## Instructions for building Tor with MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/)
##

Stage One:  Download and Install MinGW.
---------------------------------------

Download mingw:
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-5.0.3.exe?download

Download msys:
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MSYS-1.0.10.exe?download

Download the mingw developer tool kit:
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/msysDTK-1.0.1.exe?download

Install mingw, msys and mingw-dtk.

Create a directory called "tor-mingw".

Stage Two:  Download, extract, compile openssl
----------------------------------------------

Download openssl:
http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8d.tar.gz

Extract openssl:
Copy the openssl tarball into the "tor-mingw" directory.
Type "cd tor-mingw/"
Type "tar zxf openssl-0.9.8d.tar.gz"

Make openssl libraries:
Type "cd tor-mingw/openssl-0.9.8d/"
Type "./Configure mingw"
Edit Makefile and remove the "test:" and "tests:" sections.
Type "rm -rf ./test"
Type "cd crypto/"
Type "find ./ -name "*.h" -exec cp {} ../include/openssl/ \;"
Type "cd ../ssl/"
Type "find ./ -name "*.h" -exec cp {} ../include/openssl/ \;
Type "cd .."
Type "cp *.h include/openssl/"
# The next steps can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
Type "make"
Type "make install"

Alternatively:
Download the pre-compiled openssl for win32.
Install and proceed.


Stage Three:  Download, extract, compile zlib
---------------------------------------------

Download zlib source:
http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz

Extract zlib:
Copy the zlib tarball into the "tor-mingw" directory
Type "cd tor-mingw/"
Type "tar zxf zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz"

CHOICE:

Make zlib.a:
Type "cd tor-mingw/zlib-1.2.3/"
Type "./configure"
Type "make"
Type "make install"

OR 

Make zlib1.dll:
Type "cd tor-mingw/zlib-1.2.3/"
Type "./configure"
Type "make -f win32/Makefile.gcc"

Done.


Stage Four: Download, extract, and patch libevent-1.1b.
------------------------------------------------------

Download libevent-1.1b:
http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/

Copy the libevent tarball into the "tor-mingw" directory.
Type "cd tor-mingw"

Extract libevent: 
Type "tar zxf libevent-1.1b.tar.gz"

Download the libevent-1.1b-mingw.diff from 
http://cvs.seul.org/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/tor/trunk/Win32Build/mingw/libevent-1.1b-mingw.diff?rev=8456&root=tor&view=log
Copy the libevent-1.1b diff into the libevent-1.1b directory.
Type "patch -p0 < libevent-1.1b-mingw.diff"

Type "aclocal && autoheader && automake && autoconf".
There may be WARNING messages.  There will be no output if all runs successfuly.

Type "./configure --enable-static --disable-shared"
Type "make"
Type "make install"

Stage Five:  Build Tor
----------------------

Download the current Tor alpha release from http://tor.eff.org/download.html.
Copy the Tor tarball into the "tor-mingw" directory.
Extract Tor:
Type "tar zxf latest-tor-alpha.tar.gz"

cd tor-<version>
Type "./configure --enable-static --disable-shared"
Type "make"

You now have a tor.exe in src/or/.  This is Tor.
You now have a tor_resolve.exe in src/tools/.
