-= Building Recoll on Windows
-
-The port of Recoll to Windows was begun using Microsoft VS 2015, and
-there are functional project files for recollindex and recollq in this
-directory.
-
-However, no version of Qt supporting VS 2015 was available when needed
-(10-2015), so that the port was completed using the MinGW version of Qt.
-
-At this point it is easiest to use MinGW for everything.
-
-Both the GUI and the non-GUI parts (library, recollindex, recollq) are
-built using Qt qmake/qcreator projects:
-
-  windows/qmkrecoll/librecoll.pro
-  windows/qmkrecoll/recollq.pro
-  windows/qmkrecoll/recollindex.pro
-  qtgui/recoll.pro
-
-Only the names of the intermediary files (xapian and recoll libs) should
-need adjustment in the project files. Just open librecoll.pro in qtcreator,
-build it, see where it puts the lib, and adjust the other files.
-
-== Walkthrough
-
-Here follows a tentative recipee for building recoll on windows 7. This was
-reconstructed after actually doing it, and not tried again on a pristine
-system, so there may be things missing
-
- - Install Qt 5.x, use the MinGW binary version
-
- - Install the current version of MinGW, possibly check compatibility with
-   the one which comes with Qt (versions not too far away). The reason for
-   doing this is that the Qt copy does not come with msys, which is
-   convenient for working with non-qmake projects (zlib and Xapian).
-
- - Start a command window with the appropriate MinGW/Msys environment (use
-   MinGW/msys/x.x/msys.bat). All the following is done from the msys window
-   (so that commands like tar etc. are available). Except for the
-   qt-creator parts of course.
-
- - Extract zlib (use a tar distrib and msys tar).
- - From the top of the extracted zlib tree, as from instructions inside
-   Makefile.gcc: 
-        make -fwin32/Makefile.gcc
-        make test testdll -fwin32/Makefile.gcc
-
- - Extract xapian
- - Configure with:
-     LDFLAGS=-Lc:/recolldeps/zlib-1.2.8 \
-     CPPFLAGS=-Ic:/recolldeps/zlib-1.2.8 \
-     ./configure
-    (Change according to where you built zlib, of course).
- - make
- - This will produce .libs/libxapian-22.dll which I just used in the recoll
-   .pro files and also copied into the install bin directory.
-
- - Then update the .pro files with the Xapian location (includes and lib)
- - Build librecoll.pro
- - Update the other project files with the librecoll location
- - Build them
- - Update the windows/mkinstdir.sh with the actual locations of the libs etc.
-
-Curiously, there does not seem to be a need to copy zlib1.dll to the
-install dir ???
-
-Then build unrtf and antiword (or get them from somewhere...). Update, then
-finally run mkinstdir.sh
-
-You should have a working recoll installation.
