mg can be built in Linux or Windows. In both cases you can use gyp to build mg. In linux you can also use autotools for building. For building mg in linux you need at least gcc 5 or later version since mg uses c++ 11.

First of all you need to get the code cloning mg and all sub-modules.

execute git clone --recursive https://github.com/mediagoom/mg.git to get all or execute git clone https://github.com/mediagoom/mg.git and then git submodule update --init --recursive.

If you are in windows the following instruction will assume you are using powershell as your shell. First check gyp is available. In windows type `get-command gyp' and in bash 'which gyp'. If gyp is not available you have to install it. TODO: point to gyp installation info.

Change folder to cd ./mg/test.

In linux in the mg/test folder run :

gyp mgtest.gyp --depth=. -Duv_library=static_library "-Dtarget_arch=x64" -I../deps/libuv/common.gypi

If gyp finish without error run:

make

When make end you could run some validation test with:

env srcdir="$(pwd)" out/Release/mgtest

In window in the mg\test folder run :

gyp mgtest.gyp --depth 0 -Duv_library=static_library "-Dtarget_arch=ia32" -I../deps/libuv/common.gypi`
#then
msbuild /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=Win32

When msbuild finish you could run some validation test with: .\mgtest.ps1

In window in the mg\test folder run :

gyp mgtest.gyp --depth 0 -Duv_library=static_library "-Dtarget_arch=x64" -I../deps/libuv/common.gypi`
#then
msbuild /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64

When msbuild finish you could run some validation test with: .\mgtest.ps1

First of all build libuv:

cd deps/libuv/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
make install

Then build AES:

cd deps/AES/
./configure
make
sudo make install

Then build flavor:

cd deps/flavor/
./configure
make
sudo make install

Finally you can build mg:

./bootstrap
./configure
make
make check
