Mumble has quite a few dependencies for building on Windows, and as the feature set grows, so does the list of dependencies. Therefore we have built some automated scripts to create a sane build environment for Mumble. To make this build environment as similar as possible across all of Mumble's supported Platforms, the Windows build is strongly dependent on [https://www.cygwin.com/ Cygwin].

You'll need Visual Studio 2008 (or Visual C++ Express Edition) with SP1 and GnuWin32.

After all this preparation start the actual Mumble compilation with

You should end up with a mumble.exe and a murmur.exe binary (and a whole collection of .DLL files to go along with the two) in the "release" directory in the root of the Mumble source tree.

When you have installed GnuWin32 go to your "Program Files" directory and rename ''GnuWin32'' to ''1GnuWin32'' . For some reason when cmake sees this as something it can use if it is not renamed.

If you're using Visual C++ Express Edition, you will need to manually extract the files using a tool like [http://7-zip.org/ 7-zip ]. Extract it to ''C:\dev\'' and adjust [[BuildingWindows#Custom_Dependency_Paths|the VLD_PATH]] to point to it.
  
Download http://prdownloads.sf.net/boost/boost_1_36_0.7z?download and http://prdownloads.sf.net/boost/boost-jam-3.1.16-1-ntx86.zip?download and unzip both to C:\dev\

== (Optional) Custom Dependency Paths ==

bjam --toolset=msvc --prefix=C:\dev\Boost install
 
  
This might take a while, but when done you'll have Boost installed.
+
The build files were modified to support custom dependency paths a while ago. This is for the people who have '''the dependencies installed in some other place than the autogenerated directory structure'''. To specify the custom paths you need to '''create a ''winpaths_custom.pri'' file''' to the root of your Mumble project. In this file you can override all paths found in ''winpaths_default.pri''. For example:
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_35_0 and boost-jam directories. If you get the warning, that some targets were skipped or failed, it can be ignored for our purposes.

+
Would make the build process search its OpenSSL and Ice dependencies in the specified folders and use defaults for everything else. Note that you should only override the variables for dependencies you actually installed in non-default locations to prevent clashes with possible future updates.
  
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 ==

'''Note:''' If you copied ''winpaths_default.pri'' to create your ''winpaths_custom.pri'' make sure to delete the following lines from your ''winpaths_custom.pri'' file:
  
Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/ and download the latest SDK. Install it to c:\dev\DXSDK\

If you want to create an installable .msi package from your self-compiled Mumble some additional steps are needed.
  
From http://download.cegit.de/kde-windows/repository/win32libs/single/ download the lib and bin files for iconv, libxml and zlib. Unpack 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 and install the latest WIX stable Version (currently 3.8) from [http://wixtoolset.org/releases/ here].
  
Download http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.1-win32-x86.zip and unpack it to c:\dev. Rename the top directory to just 'cmake'.

Set the following environment variables as needed (see defaults in installer/Settings.wxi):
 +
  MumbleSourceDir  default: \dev\mumble
 +
  MumbleQtDir  default: \dev\QtMumble
 +
  MumbleDebugToolsDir  default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)

  Define MumbleSSE to include SSE
 +
  Define MumbleNoSSE2 to exclude SSE2
 +
  Define MumbleNoG15 to exclude G15
  
Checkout the SVN of WinDBus from https://windbus.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/windbus/trunk to c:\dev\windbus
+
Open installer/MumbleInstall.sln, switch to release and build the installer.
  
cd \dev

Download the latest release of MySQL Server. It can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html#downloads . Use a custom install and install only the headers and libraries. Use c:\dev\MySQL as the base directory. To do this go through the installer until you come to a window that says "Custom Setup" at the top. You will see five parent selections: MYSQL Server, Client Programs, etc. On all of the first four click on the little hard drive icon and select "This feature will not be available." On the last one--the fifth--click the red X and select "This feature, and all subfeatures, will be installed on local hard drive." Proceed through the installer.

Building Guides

This page is one of a set of Building pages/guides for the different OSes with information on building Mumble/Murmur.

BuildingLinux BuildingFreeBSD BuildingOpenBSD BuildingMacOSX BuildingWindows


Commandline instructions

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).

