WebP build instructions for Windows #31

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The build instructions:
http://code.google.com/speed/webp/download.html
have not been updated and will not work for Cygwin or Msys if you have Visual 
Studio installed.  Which is typically the case for Windows developers.

For msys
step 4 and 5 require
CXX=mingw32-g++ ./configure -prefix=/mingw

I haven't tried webpconv. I think Frank did make it work under Windows.

Also, the new tools in libwebp work under Windows (both with Cygwin and Visual 
C++). Do we still care about webpconv?

I made it work with msys, but the instructions do not show how to do it for 
msys or Visual C.
libwebp has different issues, which should be opened as a new issue if we care 
to fix them.

Is webpconv no longer supported?  If not, remove it from the downloads and mark 
this as 'wont fix'.

It looks like webpconv is no longer on the download page.
http://code.google.com/speed/webp/download.html
But we should open a new bugs
1. cwebp binary is not posted
2. build instructions are not updated for windows.

On http://code.google.com/p/webp/downloads/list it's marked as deprecated (one 
needs to change 'Current downloads' -> 'All downloads' to see it) and Pascal 
also thinks we don't need to care about it.

Reopening/changing title to just WebP build instructions.
The instructions refer to how to set up cygwin - I suggest changing this to 
Visual C and/or MinGW setup.
The instructions show how to compile with Visual C, which is great.  But you 
could also show the MinGW instructions.
