<h1>Setting SWT windows native build setup</h1>

<h3>Software needed for setting up windows native build</h3>
<ol>
<li><p> Microsoft 'Visual Studio 2008'</p>
<li><p> Microsoft 'Windows Server 2003 SP1 SDK'</p>
<li><p> JDK8 64bit and 32bit (IBM JDK preferred)</p>
<li><p> Webkit SDK version 'r72896' and WebKitSupportLibrary</p>
<li> Cygwin</p>
<p>Note: <b>MSDN developer license</b> is a pre-requisite for Microsoft softwares.</b></p>
</ol>

<h3>Steps to set up Windows native build:</h3>
<ol>
<li>[Optional for local setup] Install and configure Cygwin SSH Server on Windows.
<p> Note: Make sure 'openssh' package is also installed.</p>
<p> For more details on how to configuring SSH refer: <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/install.121/e22624/preinstall_req_cygwin_ssh.htm#CHDJDBIA">link</a></p>

<li>[Optional for local setup] Configure the machine for password-less SSH authentication with the Hudson machine.
<p> For more details you can refer: <a href="http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~xzhang/pubDoc/IT/SSH%20without%20password%20from%20Windows.htm">public guide</a></p>
<p> Sharing some key steps below(which I recall):</p>
<ul>
<li><p> Generate the 'dsa' public/private key from your "swtbuild" account from windows machine.</p>
<li><p> Now login to the Hudson machine with "swtbuild" account.</p>
<li><p> Copy the public keys and register then on the Hudson machine.. this should enable password-less authentication.</p>
</ul>

<li><p> "swt-builddir" can be copied from one of the existing windows build machine, recommended path is C:\BUILD\swt-builddir<p>
<p> This directory contains various libraries like Windows SDKs, Visual Studio libraries, JDK and libraries for compiling Webkit etc.. </p>
<p>or</p>
<p> Create your on 'swt-builddir' with below like directory structure:</p>
<ul>
<li><p> Create directory 'C:\BUILD\swt-builddir'</p>
<li><p> Install Windows Server 2003 SPI SDK in 'C:\BUILD\swt-builddir\MSSDKs\Windows Server 2003 SP1 SDK'</p>
<li><p> Install MS VS2008 in 'C:\BUILD\swt-builddir\MSVCs\Microsoft Visual Studio 8'</p>
<li><p> Install/Unzip Webkit SDK version 'r72896' and WebKitSupportLibrary</p>
<li><p> Install/Unzip IBM(preferred) JDK8 64bit in 'C:\BUILD\swt-builddir\ibm-java-sdk-80-win-x86_64\sdk'</p>
<li><p> Install/Unzip IBM(preferred) JDK8 32bit in 'C:\BUILD\swt-builddir\ibm-java-sdk-80-win-i386\sdk'</p>
</ul>

<li> <p> For local testing, Run as Ant build below file with 'build_libraries' as target(assuming <a href="git.php">SWT setup</a> is in place):</p>
<p>${workspace_loc:/org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64/build.xml}</p>
<p> For building windows native build for 32bit, you need to convert the source to 32bit first, by running 'replace.64.to.32' target</p>
<p> Once sources are converted to 32bit you can run the 'build_libraries' target for ${workspace_loc:/org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86/build.xml}</p>
<li>[Optional for local setup] Now you can point the Windows hudson job to this machine and trigger a native build.
<p> Note: For testing purpose from hudson, temporarily turn the nativeChanges flag to 'true' to force a native build compilation.</p>
</ol>
