Building Mumble on Windows
Mumble has quite a few dependencies for building on Windows, and as the feature set grows, so does the list of dependencies. This page will try to detail the steps required to set up a Win32 build environment.
The paths used here equal the defaults assumed in the Mumble build files. You are free to change them, but you'll then need to change the mumble.pro file as well. If you find any problems or incorrect steps in this article please either correct them or contact us and we will try our best to resolve the issue.
Also note, that if you are submitting a bug report for a self-built executable, we expect you to either
- Follow these instructions to the letter
or
- Report any deviations from these instructions
Deviations means anything, from "I installed to the D: drive" to "I changed the gcc build options for Qt" or "I used another version of Speex".
Preparations
Git
Download the most recent Git from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list and install it. Make sure you select "Run Git from the Windows Command Prompt".
Visual Studio
You'll need Visual Studio 2008 (or Visual C++ Express Edition) with SP1.
Visual Studio 2008 Professional 90 day trial: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vs2008/products/cc268305.aspx
Visual C++ Express Edition: http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/#webInstall (Look at the bottom right corner for "Visual C++ 2008".)
Create the bat file
Create C:\dev, and inside that directory create a file prep.bat containing:
@echo off SET QTDIR=C:\dev\Qt4.5.0 SET DBUSDIR=C:\dev\dbus SET LIB= SET MYSQL=c:\dev\mysql SET ICE=c:\dev\Ice IF DEFINED "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%" ( CALL "%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86 ) ELSE ( CALL "%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86 ) SET INCLUDE=C:\dev\WinSDK\include;%INCLUDE% SET PATH=%QTDIR%\bin;%DBUSDIR%\bin;c:\dev\OpenSSL\bin;c:\dev\cmake\bin;%MYSQL%\lib\opt;%ICE%\bin;%PATH%
Start a new command shell (run cmd.exe) (Make sure you have Microsoft Visual C++ and Git installed before you run prep!)
cd \dev prep
After you run prep make sure a message similar to "Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 x86 tools" appears.
Whenever something appears
like this
you're supposed to enter it in that command shell (or copy it from this webpage and right click in the command window and select Paste). When you later want to compile things, remember to call prep.bat first to set paths correctly.
Note to those following this guide: When you extract compressed files, sometimes they will have container folders and sometimes they will not. Please ensure (for example) that when you extract a compressed file like QT4.5.0, that you see "bin" "include" and such folders as that directly inside of the folder named "Qt4.5.0". If you just see one folder and no other files, you have done it wrong.
TortoiseSVN
Download the most recent version of TortoiseSVN at http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads and install it. The defaults are fine.
Intel C++ Compiler
Download and install this: http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/368972.htm
You only need the file libmmd.dll but currently this seems to be the only official place to get it. If the installer fails it should still install the library you need for Mumble. The name of the library is "libmmd.dll".
G15SDK
Download the G15 software from here: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/434/180&cl=us,en?WT.ac=sc%7Cdownloads%7C%7Cdd and install it.
Now go to C:\Program Files\Logitech\GamePanel Software\LCD Manager\SDK and extract "LCDSDK_3.01.180.zip". Take the folder that has been extracted and rename it to G15SDK. Put this folder into c:\dev.
Boost
Download http://prdownloads.sf.net/boost/boost_1_38_0.7z?download and http://prdownloads.sf.net/boost/boost-jam-3.1.17-1-ntx86.zip?download and unzip both to c:\dev
cd \dev prep cd boost_1_38_0 copy ..\boost-jam-3.1.17-1-ntx86\bjam.exe bjam --toolset=msvc --prefix=C:\dev\Boost install
This might take a while, but when done you'll have Boost installed. Note that none of the other build dependencies do themselves depend on boost, so if you want you can just continue in a new command shell (but remember to call prep.bat). Once all is done, you can safely delete the boost_1_38_0 and boost-jam directories. If you get the warning, that some targets were skipped or failed, it can be ignored for our purposes.
Microsoft Windows SDK
Go here to download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E6E1C3DF-A74F-4207-8586-711EBE331CDC&displaylang=en . At the time of this writing, the latest version is the "Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5". Install it to C:\dev\WinSDK
As you are going through the installer you will come to a window where you will see two main categories and then subcategories below them. Uncheck the green check boxes next to “Documentation” and “Samples”. Continue with the installation. These take a long time to download and are not really needed for Mumble.
Microsoft DirectX SDK
Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/ and download the latest SDK. Install it to c:\dev\DXSDK
WinDBUS
From http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/repository/win32libs/ download the following archives:
- zlib*lib.zip
- zlib*bin.zip
- iconv*lib.zip
- iconv*bin.zip
- libxml2*bin.tar.bz2
- libxml2*lib.tar.bz2
Whereas * represents the newest version on the server. Unpack all of them to 'c:\Program Files\win32libs'. If you have extracted them all correctly you should see inside of 'c:\Program Files\win32libs' "include, bin, lib, and manifest" folders. Note that you may also download the dbus library from there, but if you do it will not automatically spawn dbus-daemon as that needs patching.
Download http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.2-win32-x86.zip and unpack it to c:\dev. Rename the top directory to just 'cmake'.
