Building Dire Wolf from source on Windows (optional)

Excerpt from user guide follows

The Windows version contains prebuilt executable files so you don’t need to build it from source. If you want to build it from source, here is how to do it.

It is built using Cygwin, which provides a Unix-like development environment. The MinGW compiler is a special version of gcc which generates native code for the Windows operating system.

Install Cygwin 64 from https://cygwin.com/

During installation pick these additional packages:

  • git
  • bin-utils
  • make
  • cmake
  • mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core
  • mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++

If you want to generate code for a 32 bit target (i.e. Windows XP), also install these:

  • mingw64-i686gcc-core
  • mingw64-i686gcc-g++

Open a Cygwin command window by double clicking this desktop shortcut.

Edit your ~/.bash_profile file and add the following:

export CC=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
export CXX=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++
export AR=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar
export WINDRES=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres

To build the 32 bit version, use these instead:

export CC=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
export CXX=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-g++
export AR=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ar
export WINDRES=/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-windres

These commands will be run automatically when a new command window is opened. To apply them to the current command window:

source ~/.bash_profile

Type this to obtain the source code:

git clone http://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf
cd direwolf

This is the most recent stable version. If you want the most recent development version, with all of the latest new features and bug fixes, type:

git checkout dev

Build it. Notice the double period at the end of the cmake command.

mkdir build
cd buile
cmake -DUNITTEST=1 ..
make -j4

It would be a good idea to run the self-tests.

make test

The result should be several new executable files, in the build/src directory including “direwolf.exe” and “decode_aprs.exe”.

If you want to bundle up the application, so it can be run on a different computer, create a zip file with:

make package

Skip sections 5 (Linux) and 6 (Mac OS X) and proceed to section 7 for Basic Operation.
