5 The document now provides a step by step procedure that takes the user
6 from a basic Windows 2000/XP workstation to an OpenAFS development
7 environment. Details are provided so that a 'beginning' windows
8 developer can build an OpenAFS installable package for Windows 2000/XP/2003.
11 As of the OpenAFS 1.3 release series, Windows platforms released
12 prior to Windows 2000 are not being supported. The InstallShield
13 installer is still in the source tree but is no longer supported.
14 A new open source installer based on NSIS 2.0 replaces it.
16 *********** Windows 2000/XP/2003 Build Process ****************
18 Building OpenAFS for Windows requires configuring a Windows
19 development system by installing compilation tools and header files.
20 Open AFS Software development can be done on Windows 2000 or XP. The
21 target system, where OpenAFS will be installed, should be either
22 Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 2003. The building process is
23 controlled by a nmake file that generates the necessary binaries and
24 binds them into an install package.
26 The following steps describe how to configure Windows 2000/XP:
28 A. Obtain a copy of the OpenAFS Source Tree
29 B. Install Compiler and Development tools.
30 C. Install SDK header files
31 D. Configure NTBUILD.BAT
32 E. Set program version Level
33 F. Build Win2000 binaries
35 H. Build NSIS Install Package
37 J. Build Wix MSI Install Package
41 The Microsoft development tools require anywhere from 660 MB to 1.8GB
42 of storage depending on which compilers are selected. The following
43 versions are supported:
45 Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
47 Microsoft Visual .NET 2003 (recommended)
49 Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows XP SP2
50 [Core and Data Access SDKs are required]
52 The NSIS installer requires about 14 MB of storage. The following
55 Nullsoft Scriptable Installation System 2.0
57 The InstallShield scripts (although not supported) require version 5.5
58 of InstallShiled. Version 6.0 or higher of InstallShield are not
61 The OpenAFS Source directory requires about 360 MB storage. The Source
62 directory size includes additional space for files that will be
63 generated during the build process.
66 STEP A. Obtain a copy of the Open AFS Source Tree.
68 Transfer OpenAFS source tree onto your hardrive. The source can be
69 downloaded from the OpenAFS web site:
70 http://www.OpenAFS.org/release/snapindex.html.
72 For this example, download source for version 1.3.60 using the
74 http://www.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.3.60/openafs-1.3.60-src.tar
76 HINT: DailySnapShots are pre-release source trees and much more
77 likely to have compilation errors. If this is your first attempt, do
78 your build based on a release version of the source, e.g. 1.3.60. Once
79 you have completed a build process successfully, you can experiment with
82 You will need an unzip utility that can expand compressed tar files.
83 For example "Pkzip for Windows" from Pkware will uncompress tar files.
84 (http://www.pkware.com/)
86 Expand the downloaded tar file (openafs-1.3.60-src.tar) into target
87 directory (c:\OpenAFS), the unzip routine will expand the source into a
89 c:\OpenAFS\OpenAFS-1.3.60\src
91 Copy the files 'NTMakefile' and 'ntbuild.bat' from 'src' to the OpenAFS
94 From a DOS command prompt window, enter the following copy commands:
96 copy c:\OpenAFS\OpenAFS-1.3.60\src\NTMakefile c:\OpenAFS\OpenAFS-1.3.60\.
97 copy c:\OpenAFS\OpenAFS-1.3.60\src\ntbuild.bat c:\OpenAFS\OpenAFS-1.3.60\.
100 The AFS base directory should look something like the following:
102 c:\OpenAFS\OpenAFS-1.3.60\
108 STEP B. Install compiler and development tools.
110 Install a copy of Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, Visual .NET, or Visual .NET 2003.
111 The "Typical" install setting is sufficient.
113 (1) You can reduce the installation size by selecting "Custom" install
114 and remove all but the following Options:
119 (2) When asked, Select to Register Environment Variables.
