How to compile liboauth for windows

Question

Anyone successfully compiled liboauth for Windows?

Any help here much appreciated.

Answer 1

You need at least 0.9.3 to compile as you have tried.

version 0.9.3
 - yet more build-system fixes:
   - allow to override HASH_LIBS and CURL_LIBS using envoronment variables
   - include them in .pc and tests/Makefile.am

I use the following steps to make it work:

To do this you need MSYS/MINGW installed

1. Goto: http://www.gknw.de/mirror/curl/win32/
2. Download current curl-x.xx.x-ssl-sspi-zlib-static-bin-w32.zip
3. Open zip file read built.txt and find out which version of OpenSSL was used.
4. Extract libcurl.dll, libeay32.dll and libssl32.dll and install in mingw/bin directory
5. Goto the CURL homepage and download the matching curl-x.xx.x.zip file.
6. Open the zip file and move the include/curl directory into /mingw so it is at mingw/include/curl
7. Goto OpenSSL homepage and download the matching openssl-x.x.xy.tar.gz file.
8. Open the tar.gz and move the include/openssl directory into /mingw
9. Goto http://liboauth.sourceforge.net/ and download the current version (get 0.9.3 as a minimum)

10. from msys shell, run:

    env PKG_CONFIG=/bin/true ./configure --disable-static --disable-curl \
    CURL_LIBS=/mingw/bin/libcurl.dll HASH_LIBS="/mingw/bin/libeay32.dll \
    /mingw/bin/libssl32.dll" --prefix=/mingw
    

11. then:

    mingw32-make && mingw32-make check
    

12. Fingers crossed, it all compiles as it should.

    mingw32-make install