Checkout the SVN of WinDBus from https://windbus.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/windbus/trunk to c:\dev\windbus
cd \dev prep mkdir windbus-build cd windbus-build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DDBUS_INSTALL_SYSTEM_LIBS=ON -G "NMake Makefiles" c:\dev\windbus\cmake nmake nmake install
Regardless of what you say, Windbus is installed to c:\<Program Files>\dbus. Move that entire directory into c:\dev (so it ends up as c:\dev\dbus)
Copy all .dll files from c:\Program Files\win32libs\bin to c:\dev\dbus\bin
You can remove the c:\dev\windbus and c:\dev\windbus-build directories at this point.
OpenSSL
Download the OpenSSL source named "openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz" from here http://www.openssl.org/source/. Unpack it to c:\dev (it will create a directory called openssl-x.y.z)
Download and install ActivePerl from here: http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/
Open a new shell (so that %PATH% includes ActivePerl).
cd \dev prep cd openssl<press tab> perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=c:\\dev\\OpenSSL ms\do_masm nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install
You can remove c:\dev\openssl-x.y.z after this.
MySQL
Download the latest release of MySQL Server. It can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#win32 (select "Without installer (unzip in C:\)"). Unzip it to c:\dev\MySQL.
ZeroC ICE
Download the latest version of ZeroC ICE from http://www.zeroc.com/download.html and make sure you select the VS2008 version. Install to c:\dev\Ice
Qt
Download ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/qt-win-opensource-src-4.5.0.zip and unzip to c:\dev. Rename the directory from qt-win-opensource-src-4.5.0 to Qt4.5.0
Download http://mumble.sourceforge.net/qt450msvc.patch and put it in c:\dev\Qt4.5.0. Then, start Git Bash, which came with git.
cd /c/dev/Qt4.5.0 patch -lp0 < qt450msvc.patch exit
Start a regular command shell:
cd \dev prep cd Qt4.5.0 configure -debug-and-release -qt-sql-sqlite -qt-sql-mysql -no-qt3support -no-exceptions -qt-zlib -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -openssl-linked -dbus-linked -I c:\dev\OpenSSL\include -L c:\dev\OpenSSL\lib -I c:\dev\dbus\include -L c:\dev\dbus\lib -I c:\dev\mysql\include -L c:\dev\mysql\lib\opt -platform win32-msvc2008 nmake
This will also take quite a while.
Ogg
Download http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/ogg/libogg-1.1.3.zip and unpack it to c:\dev\libogg. Use the included project files to build a static library (double click C:\dev\libogg\win32\ogg.dsw and MSVC should start. Select Build -> Batch Build -> check both ogg_static's and then click Build). Two files should be in C:\dev\libogg\win32\Static_Debug and C:\dev\libogg\win32\Static_Release. Take both of these files and put them in c:\dev\libogg\lib then rename the files from ogg_static.lib and ogg_static_d.lib to libogg.lib and libogg_d.lib.
Download Mumble and Submodules
To clone the repositories :
cd \dev prep git clone git://mumble.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/mumble mumble cd mumble git submodule init git submodule update
Building Mumble and Murmur
Once all of the above is done we can get to compiling Mumble itself.
If you want to have ASIO support you have to install an additional, proprietary, ASIO SDK. If you do not need it you can disable it by editing the C:\dev\mumble\src\mumble.pri. Add no-asio to the line which says CONFIG += qt thread debug_and_release warn_on to make it CONFIG += qt thread debug_and_release warn_on no-asio. This disables support for ASIO and gets rid of the dependency. Note that the compile will fail unless you either add no-asio or install the ASIO SDK.
If you want to compile Mumble without G15 support change the qmake command below to qmake CONFIG+="no-g15" main.pro
cd \dev prep cd mumble qmake nmake clean nmake
Note that this builds the debug versions, which is what we strongly recommend to use while developing. If you want to send the binary to someone else, use nmake release instead of the last nmake command listed above. This will result in a much smaller binary with fewer dependencies.
Running Mumble and Murmur
Once compiled, you can go into c:\dev\mumble\release or (\debug if you compiled the debug version) and can execute mumble.exe or murmur.exe. Before executing Mumble or Murmur you need to open a command prompt and do
cd \dev prep cd mumble\debug (or release)
Then execute either Mumble or Murmur from the command prompt with
mumble.exe
or
murmur.exe
If you want to make a shortcut or just directly execute the executable from Windows Explorer, you need to manually collect the files and put them into c:\dev\mumble\release (or \debug).
To manually collect the files for a release build just look at which files the official NSI installer puts into C:\Program Files\Mumble and do the same for your own compile. You can find the locations of the files by searching through the Mumble.nsi script. For some reason the dbus-1.dll that is compiled makes it so that dbus-daemon.exe does not start with Mumble unless you execute Mumble from the command line after calling prep. If you want to make it start with Mumble then copy the official build of it from "C:\Program Files\Mumble" instead of the one listed below.
For a debug build a few things are different. If you compiled Mumble exactly as described in the guide, you need to find these files and put them in c:\dev\mumble\debug. The words above the filenames denote the path from c:\dev.
dbus\bin
dbus-1.dll dbus-daemon.exe dbus-send.exe zlib1.dll msvcr90.dll msvcp90.dll msvcm90.dll Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest libxml2.dll libiconv2.dll iconv.dll
Ice\bin
bzip2d.dll ice33d.dll iceutil33d.dll
MySQL\bin
libmysql.dll
OpenSSL\bin
libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll
Qt4.5.0\bin
QtCored4.dll QtDBusd4.dll QtGuid4.dll QtNetworkd4.dll QtOpenGLd4.dll QtSqld4.dll QtXmld4.dll
