jabberd2 for win32 ------------------ As of 2.0s7, there are patches and VisualStudio projedt files at http://j2.openaether.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36 thanks to Peter Hinz As of 2.0s3, jabberd2 includes HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL support for win32 platforms. Note that DNS resolution APIs did not appear until Windows 2000, so this won't work on Windows 95/98/ME/NT. You'll need MinGW and MSys installed to get this going, available here: http://www.mingw.org/ At the time of writing, the latest MinGW is 3.1.0-1. If you get this version, you'll need to also get w32api 2.5 (to get the aforementioned DNS resolution APIs). Later versions of MinGW should include these. Once all this kit is up and running, its business as usual: % ./configure % make % make install Note that you'll still need the various external packages (eg MySQL dev packages) available in order to build a working server. Getting these up and running under MinGW is outside the scope of this short guide. NOTE WELL: this is not supported by the jabberd project team. If you have problems, you're welcome to post to jabberd@jabberstudio.org, but thats all. If you file a bug that can't be reproduced under Unix, then the bug will be assumed not to exist. If anyone would like to step up to maintain the port properly, please contact me. Huge thanks go out Peter Hinz for the original port. I've cannibalised it pretty seriously, but I wouldn't have had a chance if I hadn't seen his code. -- Robert Norris , 2004-04-15.