Note that each line is a separate command. So, if you wanted to do the following,

cd mumble
nmake

you would type "cd mumble" in your command prompt, and press enter, and then you would type "nmake", and press enter.

Ok. So you're ready to start working.

Build using MSVC on Windows

Introduction

Mumble has quite a few dependencies for building on Windows, and as the feature set grows, so does the list of dependencies. Therefore we have built some automated scripts to create a sane build environment for Mumble. To make this build environment as similar as possible across all of Mumble's supported Platforms, the Windows build is strongly dependent on Cygwin.

The mumble-releng Github repository has an up-to-date README on how to create the build environment!

Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
The most up-to-date information on how to create a Mumble build environment are always to be found in this README file!
Elaboration: There is an older deprecated version of this article at BuildingWindows (deprecated) showing how to build Mumble manually with QT4 which is far more complex.


Software you will need

Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
We currently depend on Visual Studio to be in their default locations, and the Windows 7 SDK to be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A (rather than the default C:\Program Files\…).

Creating the build environment

First you need to clone the mumble-releng repository into a directory in which your Windows user has write access. cd into that directory, then

git clone https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble-releng.git mumble-releng

In the terminal window, change to the directory the scripts for Windows (32-bit) and static build reside in.

cd mumble-releng/buildenv/1.3.x/win32-static

and execute

setup.cmd

This should install a Mumble build environment in your C:\MumbleBuild directory named with a date and shortened commit hash like win32-static-1.3.x-2015-05-25-1234ab7.

If everything went right Windows Explorer should open up the new build environment directory as named above.

Build Mumble's dependencies

To start building Mumble's dependencies, double-click the "MumbleBuild - cygwin" shortcut. This will open a cygwin terminal. To change the current directory to the build environment's local clone of the mumble-releng repository type:

cd mumble-releng/buildenv/1.3.x/win32-static
Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
This mumble-releng directory is a copy. Should you want to update your build environment in the future, proceed from the original.

To download and build all dependencies (this will take a long time!), execute

./build-all.bash

Once all dependencies are built, you will be returned to your Cygwin shell. Make sure it did not stop because of an error.

The built dependencies are located in the corresponding .build folder.

Building Mumble

To build Mumble itself using your newly-built build environment, you should use the "MumbleBuild - cmd" shortcut to launch a Windows command prompt.

Next, make a checkout of the Mumble source tree and enter the root of the source tree with

git clone --recursive https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble.git mumble
cd mumble

to generate Makefiles for use with the build environment, run

qmake -recursive main.pro CONFIG+="release static no-elevation no-g15 no-asio" CONFIG-=sse2
Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
This build environment does not install the libraries and headers needed to build Mumble with G15 LCD or ASIO audio support. If you want to build Mumble with one of them you need to install them to the build environment on your own. In this case remove no-g15 or rather no-asio accordingly.

After all this preparation start the actual Mumble compilation with

nmake

You should end up with a mumble.exe and a murmur.exe binary (and a whole collection of .DLL files to go along with the two) in the "release" directory in the root of the Mumble source tree.

If you want to distribute your own mumble.exe you can either create an installer (see below) or collect mumble.exe and the needed .DLL files yourself.

(Optional) Visual Leak Detector

Note:
VLD is no longer a default requirement for a Mumble build environment. You only have to install it if you want to use it in which case you have to manually enable it with CONFIG+=vld.

Download VLD and install it to its default install location.

If you're using Visual C++ Express Edition, you will need to manually extract the files using a tool like 7-zip . Extract it to C:\dev\ and adjust the VLD_PATH to point to it.

Note:
VLD is only enabled for debug builds. If you only compile Release builds you do not need it.

(Optional) Custom Dependency Paths

The build files were modified to support custom dependency paths a while ago. This is for the people who have the dependencies installed in some other place than the autogenerated directory structure. To specify the custom paths you need to create a winpaths_custom.pri file to the root of your Mumble project. In this file you can override all paths found in winpaths_default.pri. For example:

 OPENSSL_PATH = C:\\dev\MyOpenSSLIsSomewhereElse
 ICE_PATH = C:\\Program Files (x86)\\ZeroC\\Ice-3.4.1

Would make the build process search its OpenSSL and Ice dependencies in the specified folders and use defaults for everything else. Note that you should only override the variables for dependencies you actually installed in non-default locations to prevent clashes with possible future updates.


