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gucharmap/2.26/gucharmap-2.26.3.tar.bz2 gucharmap 2.26]

Unfortunately gucharmap does not build out-of-the-box. The following instructions were taken from the [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluefish.devel/2197 mailing list]. First apply the following patch by Daniel Leidert [http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/patches/gucharmap26.diff gucharmap26.diff] and then configure with the following commands.

patch -p0 <gucharmap26.diff
intltoolize -f
libtoolize -f
aclocal -I m4/ --force
autoheader -f
automake -f
autoconf -f
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-schemas-install --disable-scrollkeeper

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest code from trunk:

<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/trunk/bluefish</pre>

Run <tt>autogen.sh</tt> (uses perl 5.6.1). Then run <tt>configure</tt> (make sure, Perl from <tt>/opt/perl/bin</tt> is used; e.g. adjust PATH) and make:

<pre>./autogen.sh
./configure CONFIG_SITE=config.site/config.msys
make
make install</pre>

== Debugging Bluefish ==

For console debugging output, configure bluefish by passing '--enable-debugging-output' to <tt>./configure</tt>. Further CFLAGS should contain '-g' (default, also explicitly set by <tt>config.msys</tt>).

For debugging crashes install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Source-Level%20Debugger/Current%20Release_%20gdb-5.2.1/gdb-5.2.1-1.exe/download GNU Debugger (GDB)].

== Create the Installer ==
To compile the installer you'll need to have [http://www.scratchpaper.com/home Unicode NSIS] with the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UnTGZ_plug-in UnTGZ] plugin installed. You should also have makensis.exe in your path (such as in /opt/nsis).

To build the installer configure and build Bluefish with the following commands.

<pre>
./configure CONFIG_SITE=win32/config.nsis
cd win32
make -f Makefile.mingw installer
</pre>

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-12-11T02:49:29Z

Shawn Novak: Added a few issues and updated NSIS links to Unicode NSIS.

== Windows Build Status ==

Binary and plugins are running and should be fully functional. If you encounter unexpected behaviour or bugs, please report your problem to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bluefish our BTS].

=== Current Known Issues ===

* Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened externally in a currently running copy of bluefish.
* Launching of external programs doesn't work.
* Editing of UTF files with a BOM headers is not currently supported.

== Setting up your Build Environment ==

The first step is of course to install and setup the MingW and MSYS environments. Start with the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.6/MinGW-5.1.6.exe/download automated MinGW installer]. During installation choose the g++ compiler too ('''do not choose MingW make'''). The preferred location is <tt>C:\MinGW</tt>, but it's not necessary to choose this path. In a second step install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download MSYS base system]. It will ask you for the location of the MingW environment. If you e.g. installed it to <tt>P:\Programs\MinGW</tt>, then type

<pre>p:/programs/mingw</pre>

when you are asked for the location (JFTR: this information will be put into <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in the MSYS environment).

If you know what you are doing, you might alternatively download and unpack (unzip/untar/...) the packages manually.

=== Recent Build Environment Changes ===

If you are maintaining a build environment for Bluefish please check this subsection occasionally for important changes!

;2009-12-10
:If you build your own installers we now use a unicode version of NSIS, [http://www.scratchpaper.com/home Unicode NSIS], to support UTF-8 encoded translations.

;2009-09-23:
:The GNOME packages have been updated to reflect those versions which are included with Pidgin's GTK+ installer. This is currently being used as our target runtime environment for the Installer version of Bluefish. If you're first setting up your build environment you can skip this section as the information provided below is always up to date. If you already have a build environment setup you will need to update a few packages to the versions provided below. These include atk (1.26.0->1.24.0), glib (2.20.4->2.18.4), gtk+ (2.16.5->2.14.7), and pango (1.24.5->1.22.4).

:If you don't intend to run your builds of Bluefish outside of your MSYS environment this change is not required. However if you do wish to do so and wish to remain with GTK+ 2.16 you can use the [http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/ GTK-Win] installer. This version is not officially supported by the windows development team as of yet because while it's fine for Bluefish it does break some features in Pidgin so keep this in mind if you use both programs.

=== Updating the Build Environment ===

In a second step all necessary software needs to be updated and/or installed. You can download and extract them manually. Extract them to the location, where MSYS has been installed. This place is usually <tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\</tt> (or <tt>C:\MingGW\</tt>). Keep in mind, that this place is equal to the root directory <tt>/</tt> and to <tt>/usr/</tt> (as both are the same) in MSYS. JFTR: Also <tt>/local</tt> and <tt>/usr/local</tt> are equal too.

;''External Packages'' install into MSYS local directory "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> or <tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)
:[http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/46518/svn-win32-1.6.5.zip svn-win32-1.6.5.zip]

=== The Perl Issue ===

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ ActiveState's] for anything that needs a newer version. Install the ActivePerl Perl version. Then edit <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in your MSYS enviroment (usually <tt></tt>) and add the following line:

<pre>c:/programs/perl /opt/perl</pre>

so Perl is mounted to the MSYS environment.

== Configuring your Build Environment ==

You might set a few environment variables as follows.

<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"</pre>

;Alternatively pass [http://bluefish.svn.sf.net/viewvc/bluefish/trunk/bluefish/config.site/config.msys our config.site script] for MSYS to configure to adjust PATH/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS easily.

Further we need to adjust the macro search path for aclocal:

<pre>echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>

Because of a linker bug in the <tt>gconftool-2</tt> binary add this symbolic link:

<pre>ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

== Building External Packages ==

To build bluefish we need some libraries not available from the MinGW/MSYS project.

=== Installing Pre-Compiled Packages ===

Shawn Novak provides pre-compiled tarballs, which you just need to extract to <tt>/local</tt>:

;''Custom Packages'' install into MSYS local directory "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> or <tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)
:[http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2 pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2]
:[http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/aspell-0.60.6-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2 aspell-0.60.6-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2]
:[http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/enchant-1.5.0-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2 enchant-1.5.0-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2]

A full set of dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.6 can be found here: [http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/ http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/]

=== Building and Installing from the Source ===

If you wish to build your own version of these custom packages, these are the configure parameters used for the ones provided.
<ref>Note by Daniel Leidert: I further pass a short <tt>msys.site</tt> script with the following content to <tt>configure</tt>:

<pre>#!/bin/sh
PATH="/opt/perl/bin:$PATH"
prefix=/local
exec_prefix='${prefix}'
enable_shared=yes
enable_static=no
enable_maintainer_mode=yes
LDFLAGS="-L/local/lib -L/lib"
CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include -mwindows"
CPPFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include"</pre>

The configure script is then called as follows together with the switches as shown above:

<pre>./configure CONFIG_SITE=msys.site ...configure options see above...</pre>
</ref>

;[ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.6.tar.gz Aspell 0.60.6]

In the aspell source add

#include "asc_ctype.hpp"

to the includes at '''common/file_util.cpp'''.

./configure --prefix=/local --disable-rpath --enable-win32-relocatable

;[http://www.abisource.com/downloads/enchant/1.5.0/enchant-1.5.0.tar.gz Enchant 1.5.0]

./configure --prefix=/local --enable-aspell --disable-ispell --disable-myspell

;[ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.9.tar.bz2 PCRE 7.9] (UTF-8 support is a '''must''')

./configure --prefix=/local --enable-utf8 --enable-unicode-properties

;[http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gucharmap/2.26/gucharmap-2.26.3.tar.bz2 gucharmap 2.26]

Unfortunately gucharmap does not build out-of-the-box. The following instructions were taken from the [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluefish.devel/2197 mailing list]. First apply the following patch by Daniel Leidert [http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/patches/gucharmap26.diff gucharmap26.diff] and then configure with the following commands.

patch -p0 <gucharmap26.diff
intltoolize -f
libtoolize -f
aclocal -I m4/ --force
autoheader -f
automake -f
autoconf -f
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-schemas-install --disable-scrollkeeper

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest windows branch:

<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/trunk/bluefish</pre>

Run <tt>autogen.sh</tt> (uses perl 5.6.1). Then run <tt>configure</tt> (make sure, Perl from <tt>/opt/perl/bin</tt> is used; e.g. adjust PATH) and make:

<pre>./autogen.sh
./configure CONFIG_SITE=config.site/config.msys
make
make install</pre>

== Debugging Bluefish ==

For console debugging output, configure bluefish by passing '--enable-debugging-output' to <tt>./configure</tt>. Further CFLAGS should contain '-g' (default, also explicitly set by <tt>config.msys</tt>).

