Building Money Manager Ex from sources

Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit

Prerequisites

  1. Install free Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017. Select following components during install:

    • Windows: Desktop development with C++
      • Visual Studio Core Editor
      • Desktop development with C++ options
        • VC++ 2017 v141 toolset (x86,x64)
        • Windows 10 SDK (10.0.x.x) for Desktop C++ x86 and x64
        • Visual C++ tools for CMake

  2. Download and install gettext pre-compiled binaries with default options.

  3. Download wxWidgets 3.x binaries:

    • wxWidgets-3.*.*_Headers.7z
    • one of wxMSW-3.*.*-vc141_Dev.7z or wxMSW-3.*.*-vc141_x64_Dev.7z
    • one of wxMSW-3.*.*-vc141_ReleaseDLL.7z or wxMSW-3.*.*-vc141_x64_ReleaseDLL.7z Unpack archives to c:\wxWidgets\. then wxwin environment variable must be set: setx wxwin c:\wxWidgets\

  4. Start the following command from start menu: %comspec% /k "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64

  5. Clone MMEX official Git repository with submodules using command-line:

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/moneymanagerex/moneymanagerex c:\Dev\

  6. Download sources of curl, ver. 7.71.1 unpack them to c:\libcurl and build libcurl library with following commands:

    mkdir c:\libcurl\build
cd c:\libcurl\build
set "PATH=%PATH%;%DevEnvDir%CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\CMake\bin"
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DBUILD_CURL_EXE=OFF -DHTTP_ONLY=ON ^
-DENABLE_MANUAL=OFF -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DCURL_STATICLIB=ON ^
-DCMAKE_USE_WINSSL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\libcurl ..
set "CL=/MP"
cmake --build . --target install --config Release --clean-first ^
  -- /maxcpucount /verbosity:minimal /nologo /p:PreferredToolArchitecture=x64

    Visual Studio GUI with project file

    1. Generate build environment using CMake

      cd c:\dev\moneymanagerex\build
(set DevEnvDir=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\)
set "PATH=%PATH%;%DevEnvDir%CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\CMake\bin"
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:\libcurl ^
-DCURL_LIBRARY=c:\libcurl -DCURL_INCLUDE_DIR=c:\libcurl ..

    This produce c:\Dev\moneymanagerex\build\MMEX.sln file ready to be loaded into Visual Studio GUI.

    1. Open above solution file with File->Open->Project/Solution... menu command (or Ctrl+Shift+O).

    2. Run Build->Build Solution menu command (or Ctrl+Shift+B). This will compile MMEX and propagate support files into right directories.

    3. Now you can run MMEX with Debug->Start Without Debugging menu command (Ctrl+F5) or start debugging session with Debug->Start Debugging (F5).

  7. To create binary package (you need to have NSIS installed for this) build PACKAGE project.
