gettext-iconv-windows
gettext and iconv binaries for Windows.
Ready-to-use binaries
If you don't want to waste your time or if you don't know much about compiling and virtual machines,
see mlocati.github.io/articles/gettext-iconv-windows.html.
Do you want to build binaries on your own?
Compilation
I used Ubuntu 16.04 LTS under VirtualBox).
Get the compile-iconv-gettext-windows.sh and the patches directory (they must reside in the same directory).
Run the compile-iconv-gettext-windows.sh script to build the Windows binary files.
Creating the setup files
I used a Windows machine (a physical Windows 10 64 bit) with Inno Setup (I used version 5.5.9-unicode).
Steps to compile (to be done under Linux):
- Run the
compile-iconv-gettext-windows.shscript (thepatchesdirectory must be in the same directory as this script) - following the instructions of the script you'll able to build the Windows executables
Steps to generate the setup files (to be done under Windows):
If you want to build a setup to install these executables and automatically add them to the environmental path:
- take a copy of the full repository gettext-iconv-windows
- under the folder containing the repository content, create a folder
compiledand copy under that directory theout-…folder that you have under Linux - launch the
build-setup.vbsscript
