Please add a makefile for Windows

[XmlmXmlmX]

To build this for Windows would be great.

There is now cmake support after #92 ; maybe that can help you for Windows (probably the cmake file might need some adjustments).

[HitkoDev]

The following works on Windows, assuming you have cmake and Visual Studio Build Tools installed:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/google/woff2.git

#  Build brotli
cd woff2\brotli
mkdir out
cd out
cmake ..
cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD --config Release

# Apply the fix to src/table_tags.h before proceeding (see below)

# Build woff2
cd ..\..    # Go back to the project root
mkdir out
cd out
cmake -DCMAKE_WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS=TRUE -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=TRUE -DBROTLIDEC_INCLUDE_DIRS="../brotli/c/include" -DBROTLIDEC_LIBRARIES="../brotli/out/Release/brotlidec.lib" -DBROTLIENC_INCLUDE_DIRS="../brotli/c/include" -DBROTLIENC_LIBRARIES="../brotli/out/Release/brotlienc.lib" ..
cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD --config Release
Copy-item -Recurse -Verbose ..\brotli\out\Release -Destination .
# woff2 libraries and binaries are now in the `out/Release` folder

Fixed src/table_tags.h

Is it possible to have the compiled binaries hosted somewhere?

[vincent38]

You can bypass the lack of makefile for windows by installing a linux subsystem and building the application from there (tested)

I uploaded compiled binaries to DropBox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fgm9wnm1xfmzx2d/woff2.zip?dl=1

[tim-harding]

@HitkoDev Is there a reason your fix for src/table_tags.h isn't in the master branch? To build on Windows, you still have to manually edit this file for the project to build correctly.

[kirawi]

The exact steps by HitkoDev did not work for me, specifically editing the file, but these did (I used MinGW64 for compilation, no idea if others work):

1. Build Brotli (Built using MSVC)

   > cd brotli
   > mkdir out
   > cd out
   > cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE ..
   > cmake --build . --config Release

2. Build WOFF2 CLI

   > cd ../.. (to go to woff2 folder)
   > mkdir out
   > cd out
   > cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DBROTLIDEC_LIBRARIES="../brotli/out/brotlidec.lib" -DBROTLIENC_LIBRARIES="../brotli/out/brotlienc.lib" ..

   Make sure you have env variables set to the path of your built Brotli dlls!

I don't see any instructions on how to build windows binaries from WSL2. The Github landing page instructions builds Linux executables (with no file extension).

woff2_compress woff2_decompress woff2_info

Can anyone shed some light on how to build windows binaries for this? I know they are hosted, but I'd like to figure out how to build on my own.

[neheb]

MSYS2 can build this. It requires no dllexport shenanigans.

[MarthB]

I don't know if there would be any issues using google CoLab to run this (I am a beginner) but that is what I did because I could not figure out how to do it in my Command Prompt on Windows. Here is my step by step colab doc that you are welcome to make a copy of and use: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1wig2KmizPuH97BeiS-3B4v0-r1cLVSNk?usp=sharing

[re-memeber]

I am very new to this stuff, so I need a little more guidence. Could you please share a step-by-step instruction on how to use this and make it work. I am sure you'd help a lot of Newbies like myself out.
