\page build Build instructions
\section Introduction Introduction
Compiling TortoiseGit is not very difficult, but it requires several steps
to finish, at least the first time.
Unlike other big open source projects, once you have built all the libraries
TortoiseGit depends on, you can use the familiar Visual Studio IDE to build
and debug the binaries. No need to run the build script for every little change.
So don't give up if you read through the next section and all the requirements.
You only have to do this once.
\section Requirements Requirements
\subsection Requirements1 First, you need to install the compiler package.
-# You need VS2012 Professional with Update 1 (or at least VS 2010 Professional) to allow
building of the full TortoiseGit package.
If you don't have the Update 1 installed for VS2012 you cannot build
binaries which run on Windows XP.
This is the recommended option, but it is not free :-(
If you want to build the msi make sure the "Tools for Redistributing
Applications" are installed.
-# If you do not have access to VS Professional you can download the free
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop.
This will allow you to build the subversion libraries and the
TortoiseGitBlame, TortoiseGitUDiff, TortoiseGitIDiff, CrashRpt
and ResText projects only. You can not build the main parts of
TortoiseGit(shell extension, TortoiseGitProc, TGitCache, TortoiseGitMerge)
with the Express Edition!
- Install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop.
Download it from http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-for-windows-desktop
\note Do not bother to install WiX and Votive as you cannot build very much.
\subsection Requirements2 Next you need to install some utilities/programs.
- WiX3.7 http://wix.codeplex.com/
.
\section get external source code
git submodule update --init
\section build Building the packages
Open TortoiseGit.sln
Build all projects.
If you want to build the installer package, make sure you build the Win32 configuration before the x64 one.
