===== Development on Windows =====
**NOTE: It is now strongly recommended that you use Docker images to build Deviation.  Instructions for building can be found [[development:docker | here]]**

''Note, these instructions may be out of date.  Please help to make them current''
==== Install MinGW ====
  * [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20120426/mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe/download|Download the MinGW installer]]
  * Run the installer, and select 'C++', 'MSYS' and the 'Developer Toolkit'

==== Install FLTK ====
  * [[http://www.fltk.org/software.php?VERSION=1.3.0&FILE=fltk/1.3.0/fltk-1.3.0-source.tar.gz|Download FLTK]]
  * Start msys (you should have an icon, but otherwise run C:\MingW\msys\1.0\msys.bat
  * mkdir src
  * cd src
  * Untar fltk: tar -xzf <path to fltk download> (you can get to your C: drive in mingw using /c/Users/<user>/Downloads for example)
  * cd fltk-1.3.0
  * ./configure
  * make
  * make install

==== Install PortAudio ====
  * [[http://www.portaudio.com/archives/pa_stable_v19_20111121.tgz|Download PortAudio]]
  * Start msys (you should have an icon, but otherwise run C:\MingW\msys\1.0\msys.bat
  * cd src

  * cd portaudio
  * ./configure
  * make
  * make install

==== Install Deviation ====
  * Download the source code for deviation. You'll need mercurial to keep track of changes (which will require installing python), but you can manually download a zip of the source from the [[https://github.com/DeviationTX/deviation|GitHub deviation repository]]
  * cd ~/src
  * cp -pf <path to deviation src code> deviation
  * cd deviation/src
  * make TARGET=emu_devo8 WINDOWS=1


==== Running Emulator ====
If everything goes well, you can now do: ''./emu_devo8.exe''

==== MSYS notes ====
Your 'home' dir will be at C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\<user>