122 STEP C. Install SDK header files.
124 Files from Microsoft's Platform SDK (August 2001 or later) are required to
125 complete a build on Windows 2000 or XP. You can install the "Core SDK"
128 http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/
130 by using Internet Explorer 5.x or higher. (Active X controls are required)
132 The header files that are required are found from a Microsoft SDK are:
134 netspi.h (Windows 9x builds)
135 npapi.h (Windows 2000,XP,2003 builds)
136 netcfgx.h (NSIS Loopback Adapter installer - Windows 2000,XP,2003 builds)
137 netcfgn.h (NSIS Loopback Adapter installer - Windows 2000,XP,2003 builds)
139 These files come from the following Microsoft DDKs/SDKs:
142 Windows XP/2003 Platform SDK - include/
144 netcfgn.h, netcfgx.h:
145 Windows XP/2003 DDK - inc/wxp/
148 July 1998 Windows 95 DDK - net/inc/netmpr.h and net/inc/netspi.h
149 July 1999 Windows 98 DDK - src/net/inc/netmpr.h and src/net/inc/netspi.h
150 - you need to install "Legacy and Related
153 STEP D. Configure NTBUILD.BAT.
155 The NTBUILD.BAT file copied to the OpenAFS base directory must be
156 customized for use on your development system. The following variables
157 must be defined to match your configuration:
159 AFSVER_CL: Set to 1200 if using MS Visual C++ 6.0
160 Set to 1300 if using MS Visual .NET
161 Set to 1310 if using MS Visual .NET 2003
163 MSVCDIR: Set to the short name version of the directory into which
164 the visual C++ compiler was installed regardless of version
166 MSSDKDIR: Set to the short name of the directory into which
167 the Platform SDK was installed
169 NTDDKDIR: Set the short name of the directory containing the npapi.h file
171 AFSROOT: Set to the short name of the OpenAFS Base directory
174 STEP E. Set version and installation options (optional)
176 Add a CellServDB file to install area. CellServDB contains the entries
177 for the various cell names. You can download a general purpose one
179 http://grand.central.org/dl/cellservdb/CellServDB
180 then copy it to %AFSROOT%\src\WINNT\install\NSIS and name it afsdcell.ini
182 Edit file %AFSROOT%\src\config\NTMakefile.i386_nt40
183 AFSPRODUCT_VER_MAJOR - Version Major Number
184 AFSPRODUCT_VER_MINOR - Version Minor Number
185 AFSPRODUCT_VER_PATCH - Version Patch Number
186 AFSPRODUCT_VER_BUILD - Version Build Number
187 CELLSERVDB_INSTALL - The default file name for the CellServDB
188 included in the install Package.
189 CELLNAME_DEFAULT - The default home cell name.
190 CELLSERVDB_WEB - The default web address to obtain CellServDB
192 For example: in the file %AFSROOT%\src\config\NTMakefile.i386_nt40 you would
195 AFSPRODUCT_VER_MAJOR=1
196 AFSPRODUCT_VER_MINOR=3
197 AFSPRODUCT_VER_PATCH=6000
198 AFSPRODUCT_VER_BUILD=0
199 CELLNAME_DEFAULT=openafs.org
200 CELLSERVDB_INSTALL=CellServDB.GrandCentral
201 CELLSERVDB_WEB=http://grand.central.org/dl/cellservdb/CellServDB
203 During the Open AFS installation process the user will be presented
204 with two choices for the CellServDB: Local copy (CELLSERVDB_INSTALL) and
205 one that can be downloaded from the web (CELLSERVDB_WEB).
207 STEP F. Begin the build
209 (1) From Windows 2000/XP open up a DOS prompt window.