For debugging crashes install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Source-Level%20Debugger/Current%20Release_%20gdb-5.2.1/gdb-5.2.1-1.exe/download GNU Debugger (GDB)].

== Create the Installer ==
To compile the installer you'll need to have [http://www.scratchpaper.com/home Unicode NSIS] with the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UnTGZ_plug-in UnTGZ] plugin installed. You should also have makensis.exe in your path (such as in /opt/nsis).

To build the installer configure and build Bluefish with the following commands.

<pre>
./configure CONFIG_SITE=win32/config.nsis
cd win32
make -f Makefile.mingw installer
</pre>

== Translations ==

Please send a message to the developer's list if you have questions, suggestions or would like to help with translations. By all means, don't wait for someone to give you the OK to start translating. Here are some instructions on [[How To Translate]].

== Current translation teams ==

It is good if there are multiple people for every language, so if anybody is on holidays or something and we want to do a Bluefish release we can have all languages updated, so please work in teams.

Installation d'un environnement de compilation Windows

2009-09-23T18:04:56Z

Shawn Novak: Updated urls for my files to point to my webserver.

== Compilation Windows : Statut ==

Le binaire et les plugins s'exécutent et semblent pleinement fonctionnels. Si vous rencontrez un comportement inattendu ou des bugs, merci de bien vouloir signaler le problème sur notre système de suivi de problèmes : [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bluefish bugzilla].

=== Problèmes connus ===
* Le code connecteur réseau (socket) ne fonctionne pas et donc les fichiers ne peuvent être ouverts de l'extérieur dans une fenêtre fille.

== Installer votre environnement de compilation ==

La première étape est évidemment d'installer et configurer les environnements MinGW et MSYS.
Commencer par l'[https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download installeur automatisé de MinGW]. Au cours de l'installation choisir le compilateur g++ ('''ne pas choisir MingW make'''). L'emplacement recommandé est <tt>C:\MinGW</tt>, mais il n'est pas obligatoire de choisir ce chemin. Il faut ensuite installer [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download le système de base de MSYS]. L'emplacement de l'environnement MingW vous dera demandé. Si par exemple vous l'avez installé dans <tt>P:\Programs\MinGW</tt>, répondez

<pre>p:/programs/mingw</pre>

à cette question (note: cette information sera inscrite dans <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> de l'environnement MSYS).

Si vous savez ce que vous faites, vous pouvez alternativement télécharger et installer (unzip/untar/...) manuellement les paquets .

=== Changements récents de l'environnement de compilation ===
Si vous maintenez un environnement de compilation pour Bluefish merci de bien vouloir lire et appliquer cette sous-section qui contient d'importants changements !

;2009-09-23:
:Les paquets GNOME on étés mis à jour pour correspondre à ceux inclus dans l'installeur GTK+ de Pidgin.
:Il est actuellement utilisé en tant qu'environnement d'exécution cible pour l'installeur de Bluefish. Si vous installez pour la première fois votre environnement vous pouvez négliger cette section car les informations données ci-dessous ne vous concernent pas. Si vous avez déjà construit votre environnement de compilation, vous devez mettre à jour quelques paquets avec les versions proposées ci-dessous. Ceci concerne atk (1.26.0->1.24.0), glib (2.20.4->2.18.4), gtk+ (2.16.5->2.14.7), et pango (1.24.5->1.22.4).

:Si vous n'avez pas l'intention de lancer la compilation de Bluefish hors de votre environnement MSYS ce changement n'est pas obligatoire. Toutefois si vous voulez le faire et désirer conserver GTK+ 2.16 vous pouvez utiliser l'installeur [http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/ GTK-Win]. Cette version n'est pas officiellement supporté par le team de développement car si elle convient à Bluefish, elle n'est pas compatible avec Pidgin, garder ceci en mémoire si vous utilisez les deux programmes.

=== Mettre à jour l'environnement de compilation ===

La seconde étape consiste à mettre à jour et/ou installer tous les logiciels nécessaires. Vous pouvez les télécharger et les extraire manuellement. Vous devez les extraire dans le répertoire où vous avez installé MSYS. Cet emplacement est usuellement <tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\</tt> (ou <tt>C:\MingGW\</tt>). Gardez en mémoire que cet emplacement équivaut au répertoire racine (root directory) <tt>/</tt> et à <tt>/usr/</tt> (qui sont le même emplacement) dans MSYS. Note: de même <tt>/local</tt> and <tt>/usr/local</tt> désignent le même répertoire.

=== La question de Perl ===

Enfin vous avez besoin de Perl. La version Perl dans MSYS est la 5.6.1 qui est trop ancienne pour les scripts de configuration (configure) de nombreux logiciels dont Bluefish. J'utilise la version 5.6.1 de MSYS pour autoconf/automake/autogen.sh et une version externe comme [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ ActiveState's] pour tout ce qui nécessite une version plus récente. Installez la version ActivePerl de Perl. Puis éditez <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> dans l'environnement MSYS (usuellement <tt></tt>) et ajoutez la ligne suivante :

<pre>c:/programs/perl /opt/perl</pre>

ainsi Perl est monté dans l'environnement MSYS.

== Configuration de votre environnement de compilation ==

Vous pouvez définir quelques variables d'environnement comme suit.

<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"</pre>

;ou alternativement utiliser [http://bluefish.svn.sf.net/viewvc/bluefish/trunk/bluefish/config.site/config.msys notre script config.site] pour configurer MSYS et ajuster aisément PATH/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS.

De plus nous avons besoin d'ajuster le chemin de recherche macro pour aclocal :

<pre>echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>

car un bug de l'éditeur de liens de <tt>gconftool-2</tt> ajoute ce lien symbolique :

<pre>ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

== Compiler les paquets externes ==

Pour compiler Bluefish nous avons besoin de certaines bibliothèques qui ne sont pas disponibles dans le projet MinGW/MSYS.

=== Installer les paquets pré-compilés ===

Shawn Novak propose des archives pré-compilées qu'il vous suffit d'extraire dans <tt>/local</tt>:

;''Paquets spécifiques'' installation dans le répertoire local de MSYS "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> ou<tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)

Un ensemble complet de dictionnaires pour Aspell 0.60.6 est disponible ici : [http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/ http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/]

=== Compilation et installation depuis les sources ===

Si vous voulez construire votre propre version personnalisée de ces paquets, voici les paramètres de configuration utilisés.
<ref>Note de Daniel Leidert: Je commence par appliquer le script<tt>msys.site</tt> avec le contenu suivant pour <tt>configure</tt>:

<pre>#!/bin/sh

PATH="/opt/perl/bin:$PATH"
prefix=/local
exec_prefix='${prefix}'
enable_shared=yes
enable_static=no
enable_maintainer_mode=yes
LDFLAGS="-L/local/lib -L/lib"
CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include -mwindows"
CPPFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include"</pre>

Le script de configuration (configure) est alors appelé comme suit en même temps que les commutateurs comme indiqué ci-dessus:

<pre>./configure CONFIG_SITE=msys.site ...''configure options see above''...</pre>
</ref>

;[ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.6.tar.gz Aspell 0.60.6]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --disable-rpath --enable-win32-relocatable</pre>

