Edit C:\Qt\4.2.0\bin\qtvars.bat and add the following line (the second is only

Currently you need to put it into that location in case you plan to create

the NSIS installer because so far it contains hardcoded paths for this location.

Source changes:

---------------

Next you need to shift some files around. For convenience we've made an archive

that handles all the changes for you. Download it and unpack to qgis source directory:

http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/msys/qgis-qmake-files.zip

List of what has been changed / added by this archive to enable compilation:

- moved qgscsexception.h, qgsspatialrefsys* and qgscoordinatetransform* into core dir from gui

- moved qgspluginregistry.* from core to gui

- qgsspatialrefsys.cpp - commented out SRS validation using projection selector

- qgsspatialrefsys.cpp - commented out lines using qgsproject as it depends on gui stuff

- qgsdistancearea.cpp - commented out lines using qgsproject as it depends on

gui stuff and moved to core

- lexer and parser generated by genlexyacc.bat

- added custom qgsconfig.h and qgssvnversion.h

Building:

---------

Now open the qt command shell (or start "cmd" and run c:\Qt\4.2.0\bin\qtvars.bat)

cd c:\dev\cpp\qgis

qmake

make

This will compile both debug and release version. To make just a one of them

use "make debug" or "make release" respectively.

Note: debug version uses debug version of Qt library thus if linking fails

on not founding library QtSvgd4 (or similar), you need to compile them

as described in section for Qt.

Running: (optional)

--------

After successfull make you can run QGIS directly from the directory

where it has been built: qgis-debug and/or qgis-release in qgis root dir.

You only need to add data files - we have provided an archive for convenience

which you can just unpack there and run QGIS:

http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/msys/qgis_data.zip

Then just run qgis.exe

GDB: (optional)

----

If you plan to do some debugging, download and install gdb-6.3.2.exe from

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gdb-6.3-2.exe?download

and install to c:\msys\mingw

Create the installation package: (optional)

--------------------------------

Downlad and install NSIS from (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page)

Download both the QGIS debug and release installer packages from

http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/testbuilds/

and install them. Now copy the installation dirs from C:\Program Files\QGIS* into

c:\dev\cpp\qgis\qgis-debug and c:\dev\cpp\qgis\qgis-release respectively. After

making these copies uninstall the release and debug versions of QGIS from

your c:\Program Files directories using the provided uninstaller. Double check

that both dirs are complete gone under program files afterwards.

Now using windows explorer, enter the c:\dev\cpp\qgis\win_build directory and right

click on qgis.nsi and choose the option 'Compile NSIS Script'. Do the same

for qgis-debug.nsi. Congratulations you should have two installable qgis

setup files in the win_build directory now..
