Compiling Wesnoth on Windows - pangocairo

[Brilliand]

I've been able to compile older version of Wesnoth, and I've even gotten the Boost library linked in fine, but this pangocairo thing threw me. I've tried downloading it, but the mixture that I ended up with still seems to have parts (that is, header files) missing; I still haven't gotten to the point of finding out if it generates any link errors. Would someone please help me with obtaining a copy of pangocairo that I can use to compile Wesnoth?

Well have you tried following one of the guides ? You can choose among MinGw+CodeBlocks, MSVC and MSVC+cmake. You don't need to set up the dependencies yourself, you can just use the according lib packages.
Since MSVC+cmake is partly broken atm I'd recommend CodeBlocks. I got pango and cairo stuff from here: http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php

just follow projectfiles/CodeBlocks/README.txt

My MinGW+Jam setup started giving me errors about "pthread.h" when I got pangocairo installed properly (maybe because smashing together all of the source files in the directory is no longer sufficient?), so I've switched over to CodeBlocks. I am now getting the following errors:

A quick search on the Internet suggested that I might need an older version of GCC (before 4.4 - I'm using 4.5.2). I'm setting up 4.3.5 right now (compiling from source), but it would help if I knew which version the libraries linked to by the readme in the codeblocks project folder were compiled with.

$ gcc --version

In the cygwin bash shell I used to compile the boost libraries. I don't know why the compiler is so old, there's no newer one in the repository I used to install. It worked and I'm basically happy with anything that does. The compiler to compile wesnoth itsself then is however:

gcc (tdm-1) 4.5.2

You may just as well compile the boost .a files yourself: ./bootstrap.sh; ./bjam --with-program-options (for instance)

I know for sure that the guide works since Exasperation followed it successfully lately.

Ah, my fault for thinking that TDM was just another MinGW distro, and hence any MinGW 4.5.2 would be just as good. Apparently tdm-gcc 4.5.2 includes sjlj support, which mainline gcc removed in 4.4. After switching to TDM-GCC, and installing OpenMP support, Wesnoth successfully compiled, albeit with warnings. Thank you for your help.