Note: If you copied winpaths_default.pri to create your winpaths_custom.pri make sure to delete the following lines from your winpaths_custom.pri file:

# Include custom file if it exists
exists(winpaths_custom.pri) {
	include(winpaths_custom.pri)
}

(Optional) Build a Mumble installer package

If you want to create an installable .msi package from your self-compiled Mumble some additional steps are needed.

Download and install the latest WIX stable Version (currently 3.8) from here.

Set the following environment variables as needed (see defaults in installer/Settings.wxi):

 MumbleSourceDir  default: \dev\mumble
 MumbleQtDir  default: \dev\QtMumble
 MumbleDebugToolsDir  default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)
 MumbleSndFileDir  default: \Program Files (x86)\Mega-Nerd\libsndfile\bin
   Define MumbleNoSndFile to exclude  libsndfile
 MumbleMySQLDir  default: \dev\MySQL
   Define MumbleNoMySQL to exclude  MySQL
 MumbleIceDir  default: \Program Files (x86)\ZeroC\Ice-3.4.2\bin\vc100
   Define MumbleNoIce to exclude Ice
 MumbleOpenSslDir  default: \dev\openssl
 MumbleZlibDir  default: \dev\zlib
 MumbleMergeModuleDir  default: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules
 Define MumbleSSE to include SSE
 Define MumbleNoSSE2 to exclude SSE2
 Define MumbleNoG15 to exclude G15

Open installer/MumbleInstall.sln, switch to release and build the installer.

Once this completed successfully run the build_installer.pl script to include all translations into your installer.

You should now have a working .msi installer.

Build using MXE on Debian and derivates

Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
Mumble supports MinGW since commit 10079ed9867308aad098231f86e260bd831b0ac6 (March 2017, first stable version 1.3.0).

Introduction

It is possible to cross-compile Mumble using a MinGW toolchain. If you're more comfortable with a Unix-like system, you will probably prefer this method. The easiest way to cross-compile Mumble is by using MXE, which provides all the required dependencies.

Features currently not available with MinGW:

  • Overlay
  • Logitech G15 LCD
  • ZeroC Ice
  • Bonjour
Icons oxygen 48x48 actions view-pim-notes.png
Note:
In the guide there are some commands with ${ARCH} in them.

You need to replace it with the desired architecture, which can be x86_64 (64 bit) or i686 (32 bit).

(If you are on a 64bit system and the above doesn't work for you, you might want to try x86-64 (with a dash instead of an underscore) instead).

Installing the required MXE packages

Add MXE's repository to your system's sources:

Debian

echo "deb https://dl.mumble.info/mirror/pkg.mxe.cc/repos/apt stretch main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mxe.list

Ubuntu

echo "deb https://dl.mumble.info/mirror/pkg.mxe.cc/repos/apt xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mxe.list

Add the repository's key:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 86B72ED9

Update packages index:

sudo apt update

Install the required packages

sudo apt install \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-qtbase \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-qtsvg \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-qttools \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-qttranslations \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-boost \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-protobuf \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-sqlite \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-flac \
 	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-ogg \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-vorbis \
	mxe-${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-libsndfile

Preparing the environment

Clone Mumble's Git repository

git clone https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble.git
cd mumble

Get the ASIO SDK

wget https://www.steinberg.net/sdk_downloads/asiosdk2.3.zip -P /tmp/
unzip /tmp/asiosdk2.3.zip -d /tmp/
mv /tmp/ASIOSDK2.3 3rdparty/asio

Export environment variable to tell QMake where MXE's protobuf compiler is

export MUMBLE_PROTOC=/usr/lib/mxe/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/protoc

Add MXE's directory to PATH

PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/mxe/usr/bin

Build

Run QMake to process the project(s) files

${ARCH}-w64-mingw32.static-qmake-qt5 -recursive CONFIG+="release g15-emulator no-overlay no-bonjour no-elevation no-ice"

Start the build

make
