Building Miranda

Note
The following was tested in Windows 10 and newer.

• Obtain Miranda NG sources
• Install Visual Studio 2017/2019/2022
• Bare minimum Visual Studio 2017 components:
  • Static analysis tools
  • Text Template Transformation
  • C# and Visual Basic Roslyn compilers
  • MSBuild
  • VC++ 2017 version 15.9 v14.16 latest v141 tools
  • Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable Update
  • Windows Universal CRT SDK
  • Windows XP support for C++
  • Windows 8.1 SDK (only for Toaster plugin)
  • Visual Studio C++ core features
• Open tdlib.sln solution (located at /bin15 subdirectory for Visual Studio 2017, /bin16 subdirectory for Visual Studio 2019 or /bin17 subdirectory for Visual Studio 2022) and build it if you want to build and use Telegram protocol.
• Open mir_full.sln solution (located at /bin15 subdirectory for Visual Studio 2017, /bin16 subdirectory for Visual Studio 2019 or /bin17 subdirectory for Visual Studio 2022) and build all solution (F7) or particular plugins (in this case build mir_core first).

Important
For Visual Studio 2017 you need to add following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment]
"DoBundleInstallationChecks"="false"

You need FreePascal to build plugins written in Pascal (Actman, mRadio, Watrack), except History++ which requires RAD Studio XE2.

You need Perl and NASM to build OpenSSL:

cd /d "Path\to\OpenSSL\sources"
git apply "\tools\openssl\openssl-mir-changes.patch"
perl "Path\to\OpenSSL\sources\Configure" shared VC-WIN64A
nmake
