1 | This is the README for the source archive of PuTTY, a free Win32 |
8fb63331 |

4 | If you want to rebuild PuTTY from source, we provide a variety of |
4494be0a |
5 | Makefiles and equivalents. (If you have fetched the source from |
6 | Subversion, you'll have to generate the Makefiles yourself -- see |
7 | below.) |

9 | For building on Windows: |
7603011f |
10 | |
6da41155 |
11 | - windows/Makefile.vc is for command-line builds on MS Visual C++ |
12 | systems. Change into the `windows' subdirectory and type `nmake |
13 | -f Makefile.vc' to build all the PuTTY binaries. |
7603011f |
14 | |
62793edf |
15 | (We've also had one report of success building with the |
16 | OpenWatcom compiler -- www.openwatcom.org -- using Makefile.vc |
17 | with `wmake -ms -f makefile.vc' and NO_MULTIMON, although we |
18 | haven't tried this ourselves.) |
19 | |
6da41155 |
20 | - Inside the windows/MSVC subdirectory are MS Visual Studio project |
21 | files for doing GUI-based builds of the various PuTTY utilities. |
22 | These have been tested on Visual Studio 6. |
58de2f3c |
23 | |
24 | You should be able to build each PuTTY utility by loading the |
25 | corresponding .dsp file in Visual Studio. For example, |
26 | MSVC/putty/putty.dsp builds PuTTY itself, MSVC/plink/plink.dsp |
27 | builds Plink, and so on. |
28 | |
6da41155 |
29 | - windows/Makefile.bor is for the Borland C compiler. Type `make -f |
30 | Makefile.bor' while in the `windows' subdirectory to build all |
31 | the PuTTY binaries. |
7603011f |
32 | |
6da41155 |
33 | - windows/Makefile.cyg is for Cygwin / mingw32 installations. Type |
34 | `make -f Makefile.cyg' while in the `windows' subdirectory to |
35 | build all the PuTTY binaries. Note that by default the multiple |
36 | monitor support is excluded from the Cygwin build, since at the |
8fb63331 |
37 | time of writing Cygwin doesn't include the necessary headers. |
7603011f |
38 | |
6da41155 |
39 | - windows/Makefile.lcc is for lcc-win32. Type `make -f |
40 | Makefile.lcc' while in the `windows' subdirectory. (You will |
41 | probably need to specify COMPAT=-DNO_MULTIMON.) |
2c228de6 |
42 | |
b69755a7 |
43 | For building on Unix: |
44 | |
45 | - unix/Makefile.gtk is for Unix and GTK. If you don't have GTK, you |
46 | should still be able to build the command-line utilities (PSCP, |
47 | PSFTP, Plink, PuTTYgen) using this makefile. The makefile expects |
48 | you to change into the `unix' subdirectory, then run `make -f |
49 | Makefile.gtk'. Note that Unix PuTTY has mostly only been tested |
50 | on Linux so far; portability problems such as BSD-style ptys or |
51 | different header file requirements are expected. |
52 | |
8fb63331 |
53 | For the graphical utilities, Gtk+-1.2 is required. Gtk+-2.0 is not |
54 | yet supported. |
55 | |
142a7757 |
56 | There is an `install' target; note that by default it tries to |
57 | install `man' pages, which need to be built using Halibut first -- |
58 | see below. |
59 | |
7603011f |
60 | All of the Makefiles are generated automatically from the file |
61 | `Recipe' by the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections |
62 | to Recipe and the mkfiles.pl are much more useful than additions and |
63 | corrections to the alternative Makefiles themselves. |

64 | |
142a7757 |
65 | Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix |
66 | `man' pages) is to be built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the |
67 | `doc' subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. Halibut can be found at |
68 | <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>. |

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