Aria2 Win32 (MinGW) port
Ross Smith (http://smithii.com)
21-Sep-09

Note: an older version of aria2 is also available via Cygwin's standard setup program.

Version used:
    aria2-1.6.0

MinGW (Windows):
    MinGW 5.1.3 / gcc 4.3.0 (GCC TDM-3 for MinGW)
    MSYS 1.2.0
    C-Ares 1.6.0
    LibXML 2.7.3
    OpenSSL 0.9.8h (I'm unable to compile 0.9.8k at the moment)
    SQLite3 3.6.16
	Zlib 1.2.3

1. Install ActivePerl

> wget http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.10/ActivePerl-5.10.0.1004-MSWin32-x86-287188.msi
> msiexec /i ActivePerl-5.10.0.1004-MSWin32-x86-287188.msi

2. Install Cygwin

> wget http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
> cacls setup.exe /C /E /G "%USERNAME%":F
> setup.exe
(install gcc* + auto* + sftp packages)

3. Install MingGW

> wget http://smithii.com/files/get_mingw.cmd
> cacls setup.exe /C /E /G "%USERNAME%":F
> get_mingw.cmd

4. Build OpenSSL for MinGW using Cygwin:
   (I'm currently not able to build OpenSSL in MinGW)

> path=c:\cygwin\bin;%path%
> c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/openssl-mingw.mak
$ make -f openssl-mingw.mak
$ make -f openssl-mingw.mak install
$ cp -prv /usr/local/ssl/* /c/msys/1.0/local
$ exit

5. Build C-Ares/CppUnit/LibXML/SQLite3 and Aria2 in MinGW:

> path=c:\perl\bin;c:\msys\1.0\bin;c:\mingw\bin;%path%
> c:\msys\1.0\bin\sh --login -i
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/c-ares.mak
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/cppunit.mak
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/libxml2.mak
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/sqlite3.mak
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/zlib.mak
$ make -f c-ares.mak
$ make -f c-ares.mak install
$ make -f cppunit.mak 
$ make -f cppunit.mak install
$ make -f libxml2.mak 
$ make -f libxml2.mak install
$ make -f sqlite3.mak
$ make -f sqlite3.mak install
$ make -f zlib.mak
$ make -f zlib.mak install
$ make -f aria2.mak
$ pushd aria2-1.5.2/src
$ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:$PATH
$ # aria2c.exe needs /usr/local/bin/libxml2-2.dll and /mingw/bin/pthreadGC2.dll
$ ./aria2c.exe --version
$ popd

6. Build and run unit tests (optional):

$ make -f aria2.mak test
$ pushd aria2-1.5.2/test
$ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/mingw/bin:$PATH
$ # aria2c.exe needs /usr/local/bin/libxml2-2.dll and /mingw/bin/pthreadGC2.dll
$ ./aria2c.exe
$ popd
$ exit

7. Build the distribution (e.g., aria2-1.5.2-win32-mingw.zip) (optional):

7a. Install GetGnuWin32 (needed for zip command)

> wget http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/getgnuwin32/GetGnuWin32-0.6.21.exe
> cacls setup.exe /C /E /G "%USERNAME%":F
> GetGnuWin32-0.6.21.exe

7b. Execute:

> path=%path%;C:\Progra~1\GnuWin32\bin
> c:\msys\1.0\bin\sh --login -i
$ make -f aria2.mak dist
$ exit

8. Upload to SourgeForge (requires Cygwin's sftp program):

> path=%path%;C:\Progra~1\GnuWin32\bin
> c:\msys\1.0\bin\sh --login -i
$ make -f aria2.mak upload
$ exit

(First build openssl using Windows MinGW described below)

On your Windows box:

c:> cd c:\msys\local\lib
c:> scp -p \
    libtasn1.dll.a \
    libtasn1.la \
    libtasn1.a \
    libz.a \
    libssl32.a \
    libeay32.a \
    libssl.a \
    libcrypto.a \
    root@debianbox:/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib
c:> cd c:\msys\local\include
c:> scp -pr openssl root@debianbox:/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include

On your debian box:

$ wget http://smithii.com/files/c-ares.mak
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/cppunit.mak
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/libxml2.mak
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/aria2.mak
$ make -f c-ares.mak install

$ make -f aria2.mak test

On your Windows box:

c:> pushd \\debianbox\home\ross\src\aria2-0.13.0\test
z:> aria2c.exe
z:> popd

To build Aria2 in Cygwin:

Using Cygwin's setup.exe installer, install the following packages:

    1.  cppunit
    2.  libgnutls-devel
    3.  libxml2-devel
    4.  openssl-devel

> c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/c-ares.mak
$ wget http://smithii.com/files/aria2.mak
$ make -f c-ares.mak install
$ make -f aria2.mak
$ make -f aria2.mak test
$ pushd aria2-0.11.4/test
$ ./aria2c.exe
$ popd

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.11.4 test suite results:

For MingW, All unit tests passed!

For Cygwin:

I haven't compiled 0.11.4 using Cygwin.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.11.3 test suite results:

For MingW, All unit tests passed!

For Cygwin:

I haven't compiled 0.11.3 using Cygwin.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 0.11.2 test suite results:

For MingW, All unit tests passed!

For Cygwin:

For Cygwin, the test suite immediately stackdumps. 
I haven't had time to research this yet.
This most likely is due to Cygwin using gcc 3.4.4.
Once Cygwin upgrades gcc to version 4.2 or higher,
this problem may fix itself.

Version 0.11.1+1 test suite results:

For Cygwin, the test suite immediately stackdumps. I haven't

FAIL: aria2c

==============================

I researched the ByteArrayDiskWriterTest errors, and the problem 
appears to be in the stringstream STL class in MinGW. For example:

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
  stringstream ss (stringstream::in | stringstream::out);
  string msg1 = "line1\nline2";
  char buf[100];
  int c;
  memset(buf, '\0', sizeof(buf));
  cout << "msg1=" << msg1 << endl;
  ss.seekg(0, ios_base::beg);
  ss.write(msg1.c_str(), msg1.size());
  cout << "ss.str()=" << ss.str() << endl;
  ss.seekg(0, ios_base::beg);
  cout << "ss.str()=" << ss.str() << endl;
  ss.read(buf, msg1.size());
  c = ss.gcount();
  cout << "c=" << c << endl;
  cout << "ss.str()=" << ss.str() << endl;
  ss.clear();
  cout << "ss.str()=" << ss.str() << endl;
  buf[c] = '\0';
  cout << "buf =" << buf << endl;
  memset(buf, '\0', sizeof(buf));
  ss.read(buf, sizeof(buf));
  c = ss.gcount();
  cout << "c=" << c << endl;
  ss.clear();
  buf[c] = '\0';
  cout << "buf =" << buf << endl;
}

The above program outputs correctly in Linux, Cygwin,
and with the executable compiled using the Debian MinGW
cross compiler.

msg1=line1
line2
ss.str()=line1
line2
ss.str()=line1
line2
c=11
ss.str()=line1
line2
ss.str()=line1
line2
buf =line1
line2
c=0
buf =

but fails in MinGW:

msg1=line1
line2
ss.str()=
ss.str()=
c=0
ss.str()=
ss.str()=
buf =
c=0
buf =
