Although the instructions provide on github are quite completed there were some issues I had to solve myself for doing the example works, so I share here my experience.
Getting the system ready:
- Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio. Enable C++ support while installing.
- Download and install CMake; choose "Add CMake to the system PATH" option while installing.
- Download and install Git.
- Download and unpack PHP. Add the path to php.exe to the PATH environment variable
- Download and install JDK.
- Close and re-open PowerShell if the PATH environment variable was changed
Building TDLIB Binaries
- Run these commands in PowerShell to build TDLib and to install it to td/tdlib:
Building JNI & Java example
- Run these
commands in PowerShell but taking into account next remarks
I had to install gperf manually and add the path to gperf.exe to the PATH environment variable.
The first cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD has to be modified as follows (taking into account you path to TDLib sources is D:\TDLib\td)
cmake -A x64 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DTD_ENABLE_JNI=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=../example/java/td .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=D:/TDLib/td/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
The second cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD has to be modified as follows,
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DTd_DIR=D:/TDLib/td/example/java/td/lib/cmake/Td -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=.. ..
Before this last command, I get an error when I run ‘mkdir build’ because the directory already exists but it seems not to be a problem since everything works fine
Enjoy,
Culex
