CCP4 Molecular Graphics Documentation
	Build Instructions for CCP4MG on Windows

Compile CCP4 libs with gcc/g++

• Install MinGW
• Install MSYS
• Download ccp4 source, build on Vista, using 'generic' as OS.

Install Python2.6

• Install Python binary distribution (2.6.1)

Compile Qt 4.5

The Qt 4.5 binary downloads are now compiled with MSVC, which makes redistributing them harder.

So I compile Qt from source.

• Download and extract the following (or later version) qt-all-opensource-src-4.5.0.tar.bz2
• In an msys shell:

  export QTDIR=/c/msys/1.0/home/Stuart/qt-all-opensource-src-4.5.0/
  export PATH=/c/msys/1.0/home/Stuart/qt-all-opensource-src-4.5.0/bin:$PATH
  export QMAKESPEC=$QTDIR/mkspecs/win32-g++
  
  ./configure.exe (Note the .exe is important)
  mingw32-make
  

Install PyQt

Following http://diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/BuildPyQt4Windows

• Download latest development snapshots of sip and PyQt.
• Open a command prompt.

    set PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\msys\1.0\home\Stuart\qt-all-opensource-src-4.5.0\bin;C:\MinGW\bin
  
    cd sip-4.8-snapshot-20090311
    c:\python26\python configure.py -p win32-g++
    mingw32-make
    mingw32-make install
  
    cd PyQt-win-gpl-4.5-snapshot-20090311
    c:\python26\python configure.py -w
    mingw32-make
    mingw32-make install
  

Install some auxiliary stuff

• Install complete package, except source GnuWin32 versions of zlib, libungif, libtiff, libjpeg, libpng into C:/GnuWin32 (Replace C with whatever your system drive is.
• Install pexports (copy binary to /c/mingw/bin). This step may no longer be necessary as Python comes with libraries against which gcc can link.

Compile MG

mkdir ccp4mg_dir
cd ccp4mg_dir
CVS_RSH=ssh CVSROOT=mgdev@cvs.ccp4.ac.uk:/public/ccp4mg/MG_CVS cvs -z9 co -r Rel_2_B .
cp -a ccp4_build clipper
PATH=/c/Python26/:$QTDIR/bin:$PATH ./configure --extra-inc=/c/GnuWin32/include --extra-lib=/c/GnuWin32/lib
make

Make python have no MSVC lib dependency

OK, Python26 is not really redistributable unless target machine has (from some source) the VC++ redistributable dlls.

• Install Visual Studio Express.
• Download Python source, open the solution in in PCBuild in VC++ 2008 Express. Change all project code generation options to /MT and add NODEFAULTLIB:MSVCRT to linker command line. Copy the created python.exe, pythonw.exe to ccp4mg_dir/pythondist/bin and *.pyd to ccp4mg_dir/pythondist/DLLs

Compile Pixie

• Download Pixie
• Compile Pixie from source, with VC++ 2008 Express (ensure that no dependency on non-standard MSVC libs, see fixing Python above). This takes a long time, especially at "Code generation" step for ri.exp. Run makeinst.bat.
• Install Pixie binary, copy zlib1.dll from that into the compiled Pixie's bin. (!!!!)
• cp Pixie to ccp4mg_dir/pixie.

Compile PISA

In preparation.

PISA will have been built when CCP4 was built (it is part of it).

cp ccp4_dir/src/pisa/pisa.exe ccp4mg_dir/ccp4_suite/bin

But we are still having to make some patches which we hope to agree with the PISA author Eugene Krissinel.

Install monomer library

cp -a ccp4_dir/lib/data/monomers/ ccp4mg_dir/data/monomer_library

Run the program

Build release

cp /c/msys/1.0/home/Stuart/qt-all-opensource-src-4.5.0/bin/*.dll ccp4mg_dir/lib
cp -a /c/msys/1.0/home/Stuart/qt-all-opensource-src-4.5.0/plugins ccp4mg_dir/QtPlugins
cp /c/GnuWin32/bin/*.dll ccp4mg_dir/lib
cp ccp4mg_dir/pixie/bin/zlib1.dll ccp4mg_dir/lib