;[http://www.abisource.com/downloads/enchant/1.5.0/enchant-1.5.0.tar.gz Enchant 1.5.0]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-aspell --disable-ispell --disable-myspell</pre>

;[ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.9.tar.bz2 PCRE 7.9] (UTF-8 support is a '''must''')

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-utf8 --enable-unicode-properties</pre>

;[http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gucharmap/2.26/gucharmap-2.26.3.tar.bz2 gucharmap 2.26]

Malheureusement gucharmap ne compile pas directement. les instructions suivantes proviennent de la [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluefish.devel/2197 liste de diffusion]. Appliquer en premier lieu ce patch de Daniel Leidert [http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/patches/gucharmap26.diff gucharmap26.diff] et configurez ensuite avec les commandes suivantes :

<pre>
patch -p0 <gucharmap26.diff
intltoolize -f
libtoolize -f
aclocal -I m4/ --force
autoheader -f
automake -f
autoconf -f
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-schemas-install --disable-scrollkeeper</pre>

== Compiler Bluefish ==

Récupération de la dernière version :

<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/trunk/bluefish</pre>

Lancer <tt>autogen.sh</tt> (uses perl 5.6.1). Puis lancer <tt>configure</tt> (soyez sûr que Perl de <tt>/opt/perl/bin</tt> est utilisé ; vérifier le PATH) et <tt>make</tt> :

<pre>./autogen.sh
./configure CONFIG_SITE=config.site/config.msys
make
make install</pre>

== Debuguer Bluefish ==

Pour obtenir des informations de déboguage sur la console, configurer bluefish avec l'option '--enable-debugging-output' de <tt>./configure</tt>. De plus les CFLAGS doivent contenir '-g' (par défaut, et également explicitement déclaré par <tt>config.msys</tt>).

Pour débuguer les crashes installer le [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Source-Level%20Debugger/Current%20Release_%20gdb-5.2.1/gdb-5.2.1-1.exe/download Débugueur GNU (GDB)].

== Création de l'installeur ==
Pour compiler l'installeur vous aurez besoin de [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS] avec le [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UnTGZ_plug-in plugin UnTGZ] installé. Vous devez également avoir makensis.exe dans votre path (par exemple dans /opt/nsis).

Pour créer l'installeur, configurer et compiler Bluefish avec les commandes suivantes :

<pre>
./configure CONFIG_SITE=win32/config.nsis
cd win32
make -f Makefile.mingw installer
</pre>

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-09-23T18:01:45Z

Shawn Novak: Updated urls for my files to point to my webserver.

== Windows Build Status ==

Binary and plugins are running and should be fully functional. If you encounter unexpected behaviour or bugs, please report your problem to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bluefish our BTS].

=== Current Known Issues ===

* Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened externally in a currently running copy of bluefish.

== Setting up your Build Environment ==

The first step is of course to install and setup the MingW and MSYS environments. Start with the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download automated MinGW installer]. During installation choose the g++ compiler too ('''do not choose MingW make'''). The preferred location is <tt>C:\MinGW</tt>, but it's not necessary to choose this path. In a second step install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download MSYS base system]. It will ask you for the location of the MingW environment. If you e.g. installed it to <tt>P:\Programs\MinGW</tt>, then type

<pre>p:/programs/mingw</pre>

when you are asked for the location (JFTR: this information will be put into <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in the MSYS environment).

If you know what you are doing, you might alternatively download and unpack (unzip/untar/...) the packages manually.

=== Recent Build Environment Changes ===

If you are maintaining a build environment for Bluefish please check this subsection occasionally for important changes!

;2009-09-23:
:The GNOME packages have been updated to reflect those versions which are included with Pidgin's GTK+ installer. This is currently being used as our target runtime environment for the Installer version of Bluefish. If you're first setting up your build environment you can skip this section as the information provided below is always up to date. If you already have a build environment setup you will need to update a few packages to the versions provided below. These include atk (1.26.0->1.24.0), glib (2.20.4->2.18.4), gtk+ (2.16.5->2.14.7), and pango (1.24.5->1.22.4).

:If you don't intend to run your builds of Bluefish outside of your MSYS environment this change is not required. However if you do wish to do so and wish to remain with GTK+ 2.16 you can use the [http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/ GTK-Win] installer. This version is not officially supported by the windows development team as of yet because while it's fine for Bluefish it does break some features in Pidgin so keep this in mind if you use both programs.

=== Updating the Build Environment ===

In a second step all necessary software needs to be updated and/or installed. You can download and extract them manually. Extract them to the location, where MSYS has been installed. This place is usually <tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\</tt> (or <tt>C:\MingGW\</tt>). Keep in mind, that this place is equal to the root directory <tt>/</tt> and to <tt>/usr/</tt> (as both are the same) in MSYS. JFTR: Also <tt>/local</tt> and <tt>/usr/local</tt> are equal too.

=== The Perl Issue ===

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ ActiveState's] for anything that needs a newer version. Install the ActivePerl Perl version. Then edit <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in your MSYS enviroment (usually <tt></tt>) and add the following line:

<pre>c:/programs/perl /opt/perl</pre>

so Perl is mounted to the MSYS environment.

== Configuring your Build Environment ==

You might set a few environment variables as follows.

<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"</pre>

;Alternatively pass [http://bluefish.svn.sf.net/viewvc/bluefish/trunk/bluefish/config.site/config.msys our config.site script] for MSYS to configure to adjust PATH/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS easily.

Further we need to adjust the macro search path for aclocal:

<pre>echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>

Because of a linker bug in the <tt>gconftool-2</tt> binary add this symbolic link:

<pre>ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

== Building External Packages ==

To build bluefish we need some libraries not available from the MinGW/MSYS project.

=== Installing Pre-Compiled Packages ===

Shawn Novak provides pre-compiled tarballs, which you just need to extract to <tt>/local</tt>:

;''Custom Packages'' install into MSYS local directory "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> or <tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)
:[http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2 pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2]

A full set of dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.6 can be found here: [http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/ http://www.muleslow.net/files/aspell/lang/]

=== Building and Installing from the Source ===

If you wish to build your own version of these custom packages, these are the configure parameters used for the ones provided.
<ref>Note by Daniel Leidert: I further pass a short <tt>msys.site</tt> script with the following content to <tt>configure</tt>:

<pre>#!/bin/sh

PATH="/opt/perl/bin:$PATH"
prefix=/local
exec_prefix='${prefix}'
enable_shared=yes
enable_static=no
enable_maintainer_mode=yes
LDFLAGS="-L/local/lib -L/lib"
CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include -mwindows"
CPPFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include"</pre>

The configure script is then called as follows together with the switches as shown above:

<pre>./configure CONFIG_SITE=msys.site ...''configure options see above''...</pre>
</ref>

Unfortunately gucharmap does not build out-of-the-box. The following instructions were taken from the [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluefish.devel/2197 mailing list]. First apply the following patch by Daniel Leidert [http://www.muleslow.net/files/mingw/patches/gucharmap26.diff gucharmap26.diff] and then configure with the following commands.

<pre>
patch -p0 <gucharmap26.diff
intltoolize -f
libtoolize -f
aclocal -I m4/ --force
autoheader -f
automake -f
autoconf -f
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-schemas-install --disable-scrollkeeper</pre>

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest windows branch:

<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/trunk/bluefish</pre>

Run <tt>autogen.sh</tt> (uses perl 5.6.1). Then run <tt>configure</tt> (make sure, Perl from <tt>/opt/perl/bin</tt> is used; e.g. adjust PATH) and make:

<pre>./autogen.sh
./configure CONFIG_SITE=config.site/config.msys
make
make install</pre>

== Debugging Bluefish ==

For console debugging output, configure bluefish by passing '--enable-debugging-output' to <tt>./configure</tt>. Further CFLAGS should contain '-g' (default, also explicitely set by <tt>config.msys</tt>).

