tomwalters@326: Windows build instructions tested on Windows XP. If you know about building on Windows 7 or other platforms, please add the details here.

tomwalters@326: Install [http://www.python.org/download/ Python 2.7] (default options)
tomwalters@326: 
tomwalters@326: Install [http://www.scons.org/download.php SCons 2.0.0.final.0]
tomwalters@326:

tomwalters@327: Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables->System Variables>PATH->Edit->Add ';C:\Python27\Scripts' (sans quotes) to the end of the line
tomwalters@326: 
tomwalters@326: Install subversion
tomwalters@327: 
tomwalters@327: There's a  [http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#windows list of various subversion packages for Windows here], I used [http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download SilkSVN].
tomwalters@326: 
tomwalters@326: Install [http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/#Download libsndfile]
tomwalters@326: 
tomwalters@326: Download and install [http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/#2010-Visual-CPP MS Visual C++ Express 2010]
tomwalters@327: 
tomwalters@327: The defaults should be fine for installing just VC++ 2010
tomwalters@326: 
tom@428: To build the video output for AIM-C, you'll need to install the Cairo development libraries and a few other support files. According to the page at http://cairographics.org/download/ you need the cairo dev library and the runtime libraries for libpng, freetype, fontconfig, expat and Zlib from [http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html the GTK Windows downloads page]. Unzip all these  into a directory somewhere (I used C:\Program Files\cairo\) and set the windows_cairo_libraries variable at the top of the SConstruct file to the correct path.
tom@426: 
tom@426: To use the noise generator module in AIM-C, you need to install the boost random library.
tom@426: To do this download the boost package for your visual studio version from [http://www.boostpro.com/download/ boostpro.com] and install at least the 'random' package.
tom@426: (If you don't need this module, you can remove ModuleNoise.cc from the list of modules in the SConstruct file and then you don't need boost at all).
tom@426: 
tom@426: 
tom@428: Then, to build:
tom@428: Open (Visual Studio) Command Prompt

tomwalters@333: 
tomwalters@333: For all versions of MSVC, you may also need to add the line
tomwalters@333:  ld_args.append('/MANIFEST')
tomwalters@333: just after the line
tomwalters@333:   ld_args.append('/MANIFESTFILE:' + temp_manifest)
