Building

Software

Download and install (in their default install paths):

Windows 7 x64 (if you don't have already)
Visual Studio 2010 Professional Trial (you only need Visual C++ with x64 Compilers and Tools)
Windows Driver Kit 7.1.0 (you only need Build Environments)
Inno Setup 5.4 Unicode
ISSkin 3
7-Zip 9.22 x64
gendef (extract to c:\mozilla-build)

Source code

Download the patched XChat source code and extract it to somewhere. You will work in the extracted xchat-wdk folder from now.

Dependencies

Download:

You can download them all at once with Free Download Manager (File/Import/Import list of downloads).

Put them in the win32\deps-x86 and win32\deps-x64 folders respectively. Extract them by running win32\dep-extract.bat.

Language interfaces

You can skip this step, but then you won't be able to generate the installer.

Download:

Strawberry Perl 5.12 x86 (extract to c:\mozilla-build\perl-5.12-x86)
Strawberry Perl 5.14 x86 (extract to c:\mozilla-build\perl-5.14-x86)
ActiveTcl 8.5 x86 (install to c:\mozilla-build\tcl-8.5-x86)
Python 2.7 x86 (install to c:\mozilla-build\python-2.7-x86)

Strawberry Perl 5.12 x64 (extract to c:\mozilla-build\perl-5.12-x64)
Strawberry Perl 5.14 x64 (extract to c:\mozilla-build\perl-5.14-x64)
ActiveTcl 8.5 x64 (install to c:\mozilla-build\tcl-8.5-x64)
Python 2.7 x64 (install to c:\mozilla-build\python-2.7-x64)

You can use other paths, but then you must update them in win32\build-x86.bat, win32\build-x64.bat and src\makeinc.skel.mak.

Building

Run win32\build-x86.bat and/or win32\build-x64.bat.

If everything went fine, the resulting binaries will be found in win32\dist-x86 and/or win32\dist-x64. It was easy, wasn't it?