For debugging crashes install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Source-Level%20Debugger/Current%20Release_%20gdb-5.2.1/gdb-5.2.1-1.exe/download GNU Debugger (GDB)].

== Create the Installer ==
To compile the Installer you'll need to have [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS] with the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UnTGZ_plug-in UnTGZ] plugin installed. You should also have makensis.exe in your path (such as in /opt/nsis).

To build the installer configure and build Bluefish with the following commands.

<pre>
./configure CONFIG_SITE=win32/config.nsis
cd win32
make -f Makefile.mingw installer
</pre>

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-09-23T09:54:40Z

Shawn Novak: Updated GNOME package links for atk, glib, gtk+ and pango; aspell dictionary link changed; added Recent Build Enviroment Changes sub section to section 2 for important changes.

== Windows Build Status ==

Binary and plugins are running and should be fully functional. If you encounter unexpected behaviour or bugs, please report your problem to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bluefish our BTS].

=== Current Known Issues ===

* Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened externally in a currently running copy of bluefish.

== Setting up your Build Environment ==

The first step is of course to install and setup the MingW and MSYS environments. Start with the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download automated MinGW installer]. During installation choose the g++ compiler too ('''do not choose MingW make'''). The preferred location is <tt>C:\MinGW</tt>, but it's not necessary to choose this path. In a second step install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download MSYS base system]. It will ask you for the location of the MingW environment. If you e.g. installed it to <tt>P:\Programs\MinGW</tt>, then type

<pre>p:/programs/mingw</pre>

when you are asked for the location (JFTR: this information will be put into <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in the MSYS environment).

If you know what you are doing, you might alternatively download and unpack (unzip/untar/...) the packages manually.

=== Recent Build Environment Changes ===

If you are maintaining a build environment for Bluefish please check this subsection occasionally for important changes!

;2009-09-23:
:The GNOME packages have been updated to reflect those versions which are included with Pidgin's GTK+ installer. This is currently being used as our target runtime environment for the Installer version of Bluefish. If you're first setting up your build environment you can skip this section as the information provided below is always up to date. If you already have a build environment setup you will need to update a few packages to the versions provided below. These include atk (1.26.0->1.24.0), glib (2.20.4->2.18.4), gtk+ (2.16.5->2.14.7), and pango (1.24.5->1.22.4).

:If you don't intend to run your builds of Bluefish outside of your MSYS environment this change is not required. However if you do wish to do so and wish to remain with GTK+ 2.16 you can use the [http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/ GTK-Win] installer. This version is not officially supported by the windows development team as of yet because while it's fine for Bluefish it does break some features in Pidgin so keep this in mind if you use both programs.

=== Updating the Build Environment ===

In a second step all necessary software needs to be updated and/or installed. You can download and extract them manually. Extract them to the location, where MSYS has been installed. This place is usually <tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\</tt> (or <tt>C:\MingGW\</tt>). Keep in mind, that this place is equal to the root directory <tt>/</tt> and to <tt>/usr/</tt> (as both are the same) in MSYS. JFTR: Also <tt>/local</tt> and <tt>/usr/local</tt> are equal too.

=== The Perl Issue ===

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ ActiveState's] for anything that needs a newer version. Install the ActivePerl Perl version. Then edit <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in your MSYS enviroment (usually <tt></tt>) and add the following line:

<pre>c:/programs/perl /opt/perl</pre>

so Perl is mounted to the MSYS environment.

== Configuring your Build Environment ==

You might set a few environment variables as follows.

<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"</pre>

;Alternatively pass [http://bluefish.svn.sf.net/viewvc/bluefish/trunk/bluefish/config.site/config.msys our config.site script] for MSYS to configure to adjust PATH/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS easily.

Further we need to adjust the macro search path for aclocal:

<pre>echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>

Because of a linker bug in the <tt>gconftool-2</tt> binary add this symbolic link:

<pre>ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

== Building External Packages ==

To build bluefish we need some libraries not available from the MinGW/MSYS project.

=== Installing Pre-Compiled Packages ===

=== Building and Installing from the Source ===

If you wish to build your own version of these custom packages, these are the configure parameters used for the ones provided.
<ref>Note by Daniel Leidert: I further pass a short <tt>msys.site</tt> script with the following content to <tt>configure</tt>:

<pre>#!/bin/sh

PATH="/opt/perl/bin:$PATH"
prefix=/local
exec_prefix='${prefix}'
enable_shared=yes
enable_static=no
enable_maintainer_mode=yes
LDFLAGS="-L/local/lib -L/lib"
CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include -mwindows"
CPPFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include"</pre>

The configure script is then called as follows together with the switches as shown above:

<pre>./configure CONFIG_SITE=msys.site ...''configure options see above''...</pre>
</ref>

;[ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.6.tar.gz Aspell 0.60.6]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --disable-rpath --enable-win32-relocatable</pre>

;[http://www.abisource.com/downloads/enchant/1.5.0/enchant-1.5.0.tar.gz Enchant 1.5.0]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-aspell --disable-ispell --disable-myspell</pre>

;[ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.9.tar.bz2 PCRE 7.9] (UTF-8 support is a '''must''')

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-utf8 --enable-unicode-properties</pre>

;[http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gucharmap/2.26/gucharmap-2.26.3.tar.bz2 gucharmap 2.26]

Unfortunately gucharmap does not build out-of-the-box. The following instructions were taken from the [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluefish.devel/2197 mailing list]. First apply the following patch by Daniel Leidert [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/gucharmap26.diff gucharmap26.diff] and then configure with the following commands.

<pre>
patch -p0 <gucharmap26.diff
intltoolize -f
libtoolize -f
aclocal -I m4/ --force
autoheader -f
automake -f
autoconf -f
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-schemas-install --disable-scrollkeeper</pre>

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest windows branch:

<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/trunk/bluefish</pre>

Run <tt>autogen.sh</tt> (uses perl 5.6.1). Then run <tt>configure</tt> (make sure, Perl from <tt>/opt/perl/bin</tt> is used; e.g. adjust PATH) and make:

<pre>./autogen.sh
./configure CONFIG_SITE=config.site/config.msys
make
make install</pre>

== Debugging Bluefish ==

For console debugging output, configure bluefish by passing '--enable-debugging-output' to <tt>./configure</tt>. Further CFLAGS should contain '-g' (default, also explicitely set by <tt>config.msys</tt>).

For debugging crashes install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Source-Level%20Debugger/Current%20Release_%20gdb-5.2.1/gdb-5.2.1-1.exe/download GNU Debugger (GDB)].

== Create the Installer ==
To compile the Installer you'll need to have [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS] with the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UnTGZ_plug-in UnTGZ] plugin installed. You should also have makensis.exe in your path (such as in /opt/nsis).

To build the installer configure and build Bluefish with the following commands.

<pre>
./configure CONFIG_SITE=win32/config.nsis
cd win32
make -f Makefile.mingw installer
</pre>

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-09-22T17:36:12Z

Shawn Novak: Updated instructions to build the Installer.

== Windows Build Status ==

Binary and plugins are running and should be fully functional. If you encounter unexpected behaviour or bugs, please report your problem to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bluefish our BTS].

* Current Known issues:
** Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened in a currently running copy of bluefish.

== Setting up your Build Environment ==

The first step is of course to install and setup the MingW and MSYS environments. Start with the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download automated MinGW installer]. During installation choose the g++ compiler too ('''do not choose MingW make'''). The preferred location is <tt>C:\MinGW</tt>, but it's not necessary to choose this path. In a second step install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download MSYS base system]. It will ask you for the location of the MingW environment. If you e.g. installed it to <tt>P:\Programs\MinGW</tt>, then type

<pre>p:/programs/mingw</pre>

when you are asked for the location (JFTR: this information will be put into <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in the MSYS environment).

If you know what you are doing, you might alternatively download and unpack (unzip/untar/...) the packages manually.

