Additions:
1) The build process is managed by CMake∞. You'll need version 2.6.0 or higher of CMake.
Deletions:
1) The build process is managed by CMake∞. You'll need a current version of CMake from their development tree. I'm using currently 2.5.20080131with success. As the development versions come without an installer and I didn't want to figure out how to install CMake, I took a two step approach. Download version 2.4.6 and run the installer. After this is complete, replace the created subdirectores in the CMake directory (bin, doc,...) with the contents of the 2.5 zip file.

Additions:
1) If you want to access the most recent source code or want to contribute code to the project, you'll need WinCVS∞
- A good description for the installation of WinCVS∞ provided by the Sourceforge Team is WinCvs with PuTTY∞

Additions:
Required Microsoft Tools
Standard Open Source Tools
- For building XTrackCAD a Unix tool called sed is needed. Go to GNU Win32 Packages∞ and get the 'Setup'
Getting the source and building
- The build process is managed by CMake∞. You'll need a current version of CMake from their development tree. I'm using currently 2.5.20080131with success.

After this is complete, replace the created subdirectores in the CMake directory (bin, doc,...) with the contents of the 2.5 zip file.
- Run as described in CMakeBuild
Preparing for installation
Deletions:
1) So this is the first product. Next you'll need a few more tools from the Internet. Look out for updates!

Edited on 2008-02-04 12:07:13 by MartinFischer [Added info on gettext and sed]
Additions:
1) Installing sed and gettext is a straight forward process. Just follow the instructions of the Setup programs. You probably won't need the souce code for either of the packages. It does make sense to install the documentation for gettext if you're interested in helping translate the program. While working on XTrackCAD you'll probably never need the sed documentation.

Additions:
1) As an additional tool the HTML Help Workshop∞ is needed. Get the htmlhelp.exe and the HelpDocs.zip file.
Installation packages are built with NSIS∞. This is not required but will be helpful if you want to distribute XTrackCAD to other PCs.

This is not a step by step guide. Instead it is meant to provide links to all the sites and downloadables you need if you want to use a Windows system for assisting in XTrackCAD development.
I started this page when I bought a new computer. So this description will follow the steps I take when setting up that system and will be extended as I make progress. I started from a bare Windows XP system with only the operating system and the virus protection installed.