211 (2) Change to the %AFSROOT% directory
213 (3) Configure the environment variables:
217 (a) Execute the VCVARS32.BAT or VSVARS32.BAT file which part of the
218 Visual Studio environment you installed.
220 (b) Execute the SETENV.BAT file with the parameters "/2000 /RETAIL"
222 (c) Execute the NTBUILD.BAT file with the parameter "free"
226 (a) Execute the VCVARS32.BAT or VSVARS32.BAT file which part of the
227 Visual Studio environment you installed.
229 (b) Execute the SETENV.BAT file with the parameters "/2000 /DEBUG"
231 (c) Execute the NTBUILD.BAT file with the parameter "checked"
233 (4) Clean the work area:
235 nmake /f NTMakefile clean
237 (5) Build the complete Windows NT/2000 development environment.
239 nmake /f NTMakefile install
241 While the build is running you will see many compile warnings. This
242 behavior is normal; the build process is successful as long as the build
243 process doesn't terminate with an error ("nmake.exe return code 0x2")
244 and it displays 'Build Finished Successfully'.
247 STEP G. Install NSIS 2.0 (optional).
249 Download the Nullsoft Scriptable Installation System (NSIS) 2.0 from
251 http://nsis.sourceforge.net/home/
253 Run the nsis20.exe installer.
255 NOTE: The NSIS installer may be rebuilt from source files
257 C:\Program Files\NSIS\Source
259 to enable options not built into the default configuration. The
260 OpenAFS installers are built using a modified version of the NSIS
261 sources. The following changes were made to exehead\config.h.
263 NSIS_MAX_STRLEN set to 4096
264 NSIS_CONFIG_LOG defined
265 NSIS_CONFIG_LOG_ODS defined
268 STEP H. Build OpenAFS NSIS install package
270 From the DOS command prompt window run:
272 nmake /f NTMakefile NSIS
275 STEP I. Install Wix MSI Installer
277 Download the Wix 2.0.1727 installer from
279 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wix/sources-2.0.1727.0.zip
281 Apply the following patches to the source tree and execute
285 from the \src\wix directory.

419 STEP J. Build Wix MSI install package
421 From the DOS command prompt window run:
423 nmake /f NTMakefile wix
425 Make sure the binaries installed to \src\wix\release\ship are
426 available in the PATH environment variable
429 STEP K. Final Results
431 The build process generates its binaries in %AFSROOT%\DEST. The subdirectory
432 would look like the following:
434 %AFSROOT%:\DEST\{checked,free}\
443 Bin - contains build utilities.
444 root.client - contains Open AFS binaries
445 root.server - contain Open AFS Server binaries
446 WinInstall\OpenAFSforWindows.exe - is the install package for Open AFS
449 STEP L. Optional Items
451 The build process has an error table that is compiled for many OpenAFS
452 applications. This table is generated by Unix based tools. It is not
453 normally necessary to modify this table so pre-generated source files
454 are included in the OpenAFS source. If you need to make modifications
455 in these areas the Unix base tools that run on Windows can be found on
456 the web. For example:
460 Below is a short explanation how to update the error table.
462 (1) Install flex and bison from a Unix based tool provider.
464 (2) Make changes to the source files.
466 There are two files in the source tree that are processed with lex
467 and yacc on UNIX systems, src/comerr/et_lex.lex.l and
468 src/comerr/error_table.y, that when processed produce the files
469 et_lex.lex_nt.c, error_table_nt.c, and error_table_nt.h.
471 Since NT does not include lex and yacc or any equivalent tools, we
472 have provided the output files that lex and yacc produce (using Win32
473 ports of flex and bison). This will allow builds to work for anyone
474 who does not need to change the .l and .y files.
476 If you do need to change et_lex.lex.l, then you will need to install
477 Win32 port of flex on your system. Put flex.exe in a directory on the
480 If you do need to change error_table.y, then you will need to install
481 a Win32 port of bison on your system. Put bison.exe in a directory on
482 the path, configure bison as explained in step 5, and rebuild.
484 You can also attempt to use other replacements for lex and yacc. This
485 will require modifying the LEX and YACC settings in
486 /config/NTMakefile.i386_nt40. If the replacements require different
487 command line options than flex and bison, then you may also need to
488 change src/comerr/NTMakefile.
490 (3) Generate new OpenAFS binaries