=== Updating the Build Environment ===

In a second step all necessary software needs to be updated and/or installed. You can download and extract them manually. Extract them to the location, where MSYS has been installed. This place is usually <tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\</tt> (or <tt>C:\MingGW\</tt>). Keep in mind, that this place is equal to the root directory <tt>/</tt> and to <tt>/usr/</tt> (as both are the same) in MSYS. JFTR: Also <tt>/local</tt> and <tt>/usr/local</tt> are equal too.

=== The Perl Issue ===

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ ActiveState's] for anything that needs a newer version. Install the ActivePerl Perl version. Then edit <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in your MSYS enviroment (usually <tt></tt>) and add the following line:

<pre>c:/programs/perl /opt/perl</pre>

so Perl is mounted to the MSYS environment.

== Configuring your Build Environment ==

You might set a few environment variables as follows.

<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"</pre>

;Alternatively pass [http://bluefish.svn.sf.net/viewvc/bluefish/trunk/bluefish/config.site/config.msys our config.site script] for MSYS to configure to adjust PATH/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS easily.

Further we need to adjust the macro search path for aclocal:

<pre>echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>

Because of a linker bug in the <tt>gconftool-2</tt> binary add this symbolic link:

<pre>ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

== Building External Packages ==

To build bluefish we need some libraries not available from the MinGW/MSYS project.

=== Installing Pre-Compiled Packages ===

Shawn Novak provides pre-compiled tarballs, which you just need to extract to <tt>/local</tt>:

;''Custom Packages'' install into MSYS local directory "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> or <tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)
:[ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2 pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2]
:[ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell-0.60.6-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2 aspell-0.60.6-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2]
:[ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/enchant-1.5.0-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2 enchant-1.5.0-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2]

A full set of dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.6 can be found here: [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/ ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/]

=== Building and Installing from the Source ===

If you wish to build your own version of these custom packages, these are the configure parameters used for the ones provided.
<ref>Note by Daniel Leidert: I further pass a short <tt>msys.site</tt> script with the following content to <tt>configure</tt>:

<pre>#!/bin/sh

PATH="/opt/perl/bin:$PATH"
prefix=/local
exec_prefix='${prefix}'
enable_shared=yes
enable_static=no
enable_maintainer_mode=yes
LDFLAGS="-L/local/lib -L/lib"
CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include -mwindows"
CPPFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include"</pre>

The configure script is then called as follows together with the switches as shown above:

<pre>./configure CONFIG_SITE=msys.site ...''configure options see above''...</pre>
</ref>

;[ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.6.tar.gz Aspell 0.60.6]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --disable-rpath --enable-win32-relocatable</pre>

;[http://www.abisource.com/downloads/enchant/1.5.0/enchant-1.5.0.tar.gz Enchant 1.5.0]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-aspell --disable-ispell --disable-myspell</pre>

;[ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.9.tar.bz2 PCRE 7.9] (UTF-8 support is a '''must''')

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-utf8 --enable-unicode-properties</pre>

;[http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gucharmap/2.26/gucharmap-2.26.3.tar.bz2 gucharmap 2.26]

Unfortunately gucharmap does not build out-of-the-box. The following instructions were taken from the [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluefish.devel/2197 mailing list]. First apply the following patch by Daniel Leidert [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/gucharmap26.diff gucharmap26.diff] and then configure with the following commands.

<pre>
patch -p0 <gucharmap26.diff
intltoolize -f
libtoolize -f
aclocal -I m4/ --force
autoheader -f
automake -f
autoconf -f
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-schemas-install --disable-scrollkeeper</pre>

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest windows branch:

<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/trunk/bluefish</pre>

Run <tt>autogen.sh</tt> (uses perl 5.6.1). Then run <tt>configure</tt> (make sure, Perl from <tt>/opt/perl/bin</tt> is used; e.g. adjust PATH) and make:

<pre>./autogen.sh
./configure CONFIG_SITE=config.site/config.msys
make
make install</pre>

== Debugging Bluefish ==

For console debugging output, configure bluefish by passing '--enable-debugging-output' to <tt>./configure</tt>. Further CFLAGS should contain '-g' (default, also explicitely set by <tt>config.msys</tt>).

For debugging crashes install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Source-Level%20Debugger/Current%20Release_%20gdb-5.2.1/gdb-5.2.1-1.exe/download GNU Debugger (GDB)].

== Create the Installer ==
To compile the Installer you'll need to have [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS] with the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UnTGZ_plug-in UnTGZ] plugin installed. You should also have makensis.exe in your path (such as in /opt/nsis).

To build the installer configure and build Bluefish with the following commands.

<pre>
./configure CONFIG_SITE=win32/config.nsis
cd win32
make -f Makefile.mingw installer
</pre>

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-09-19T09:07:42Z

Shawn Novak: Added instructions to build the installer.

== Windows Build Status ==

Binary and plugins are running and should be fully functional. If you encounter unexpected behaviour or bugs, please report your problem to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bluefish our BTS].

* Current Known issues:
** Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened in a currently running copy of bluefish.

== Setting up your Build Environment ==

The first step is of course to install and setup the MingW and MSYS environments. Start with the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download automated MinGW installer]. During installation choose the g++ compiler too ('''do not choose MingW make'''). The preferred location is <tt>C:\MinGW</tt>, but it's not necessary to choose this path. In a second step install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download MSYS base system]. It will ask you for the location of the MingW environment. If you e.g. installed it to <tt>P:\Programs\MinGW</tt>, then type

<pre>p:/programs/mingw</pre>

when you are asked for the location (JFTR: this information will be put into <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in the MSYS environment).

If you know what you are doing, you might alternatively download and unpack (unzip/untar/...) the packages manually.

=== Updating the Build Environment ===

In a second step all necessary software needs to be updated and/or installed. You can download and extract them manually. Extract them to the location, where MSYS has been installed. This place is usually <tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\</tt> (or <tt>C:\MingGW\</tt>). Keep in mind, that this place is equal to the root directory <tt>/</tt> and to <tt>/usr/</tt> (as both are the same) in MSYS. JFTR: Also <tt>/local</tt> and <tt>/usr/local</tt> are equal too.

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ ActiveState's] for anything that needs a newer version. Install the ActivePerl Perl version. Then edit <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in your MSYS enviroment (usually <tt></tt>) and add the following line:

<pre>c:/programs/perl /opt/perl</pre>

so Perl is mounted to the MSYS environment.

== Configuring your Build Environment ==

You might set a few environment variables as follows.

<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"</pre>

;Alternatively pass [http://bluefish.svn.sf.net/viewvc/bluefish/trunk/bluefish/config.site/config.msys our config.site script] for MSYS to configure to adjust PATH/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS easily.

Further we need to adjust the macro search path for aclocal:

<pre>echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>

Because of a linker bug in the <tt>gconftool-2</tt> binary add this symbolic link:

<pre>ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

== Building External Packages ==

To build bluefish we need some libraries not available from the MinGW/MSYS project.

