Clang setup

For Windows: Execute Cmake twice (once for each target compiler (32 and 64 bit)). Set the respective build path to ${CLANG_DIR}/build_win32 or ${CLANG_DIR}/build_win64

Boost setup

For Windows: Build the Boost libs for 32 and 64 bit. Create the subdirectories ${BOOST_159_DIR}/win32 and ${BOOST_159_DIR}/win64 and copy the ${BOOST_159_DIR}/boost folder into each of those platform specific directories. Also move the platform specific libs into the respective ( ${BOOST_159_DIR}/win32/lib and ${BOOST_159_DIR}/win64/lib) folder.

Botan setup

For Windows

Extract the contents of your Botan package into "${BOTAN_DIR}/win32". Duplicate that folder and rename it "win64".

Build 32 bit debug lib in ${BOTAN_DIR}/win32/debug $ python configure.py --cc=msvc --cpu=x86_32 --disable-shared --no-optimizations --with-debug-info

Build 32 bit release lib in ${BOTAN_DIR}/win32/release $ python configure.py --cc=msvc --cpu=x86_32 --disable-shared

To build the 64 bit lib start the VS command prompt with the "amd64" argument as described here:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x4d2c09s.aspx

Build 64 bit debug lib in ${BOTAN_DIR}/win64/debug $ python configure.py --cc=msvc --cpu=x86_64 --disable-shared --no-optimizations --with-debug-info

Build 64 bit release lib in ${BOTAN_DIR}/win64/release $ python configure.py --cc=msvc --cpu=x86_64 --disable-shared

For MacOS and Linux

Build release lib in ${BOTAN_DIR}/release Build debug lib in ${BOTAN_DIR}/debug

for Mac: $ python configure.py --disable-shared --disable-modules=darwin_secrandom

for Linux: $ python configure.py --disable-shared

Settings

Run setup script: $ ./script/setup.sh

Release

App

create release build
make sure it uses the Coati icon
obfuscate the executable using upx

Data folder

put data folder in working directory
add empty log folder
add working tictactoe.xml project to /projects/tictactoe with sources in /projects/tictactoe/src
add empty app settings with one recent project tictactoe.xml
leave window_settings.ini with correct Coati start layout

Package

add app
add web/coati_manual.pdf to package

Updating Clang on UNIX

$ cd .../clang_llvm

$ cd llvm $ git pull origin master

$ cd tools/clang $ git pull origin master
