How to build by using cmake

• You can build Tera Term by using cmake(EXPERIMENTAL).

cmake version

• The final version of cmake supporting for Visual Studio 2005 is 3.11.4.
• The ttpmacro.exe can not be built with Visual Studio 2005 Express.
• This no restriction by using Visual Studio any version other than 2005(including Express).
• When the cmake option is selected on Visual Studio 2017 installer, the cmake can be installed.

MinGW (very experimental)

• You can create the binary file by using MinGW.
• EXPERIMENTAL
• The ttpmacro.exe can not be built with MinGW.

How to build library

• You can prepare libraries used by Tera Term.
• Refer to lib/build_library_with_cmake.md.
• Refet to develop.txt.

How to build Tera Term

Please execute below commands on the top of source tree.

mkdir build_vs2005
cd build_vs2005
..\libs\cmake-3.11.4-win32-x86\bin\cmake.exe .. -G "Visual Studio 8 2005"
..\libs\cmake-3.11.4-win32-x86\bin\cmake.exe --build . --config release

• Change a string after -G option according to Visual Studio version.
• The sln file is created, so the file can be opened with Visual Studio.
• If the cmake is included in path, you need not write the full path of cmake.
• When Visual Studio is launched by sln file and is building, the Visual Studio can re-generate the project file after detecting changes to CMakeLists.txt. So, the sln file is manually created only once.

How to build Tera Term(MinGW)

Please execute below commands on the top of source tree by using the cmake available on MinGW.

mkdir build_mingw_test
cd build_mingw_test
cmake .. -G "Unix Makefiles"
make -j4