=== Installing Pre-Compiled Packages ===

Shawn Novak provides pre-compiled tarballs, which you just need to extract to <tt>/local</tt>:

;''Custom Packages'' install into MSYS local directory "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> or <tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)
:[ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2 pcre-7.9-bin-MinGW-20090902.tbz2]

:[ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/enchant-1.5.0-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2 enchant-1.5.0-bin-MinGW-20090901.tbz2]

A full set of dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.6 can be found here: [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/ ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/]

=== Building and Installing from the Source ===

If you wish to build your own version of these custom packages, these are the configure parameters used for the ones provided.
<ref>Note by Daniel Leidert: I further pass a short <tt>msys.site</tt> script with the following content to <tt>configure</tt>:

<pre>#!/bin/sh

PATH="/opt/perl/bin:$PATH"
prefix=/local
exec_prefix='${prefix}'
enable_shared=yes
enable_static=no
enable_maintainer_mode=yes
LDFLAGS="-L/local/lib -L/lib"
CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include -mwindows"
CPPFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include"</pre>

The configure script is then called as follows together with the switches as shown above:

<pre>./configure CONFIG_SITE=msys.site ...''configure options see above''...</pre>
</ref>

;[ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.6.tar.gz Aspell 0.60.6]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --disable-rpath --enable-win32-relocatable</pre>

;[http://www.abisource.com/downloads/enchant/1.5.0/enchant-1.5.0.tar.gz Enchant 1.5.0]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-aspell --disable-ispell --disable-myspell</pre>

;[ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.9.tar.bz2 PCRE 7.9] (UTF-8 support is a '''must''')

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-utf8 --enable-unicode-properties</pre>

;[http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gucharmap/2.26/gucharmap-2.26.3.tar.bz2 gucharmap 2.26]

Unfortunately gucharmap does not build out-of-the-box. The following instructions were taken from the [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluefish.devel/2197 mailing list]. First apply the following patch by Daniel Leidert [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/gucharmap26.diff gucharmap26.diff] and then configure with the following commands.

<pre>
patch -p0 <gucharmap26.diff
intltoolize -f
libtoolize -f
aclocal -I m4/ --force
autoheader -f
automake -f
autoconf -f
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-schemas-install --disable-scrollkeeper</pre>

References: <references/>

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest windows branch:

<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/trunk/bluefish</pre>

Run <tt>autogen.sh</tt> (uses perl 5.6.1). Then run <tt>configure</tt> (make sure, Perl from <tt>/opt/perl/bin</tt> is used; e.g. adjust PATH) and make:

<pre>./autogen.sh
./configure CONFIG_SITE=config.site/config.msys
./strip_prefix.sh
make</pre>

== Debugging Bluefish ==

For console debugging output, configure bluefish by passing '--enable-debugging-output' to <tt>./configure</tt>. Further CFLAGS should contain '-g' (default, also explicitely set by <tt>config.msys</tt>).

For debugging crashes install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Source-Level%20Debugger/Current%20Release_%20gdb-5.2.1/gdb-5.2.1-1.exe/download GNU Debugger (GDB)].

== Create the Installer ==

To build the installer configure and build Bluefish with the following commands.
<pre>
./configure --prefix=/ CFLAGS="-mwindows -DNSIS"
make pkgdatadir="./share/bluefish-unstable" localedir="./share/locale"
make install DESTDIR=/path/to/working/bluefish/win32/build
</pre>

Once built you'll need to have [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS] with the [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/UnTGZ_plug-in UnTGZ plugin] installed to compile the installer. If you have makensis.exe in your path (such as in /opt/nsis) you can pass bluefish.nsi to it directly or you can run the GUI version MakeNSISW after running the installer_dep.sh script. Eventually the following steps will be combined to a single script.

<pre>
cd win32
./installer_dep.sh
makensis bluefish.nsi
</pre>

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-09-17T04:06:00Z

Shawn Novak: Removed strip_prefix.sh script which is no longer needed as of r5185.

== Windows Build Status ==

Binary and plugins are running and should be fully functional. If you encounter unexpected behaviour or bugs, please report your problem to [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bluefish our BTS].

* Current Known issues:
** Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened in a currently running copy of bluefish.

== Setting up your Build Environment ==

The first step is of course to install and setup the MingW and MSYS environments. Start with the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/MinGW%205.1.4/MinGW-5.1.4.exe/download automated MinGW installer]. During installation choose the g++ compiler too ('''do not choose MingW make'''). The preferred location is <tt>C:\MinGW</tt>, but it's not necessary to choose this path. In a second step install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MSYS%20Base%20System/Current%20Release_%20MSYS-1.0.11/MSYS-1.0.11.exe/download MSYS base system]. It will ask you for the location of the MingW environment. If you e.g. installed it to <tt>P:\Programs\MinGW</tt>, then type

<pre>p:/programs/mingw</pre>

when you are asked for the location (JFTR: this information will be put into <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in the MSYS environment).

If you know what you are doing, you might alternatively download and unpack (unzip/untar/...) the packages manually.

=== Updating the Build Environment ===

In a second step all necessary software needs to be updated and/or installed. You can download and extract them manually. Extract them to the location, where MSYS has been installed. This place is usually <tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\</tt> (or <tt>C:\MingGW\</tt>). Keep in mind, that this place is equal to the root directory <tt>/</tt> and to <tt>/usr/</tt> (as both are the same) in MSYS. JFTR: Also <tt>/local</tt> and <tt>/usr/local</tt> are equal too.

;''External Packages'' install into MSYS local directory "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> or <tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)

=== The Perl Issue ===

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as [http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/ ActiveState's] for anything that needs a newer version. Install the ActivePerl Perl version. Then edit <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> in your MSYS enviroment (usually <tt></tt>) and add the following line:

<pre>c:/programs/perl /opt/perl</pre>

so Perl is mounted to the MSYS environment.

== Configuring your Build Environment ==

You might set a few environment variables as follows.

<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"</pre>

;Alternatively pass [http://bluefish.svn.sf.net/viewvc/bluefish/trunk/bluefish/config.site/config.msys our config.site script] for MSYS to configure to adjust PATH/CFLAGS/LDFLAGS easily.

Further we need to adjust the macro search path for aclocal:

<pre>echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>

Because of a linker bug in the <tt>gconftool-2</tt> binary add this symbolic link:

<pre>ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

== Building External Packages ==

To build bluefish we need some libraries not available from the MinGW/MSYS project.

=== Installing Pre-Compiled Packages ===

Shawn Novak provides pre-compiled tarballs, which you just need to extract to <tt>/local</tt>:

;''Custom Packages'' install into MSYS local directory "<tt>/local</tt>" (<tt>C:\Programs\msys\1.0\local\</tt> or <tt>C:\MinGW\local\</tt>)

A full set of dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.6 can be found here: [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/ ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/]

=== Building and Installing from the Source ===

If you wish to build your own version of these custom packages, these are the configure parameters used for the ones provided.
<ref>Note by Daniel Leidert: I further pass a short <tt>msys.site</tt> script with the following content to <tt>configure</tt>:

<pre>#!/bin/sh

PATH="/opt/perl/bin:$PATH"
prefix=/local
exec_prefix='${prefix}'
enable_shared=yes
enable_static=no
enable_maintainer_mode=yes
LDFLAGS="-L/local/lib -L/lib"
CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include -mwindows"
CPPFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -I/local/include -I/include"</pre>

The configure script is then called as follows together with the switches as shown above:

<pre>./configure CONFIG_SITE=msys.site ...''configure options see above''...</pre>
</ref>

;[ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/aspell-0.60.6.tar.gz Aspell 0.60.6]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --disable-rpath --enable-win32-relocatable</pre>

;[http://www.abisource.com/downloads/enchant/1.5.0/enchant-1.5.0.tar.gz Enchant 1.5.0]

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-aspell --disable-ispell --disable-myspell</pre>

;[ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-7.9.tar.bz2 PCRE 7.9] (UTF-8 support is a '''must''')

<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-utf8 --enable-unicode-properties</pre>

;[http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gucharmap/2.26/gucharmap-2.26.3.tar.bz2 gucharmap 2.26]

Unfortunately gucharmap does not build out-of-the-box. The following instructions were taken from the [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.bluefish.devel/2197 mailing list]. First apply the following patch by Daniel Leidert [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/gucharmap26.diff gucharmap26.diff] and then configure with the following commands.

