And extract them +into your MinGW directory. + Instructions for building polipo under mingw32 for Windows: 1) Copy Makefile.mingw over Makefile. 2) Run 'make'. You should have a polipo.exe in the current directory. +------------------------------------------- +Creating an installation package in Windows +------------------------------------------- + If you want to build an installer using the Nullsoft Installer, install the NSI Compiler. In Windows Explorer, navigate to the directory in which you placed polipo-mingw.nsi. Right click on polipo-mingw.nsi and choose Compile NSIS Script. You'll then create a polipo installer. -Instructions for building a polipo universal binary package under OSX Tiger: +The Polipo NSI installer assumes libgnurx-0.dll is in the same directory as polipo.exe. +You'll need to copy libgnurx-0.dll into "./" in order to make the +installation package. + +--------------------------------------------- +OSX Universal Binary and Installation package +--------------------------------------------- 1) Copy Makefile.osx over Makefile. 2) Run 'make'. 3) Copy the contents of this directory into a directory named "contrib". |
