===SVN snapshots compilation===
To build SIM you should have automake-1.5 and autoconf-2.53, however, autoconf 2.13 works too, you just need to hack admin/cvs.sh to turn off "exit 1" on version check. Note that you will be unable to compile icq plugin without SSL support.

====Requirements====
*[http://www.zlib.net/ zlib ]
*[http://xmlsoft.org/ libxml2 ]
*[http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ libxslt ]
*[http://www.openssl.org/ OpenSSL ]
*[http://www.perl.org/ Perl ]
*[http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/Zip.html#Win32 zip]
*[http://www.monmouth.com/~wstreett/lex-yacc/lex-yacc.html flex]
*[http://www.trolltech.com QT]
*[http://www.kde.org KDE] - optional
*[http://aspell.net/ aspell] - Optional, for spellchecker plugin

====Compilation====
* make -f admin/Makefile.common 
* ./configure --prefix=<your_installation_path> 
* make 
* sudo make install 
* Start SIM :-) 

See "./configure --help" for more options, specially for --enable-final and --disable-debug.

To compile plugins you should run:
* cd plugins/<plugin_name>
* make
* sudo make install

----
===MINGW compilation===

====Requirements====
*[http://mingw.org/download.shtml Mingw and Msys]
*[http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtwin Q..3/Windows ]
*[http://www.zlib.net/ zlib ]
*[http://xmlsoft.org/ libxml2 ]
*[http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ libxslt ]
*[http://www.openssl.org/ OpenSSL ]
*[http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/?mp=1 Perl ]
*[http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/Zip.html#Win32 zip]
*[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23617&package_id=16424 flex]
*[http://aspell.net/win32/ aspell] - Optional, for spellchecker plugin

====Toolchain setup====
*Install Mingw. You need to install gcc-core, g++, binutils, w32api, mingw32-make. Add mingw's bin directory to %PATH%
*Install Msys. You need MSYS-1.0.10.exe
*Compile Q..3/Windows. Extract sources somewhere. Then create dirs "include", "include/private" in this folder. Then run configure-mingw.bat. Add Q..3's bin directory to %PATH%
*Compile and install zlib. specify --prefix=/mingw option to ./configure script, then make&&make install.
*Compile and install libxml2. specify --prefix=/mingw option to ./configure script, then make&&make install.
*Compile and install libxslt. specify --prefix=/mingw option to ./configure script, then make&&make install.
*Compile and install OpenSSL. Extract sources, then run "ms\mingw32 no-asm". Then install as specified in INSTALL.W32 file into your Mingw installation dir.
*Install Perl. Add Perl's bin directory to %PATH%
*Install zip. Extract and put zip.exe in some dir in your %PATH%
*Install Flex. Extract and put flex.exe in some dir in your %PATH%.
*Install Aspell. You need this only if you want to compile spell plugin. Download development package for win32 aspell. Then extract include folder into mingw root folder, then put lib\libaspell-15-dll.lib into lib\libaspell.a, lib\libpspell-15-dll.lib into lib\libpspell.la in mingw root folder.

====Compilation and Installation====
*make -f admin/Makefile.common unfortunally doesn't work under Msys. This must be performed under Cygwin or some other *nix environment.
*./configure --disable-kde --enable-win --with-qt-dir=... --with-ssl-dir=...
*make
*make INSTALL=install DESTDIR=/yor/destdir. After this you must manually put sim files in this layout:
/icons 
/pict 
/plugins 
/po 
/sounds 
/styles 
/libsim-0.dll 
/sim.exe 
*Or you can compile [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page NSIS] installer script install_win32\mingw\sim.nsi

----
===Win32-MSVC compilation===

====Requirements====
* TortoiseSVN for getting the Sources
* Visual C++ 2005 Express + Platform SDK Core 2003
*[http://qtwin.sf.net Q/Free (Q../free 3.3.*.*) ]
*[http://www.zlib.net/ zlib ] [1]
*[http://xmlsoft.org/ libxml2 ] [1]
*[http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ libxslt ] [1]
*[http://www.openssl.org/ OpenSSL ] [1]
*[http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/ iconv ] [1] ( [1:] which are already in Project now.)
*[http://java.sun.com Java Runtime (jar.exe) ] for creating the jisp's, add jre\bin or jdk\bin to path
or
*[http://fastjar.sourceforge.net/ fastJar ] for creating the jisp's, %pathToFastJar% to path
*[http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/ Bison ] && [http://flex.sourceforge.net/ Flex ] for lexing the .ll files
*[http://aspell.net/ aspell] - Optional, for spellchecker plugin

====Compilation and Installation====
*Compile Q..3/Windows. Extract sources somewhere. Then create dirs "include", "include/private" in this folder. Then run configure-msvc2005.bat -debug (or without Release). Add Q..3's bin directory to %PATH%
* Build qt3\tools\msg2qm
* Put msg2qm.exe in path for compiling the po-files or simple copy it to %windir%\system32\ .
*Compile and install zlib. specify --prefix=c:/libs option to ./configure script, then make&&make install.
*Compile and install libxml2. specify --prefix=c:/libs option to ./configure script, then make&&make install.
*Compile and install libxslt. specify --prefix=c:/libs option to ./configure script, then make&&make install.
*Compile and install OpenSSL. Extract sources, then run "ms\msvc no-asm". Then install as specified in INSTALL.W32.

* Environment vars (examples) to set:

** QTDIR="C:\qt3"
** QTLIB="qt-mt3.lib"

* Environment vars (examples):
** QTDIR="C:\qt3"
** Path=%Path%;%QTDIR%\bin
** QTLIB="qt-mt3.lib"
** OPENSSL_DIR="c:\openssl"

* Visual C++ Configuration:
** set Executable Directories
*** Java-jdk\bin

** set Include Directories
*** FLEX-2.5.4A-1-BIN\INCLUDE (or newer version)
*** aspell-0.60.2\interfaces\cc

** set Library Directories:
****%QTDIR%\Lib

===compilation with CMake===

====Requirements====
* [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ TortoiseSVN for getting the Sources]
* [http://www.cmake.org/ CMake 2.4.2]
* Qt3 for your platform
* A supported compiler (linux: gcc, win32: MinGW, Visual Studio >= 7)
* LibXML2
* LibXSLT
* Iconv (when you want to compile SIM-IM on win32)
* OpenSSL (optional, required for some plugins)
* ASpell (optional, required for spell plugin)

* Once you've installed all requried packages, make sure you've set the following environment variables correct-
** QTDIR (the path to your Qt3 installation)
** CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH (all paths to the headers of the installed packages - for exmaple D:\Programme\GnuWin32\Include;D:\Programme\OpneSSL\Include)
** CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH (all paths to the libraries of the installed packages - for exmaple D:\Programme\GnuWin32\Lib;D:\Programme\OpenSSL\Lib\MSVC)

* After you've checked out the sources, create a new directory 'sim-im-build'.
* Now you can call cmake (or cmakesetup on win32) by switching into 'sim-im-build':
** cmake ..\sim-im

* When cmake is ready and all required packages were found you can start compiling sim with 'make' (or mingw-32make or nmake)