<pre>
patch -p0 <gucharmap26.diff
intltoolize -f
libtoolize -f
aclocal -I m4/ --force
autoheader -f
automake -f
autoconf -f
./configure --disable-gconf --disable-schemas-install --disable-scrollkeeper</pre>

References: <references/>

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest windows branch:

<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/trunk/bluefish</pre>

Run <tt>autogen.sh</tt> (uses perl 5.6.1). Then run <tt>configure</tt> (make sure, Perl from <tt>/opt/perl/bin</tt> is used; e.g. adjust PATH) and make:

<pre>./autogen.sh
./configure CONFIG_SITE=config.site/config.msys
./strip_prefix.sh
make</pre>

== Debugging Bluefish ==

For console debugging output, configure bluefish by passing '--enable-debugging-output' to <tt>./configure</tt>. Further CFLAGS should contain '-g' (default, also explicitely set by <tt>config.msys</tt>).

For debugging crashes install the [https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/GNU%20Source-Level%20Debugger/Current%20Release_%20gdb-5.2.1/gdb-5.2.1-1.exe/download GNU Debugger (GDB)].

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-09-03T01:26:06Z

Shawn Novak: Updaed PCRE package and config info

[[File:Win32r5079.png|320px|thumb|right]]

== Windows Build Status ==

* Current Known issues:
** Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened in a currently running copy of bluefish.

==Setting up your Build Environment==

The first step is of course to download all the packages required. You can extract them pretty much anywhere but for the purposes of this guide I used C:\MinGW. Keep in mind that C:\MingGW will be the root directory (/) and that in MSYS /usr is the same as /, therefore /usr/local when viewed from the windows side will be C:\MinGW\local.

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as ActiveState's in /opt/perl for anything that needs a newer version.

== Configuring your Build Environment ==

You only need to set a few environment variables and settings as follows:
<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"
echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist
ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

To strip the prefixes from the Makefiles before you build Bluefish you can download or create this simple script I made, [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/strip_prefix.sh strip_prefix.sh]. Place it in /usr/local/bin or somewhere in the path.

strip_prefix.sh:
<pre>#!/bin/sh

for i in $(find ./ -name Makefile | grep -v plugin); do
echo Checking: $i
cat $i | sed s/'${prefix}\/'// | sed s/'${exec_prefix}\/'// > ${i}.tst
rm $i
mv ${i}.tst $i
done</pre>

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest windows branch:
<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/branches/bluefish_windows</pre>

Run autogen.sh with perl 5.6.1 and then switch /bin/perl to your 5.8.1 or newer version or perl and run configure:
<pre>./configure LDFLAGS=-lgnurx CFLAGS=-mwindows
./strip_prefix.sh
make</pre>

Drop the CFLAGS option to configure for a console window for debug output and of course run configure with '--enable-debugging-output' for a full debug build.

== Building External Packages ==

If you wish to build your own versions of the custom packages these are the configure parameters used for the ones provided.

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

Shawn Novak: Added gucharmap build instrucitons

[[File:Win32r5079.png|320px|thumb|right]]

== Windows Build Status ==

* Current Known issues:
** Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened in a currently running copy of bluefish.

==Setting up your Build Environment==

The first step is of course to download all the packages required. You can extract them pretty much anywhere but for the purposes of this guide I used C:\MinGW. Keep in mind that C:\MingGW will be the root directory (/) and that in MSYS /usr is the same as /, therefore /usr/local when viewed from the windows side will be C:\MinGW\local.

A full set of dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.6 can be found here: [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/ ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/]

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as ActiveState's in /opt/perl for anything that needs a newer version.

== Configuring your Build Environment ==

You only need to set a few environment variables and settings as follows:
<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"
echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist
ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

To strip the prefixes from the Makefiles before you build Bluefish you can download or create this simple script I made, [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/strip_prefix.sh strip_prefix.sh]. Place it in /usr/local/bin or somewhere in the path.

strip_prefix.sh:
<pre>#!/bin/sh

for i in $(find ./ -name Makefile | grep -v plugin); do
echo Checking: $i
cat $i | sed s/'${prefix}\/'// | sed s/'${exec_prefix}\/'// > ${i}.tst
rm $i
mv ${i}.tst $i
done</pre>

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest windows branch:
<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/branches/bluefish_windows</pre>

Run autogen.sh with perl 5.6.1 and then switch /bin/perl to your 5.8.1 or newer version or perl and run configure:
<pre>./configure LDFLAGS=-lgnurx CFLAGS=-mwindows
./strip_prefix.sh
make</pre>

Drop the CFLAGS option to configure for a console window for debug output and of course run configure with '--enable-debugging-output' for a full debug build.

== Building External Packages ==

If you wish to build your own versions of the custom packages these are the configure parameters used for the ones provided.

A full set of dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.6 can be found here: [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/ ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/]

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as ActiveState's in /opt/perl for anything that needs a newer version.

You only need to set a few environment variables and settings as follows:
<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"
echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist
ln -s /local/bin/libxml2-2.dll /local/bin/libxml2.dll</pre>

To strip the prefixes from the Makefiles before you build Bluefish you can download or create this simple script I made, [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/strip_prefix.sh strip_prefix.sh]. Place it in /usr/local/bin or somewhere in the path.

strip_prefix.sh:
<pre>#!/bin/sh

for i in $(find ./ -name Makefile | grep -v plugin); do
echo Checking: $i
cat $i | sed s/'${prefix}\/'// | sed s/'${exec_prefix}\/'// > ${i}.tst
rm $i
mv ${i}.tst $i
done</pre>

== Building Bluefish ==

Check out the latest windows branch:
<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/branches/bluefish_windows</pre>

Run autogen.sh with perl 5.6.1 and then switch /bin/perl to your 5.8.1 or newer version or perl and run configure:
<pre>./configure LDFLAGS=-lgnurx CFLAGS=-mwindows
./strip_prefix.sh
make</pre>

Drop the CFLAGS option to configure for a console window for debug output and of course run configure with '--enable-debugging-output' for a full debug build.

== Building External Packages ==

If you wish to build your own versions of the custom packages these are the configure parameters used for the onws provided.

Aspell 0.60.0
<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --disable-rpath --enable-win32-relocatable</pre>

Enchant 1.5.0
<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-aspell --disable-ispell --disable-myspell</pre>

PCRE 7.9
<pre>./configure --prefix=/local</pre>

gucharmap 2.26
<pre> ...pending... </pre>

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

Shawn Novak: Updated package list

[[File:Win32r5079.png|320px|thumb|right]]

* Current Known issues:
** Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened in a currently running copy of bluefish.

===Setting up your Build Environment===

The first step is of course to download all the packages required. You can extract them pretty much anywhere but for the purposes of this guide I used C:\MinGW. Keep in mind that C:\MingGW will be the root directory (/) and that in MSYS /usr is the same as /, therefore /usr/local when viewed from the windows side will be C:\MinGW\local.

A full set of dictionaries for Aspell 0.60.6 can be found here: [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/ ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/aspell/lang/]

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as ActiveState's in /opt/perl for anything that needs a newer version.

You only need to set a few environment variables as follows:
<pre>PATH="/bin:/local/bin:/opt/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/local/lib"
echo /local/share/aclocal > /share/aclocal/dirlist</pre>

To strip the prefixes from the Makefiles before you build Bluefish you can download or create this simple script I made, [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/strip_prefix.sh strip_prefix.sh]. Place it in /usr/local/bin or somewhere in the path.

strip_prefix.sh:
<pre>#!/bin/sh

for i in $(find ./ -name Makefile); do
echo Checking: $i
cat $i | sed s/'${prefix}\/'// | sed s/'${exec_prefix}\/'// > ${i}.tst
rm $i
mv ${i}.tst $i
done</pre>

=== Building Bluefish ===

Check out the latest windows branch:
<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/branches/bluefish_windows</pre>

Run autogen.sh with perl 5.6.1 and then switch /bin/perl to your 5.8.1 or newer version or perl and run configure:
<pre>./configure LDFLAGS=-lgnurx CFLAGS=-mwindows
./strip_prefix.sh
make</pre>

Drop the CFLAGS option to configure for a console window for debug output and of course run configure with '--enable-debugging-output' for a full debug build.

