Compile vmime on windows with msvc9

Vmime is an open-source third-party class library under GNU, mainly supporting various mail protocols.
 

I am unable to speak about the various third-party library compilation in C ++ in windows.

Libvmime-0.9.1.tar.bz
Http://www.vmime.org/downloads.html

Libiconv-1.9.1
 

Http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.9.1.tar.gz

Gettext-0.13.1.tar.gz
 

Http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.13.1.tar.gz

Libgsasl-1.4.4.tar.gz
Ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gsasl/

Gnutls-2.10.1-x86.exe)
Ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnutls/

(1). libiconv gettext dependency Compilation
 
The iconv () function is used for vmime, while the libiconv and gettext libraries are mutually dependent and compiled, which is a little troublesome.

1. Create an USR folder under the C-root directory and decompress libvmime-0.9.1.tar.bzand gettext-0.13.1.tar.gz to this folder.

2. compile and install an iconv that does not support internationalization
open Visual Studio 2008 of vc9
command prompt. First, enter the following command in the libvime directory
nmake-F makefile. msvc
no_nls = 1 DLL = 1 mflags =-MD (note that the mflags parameter must be consistent with the runtime
library of your project);
after OK, run the following command:
nmake-F makefile. msvc
no_nls = 1 DLL = 1 mflags =-MD install
and so on, then enter the following command
nmake-F
makefile. msvc no_nls = 1 DLL = 1 mflags =-MD distclean
3. compile and install gettext
open Visual Studio 2008 of vc9
command prompt, go to the gettext directory, and enter the following command
nmake-F makefile. msvc DLL = 1
mflags =-MD
and so on, enter the following command
nmake-F makefile. msvc DLL = 1
mflags =-MD install
4. compile and install iconv that supports internationalization
open Visual Studio 2008 of vc9
command prompt and go to the libvime directory, enter the following command
nmake-F
makefile. msvc DLL = 1 mflags =-MD
and so on, enter the following command
nmake-F makefile. msvc DLL = 1
mflags =-MD install

The reason for this is that these libraries are mutually dependent, so the compilation order is libiconv-> gettext-> libiconv

Be sure to compile in C:/usr; otherwise, an error may occur. (The Library in Linux is disgusting ...)
If you still don't understand it, take a look at readme. msvc under libvmime. Hope to help...

(2) libsasl Compilation

Libsasl library compilation is relatively simple. There are SLN project files in it, and you can open the build directly, but 1.6 does not seem to be compiled, and 1.4 does.

(3) gnutls compilation
the compilation of gnutls is amazing, download an EXE to install the Program . After the installation is complete, use Visual Studio 2008 command of vc9
prompt to enter its installation directory ( C: \ Program
files \ gnutls \ bin ), run the following command:
lib
/DEF: libgnutls-26.def
this will create a
libgnutls-26.lib that can be used as a import library for visual
studio projects.
build a sample program to test
it as follows:
C: \ Program
files \ gnutls \ bin> Cl Foo. c-I .. /include
-dssize_t = long libgnutls-26.lib... c: \ Program
files \ gnutls \ bin> Foo 1.6.0 C: \ Program
files \ gnutls \ bin>
reference: http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/
using the gnutls DLL from your Visual Studio
Program column

(4) vmime Compilation

Put the header files under the previously compiled include files in the directory of vc9 (.. /VC/include), put the Lib files in the directory of vc9 (.. /VC/LIB) directory, and then open the SLN project file provided in vmime, build, successful!

If a vmime compilation error occurs, such as ssize_t undefined, you can remove the SRC file under the vmime directory and rebuild it.
