Building Tamarin on Windows
Friday, March 27, 2009 I just finished building Tamarin on Windows XP SP 3 w/ Visual Studio 2008. Like almost all things, what the documents say are very different from reality. Surprisingly, the Tamarin docs are pretty good minus a few hiccups. Here are the steps needed to hopefully build it:
- Install Visual Studio 2008. You don't need SP1.
- Checkout tamarin-central or tamarin-redux.
- Get zlib from mozilla-central.
- Copy the mozilla-central/modules/zlib to "tamarin-redux/../../../../modules/zlib". For example, my tamarin is in C:\projects\tamarin, my zlib is C:\modules\zlib.
- If you are getting an error about the MMGc project failing to load, copy tamarin-redux\platform\win32\armasm.rules to ${Visual Studio 9 directory}\VC\VCProjectDefaults\.
- Open tamarin\platform\win32\avmplus2008.sln & build!
