Windows Build Instructions

Windows is not supported by design, but with WSL/mingw, we can compile it on windows.

MSYS2-UCRT64

Tested on msys2-ucrt64

Dependencies

pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-openssl pkg-config autoconf automake libtool pkg-config mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-mbedtls

Then I recommend build libevent your self, just use the same toolchain as well.

mkdir -p ./libevent/build
cd ./libevent/build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./dist ..

cmake --build .

cmake --install . --prefix "./dist"

Suppose we have the libevent compiled and installed it to /c/Users/Bob/repos/libevent/build/dist

Compile

Let's say build in the ./build folder and install path is ./install

mkdir -p ./build && mkdir -p ./install

Then

cd build

cmake -DLibevent2_ROOT=/c/Users/Bob/repos/libevent/build/dist -DWITH_APPLET=ON \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

cmake --build .

cmake --install . --prefix "../install"

At last, we copy other used-dlls from ucrt64 (like libwinpthread, libssl and libcrypto)

cd ../install/bin
ldd pegas.exe  | grep ucrt64 | awk -F\> '{print $2}' | awk -F ' ' '{print $1}' | xargs -I {} cp {} ./

Then put your config.json into the bin directory, double click pegas.exe and it will work.