== Building External Packages ==

If you wish to build your own versions of the custom packages these are the configure parameters used for the onws provided.

Aspell 0.60.0
<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --disable-rpath --enable-win32-relocatable</pre>

Enchant 1.5.0
<pre>./configure --prefix=/local --enable-aspell --disable-ispell --disable-myspell</pre>

PCRE 7.9
<pre>./configure --prefix=/local</pre>

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

Shawn Novak: Typo and Aspell 0.60.6 dictionaries.

[[File:Win32r5079.png|320px|thumb|right]]

* Current Known issues:
** Not all features of the htmlbar and infbrowser plugins currently work.
** Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened in a currently running copy of bluefish.

===Setting up your Build Environment===

The first step is of course to download all the packages required. You can extract them pretty much anywhere but for the purposes of this guide I used C:\MinGW. Keep in mind that C:\MingGW will be the root directory (/) and that in MSYS /usr is the same as /, therefore /usr/local when viewed from the windows side will be C:\MinGW\local.

''Note: This last set of binaries were built by me and include the full path. If you extract them from windows 
make sure to move the contents to the proper locations. If you extract them under msys give tar '-C /'.''

You will also need to replace /bin/gzip.exe with this copy [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/MinGW_setup/misc/gzip.exe gzip.exe] as there is something wrong with the included version and place [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/MinGW_setup/misc/gio-unix-2.0.pc gio-unix-2.0.pc] in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as ActiveState's in /perl for anything that needs a newer version.

You only need to set a few environment variables as follows:
<pre>PATH="/bin:/usr/local/bin:/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/usr/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/local/lib"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"</pre>

To strip the prefixes from the Makefiles before you build Bluefish you can download or create this simple script I made, [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/strip_prefix.sh strip_prefix.sh]. Place it in /usr/local/bin or somewhere in the path.

strip_prefix.sh:
<pre>#!/bin/sh

for i in $(find ./ -name Makefile); do
echo Checking: $i
cat $i | sed s/'${prefix}\/'// | sed s/'${exec_prefix}\/'// > ${i}.tst
rm $i
mv ${i}.tst $i
done</pre>

=== Building Bluefish ===

Check out the latest windows branch:
<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/branches/bluefish_windows</pre>

Run autogen.sh with perl 5.6.1 and finally switch /bin/perl to your 5.8.1 or newer version or perl and run configure:
<pre>./configure LDFLAGS=-lgnurx CFLAGS=-mwindows
./strip_prefix.sh
make</pre>

Drop the CFLAGS option to configure for a console window for debug output and of course run configure with '--enable-debugging-output' for a full debug build.

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-08-28T23:18:08Z

Shawn Novak: Added Aspell-0.60.6 and Enchant-1.5.0 download links and updated the list of Known Issues.

[[File:Win32r5079.png|320px|thumb|right]]

* Current Known issues:
** Plugins don't work.
** Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened in a currently running copy of bluefish.

===Setting up your Build Environment===

The first step is of course to download all the packages required. You can extract them pretty much anywhere but for the purposes of this guide I used C:\MinGW. Keep in mind that C:\MingGW will be the root directory (/) and that in MSYS /usr is the same as /, therefore /usr/local when viewed from the windows side will be C:\MinGW\local.

''Note: This last set of binaries were built by me include the full path so if you extract them from windows make sure to move the contents to the proper locations. If you extract them under msys give tar '-C /'.''

You also need to replace /bin/gzip.exe with this copy [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/MinGW_setup/misc/gzip.exe gzip.exe] as there is something wrong with the included version. And finally place [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/MinGW_setup/misc/gio-unix-2.0.pc gio-unix-2.0.pc] in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.

The last thing you need is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as ActiveState's in /perl for anything that needs a newer version.

I only set a few environment variables as follows:
<pre>PATH="/bin:/usr/local/bin:/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/usr/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/local/lib"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"</pre>

To strip the prefixes from the Makefiles before you build Bluefish you can download or create this simple script I made, [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/strip_prefix.sh strip_prefix.sh]. Place it in /usr/local/bin or somewhere in the path.

strip_prefix.sh:
<pre>#!/bin/sh

for i in $(find ./ -name Makefile); do
echo Checking: $i
cat $i | sed s/'${prefix}\/'// | sed s/'${exec_prefix}\/'// > ${i}.tst
rm $i
mv ${i}.tst $i
done</pre>

=== Building Bluefish ===

Check out the latest windows branch:
<pre>svn checkout https://bluefish.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bluefish/branches/bluefish_windows</pre>

Run autogen.sh with perl 5.6.1 and finally switch /bin/perl to your 5.8.1 or newer version or perl and run configure:
<pre>./configure LDFLAGS=-lgnurx CFLAGS=-mwindows
./strip_prefix.sh
...edit src/Makefile and set 'SUBDIRS = pixmaps'...
make</pre>

Plugins currently aren't built which is why you need to open 'src/Makefile' and set 'SUBDIRS = pixmaps'. When plugins build this will no longer be necessary. Drop the CFLAGS option to configure for a console window for debug output and of course run configure with '--enable-debugging-output' for a full debug build.

Setting up a Windows Build Environment

2009-08-27T21:08:29Z

Shawn Novak: Windows build instructions

[[File:Win32r5079.png|320px|thumb|right]]

The first step is of course to download all the packages required. You can extract them pretty much anywhere but for the purposes of this guide I used C:\MinGW. Keep in mind that C:\MingGW will be the root directory (/) and that in MSYS /usr is the same as /, therefore /usr/local when viewed from the windows side will be C:\MinGW\local.

''Note: This last set of binaries were built by me include the full path so if you extract them from windows make sure to move the contents to the proper locations. If you extract them under msys give tar '-C /'.''

You also need to replace /bin/gzip.exe with this copy [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/MinGW_setup/misc/gzip.exe gzip.exe] as there is something wrong with the included version. And finally place [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/MinGW_setup/misc/gio-unix-2.0.pc gio-unix-2.0.pc] in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.

The last thing is Perl. The MSYS version is 5.6.1 which is not new enough to pass the configure script for a lot of programs including Bluefish. I use the MSYS 5.6.1 version for autoconf/automake/autogen.sh and an external version such as ActiveState's in /perl for anything that needs a newer version.

I only set a few environment variables as follows:
<pre>PATH="/bin:/usr/local/bin:/perl/bin"
C_INCLUDE_PATH="/include:/usr/local/include"
LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/local/lib"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"</pre>

To strip the prefixes from the Makefiles before you build Bluefish you can download or create this simple script I made, [ftp://kernel86.muleslow.net/mingw/strip_prefix.sh strip_prefix.sh]. Place it in /usr/local or somewhere in the path.

strip_prefix.sh:
<pre>#!/bin/sh

for i in $(find ./ -name Makefile); do
echo Checking: $i
cat $i | sed s/'${prefix}\/'// | sed s/'${exec_prefix}\/'// > ${i}.tst
rm $i
mv ${i}.tst $i
done</pre>

You should now be able to checkout the latest windows-branch, run autogen.sh (with Perl 5.6.1) and build Bluefish with the following options:
<pre>./configure LDFLAGS=-lgnurx CFLAGS=-mwindows
./strip_prefix.sh
..open src/Makefile and set 'SUBDIRS = pixmaps'..
make</pre>

Drop the CFLAGS option to configure for a console window for debug output. Plugins currently aren't built which is why you need to open 'src/Makefile' and set 'SUBDIRS = pixmaps'. When plugins build this will no longer be necessary.

* Current Known issues:
** 1. Plugins don't link.
** 2. Highlighting works but is not applied automagically.
** 3. Socket code doesn't work so files can't be opened in a currently running copy of bluefish.
** 4. Spellchecking can be built but does not currently work.
