4 | If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide a variety of |
142a7757 |
5 | Makefiles and equivalents. (If you have fetched the source from CVS, |
6 | you'll have to generate the Makefiles yourself -- see below.) |
b69755a7 |
7 | |
8 | For building on Windows: |
7603011f |
9 | |
58de2f3c |
10 | - Makefile.vc is for command-line builds on MS Visual C++ systems. |
11 | Type `nmake -f Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries. |
7603011f |
12 | |
62793edf |
13 | (We've also had one report of success building with the |
14 | OpenWatcom compiler -- www.openwatcom.org -- using Makefile.vc |
15 | with `wmake -ms -f makefile.vc' and NO_MULTIMON, although we |
16 | haven't tried this ourselves.) |
17 | |
58de2f3c |
18 | - Inside the MSVC subdirectory are MS Visual Studio project files |
19 | for doing GUI-based builds of the various PuTTY utilities. These |
20 | have been tested on Visual Studio 6. |
21 | |
22 | You should be able to build each PuTTY utility by loading the |
23 | corresponding .dsp file in Visual Studio. For example, |
24 | MSVC/putty/putty.dsp builds PuTTY itself, MSVC/plink/plink.dsp |
25 | builds Plink, and so on. |
26 | |
7603011f |
27 | - Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f |
28 | Makefile.bor' to build all the PuTTY binaries. |
29 | |
30 | - Makefile.cyg is for Cygwin / mingw32 installations. Type `make -f |
31 | Makefile.cyg' to build all the PuTTY binaries. Note that by |
32 | default the Pageant WinNT security features and the multiple |
33 | monitor support are excluded from the Cygwin build, since at the |
8fb63331 |
34 | time of writing Cygwin doesn't include the necessary headers. |
7603011f |
35 | |
2c228de6 |
36 | - Makefile.lcc is for lcc-win32. Type `make -f Makefile.lcc'. (You |
37 | will probably need to specify COMPAT=-DNO_MULTIMON.) |
38 | |
b69755a7 |
39 | For building on Unix: |
40 | |
41 | - unix/Makefile.gtk is for Unix and GTK. If you don't have GTK, you |
42 | should still be able to build the command-line utilities (PSCP, |
43 | PSFTP, Plink, PuTTYgen) using this makefile. The makefile expects |
44 | you to change into the `unix' subdirectory, then run `make -f |
45 | Makefile.gtk'. Note that Unix PuTTY has mostly only been tested |
46 | on Linux so far; portability problems such as BSD-style ptys or |
47 | different header file requirements are expected. |
48 | |
8fb63331 |
49 | For the graphical utilities, Gtk+-1.2 is required. Gtk+-2.0 is not |
50 | yet supported. |
51 | |
142a7757 |
52 | There is an `install' target; note that by default it tries to |
53 | install `man' pages, which need to be built using Halibut first -- |
54 | see below. |
55 | |
7603011f |
56 | All of the Makefiles are generated automatically from the file |
57 | `Recipe' by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections |
58 | to Recipe and the mkfiles.pl are much more useful than additions and |
59 | corrections to the alternative Makefiles themselves. |

61 | Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix |
62 | `man' pages) is to be built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the |
63 | `doc' subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. Halibut can be found at |
64 | <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>. |

70 | If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the |
71 | Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line |
72 | reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as |
73 | ours. |
