Compiling with MinGW
To compile yourself:
- Download and install Git for Windows
- Download the pre-compiled dependencies and extract them into the MinGW-root created by Qt-Installation (C:\MinGW)
- Get the current sources (from git)
- run
qmake -rin main directory - run 'make' at the same location
Alternatively to running qmake -r and make manually, you might also want to build the project using Qt Creator by Qt Software. To do that, open the file himd.pro located in the root directory of the source tree. If you want to run the GUI QHiMDTransfer tool, make sure to choose the run configuration qhimdtransfer instead of himdtest. The latter will just exit with an error code if no command line parameters are provided.
To test QHiMDTransfer:
- Obtain Qt runtime libs (if you don't already have them installed: these two dlls should be enough: qtdllpack.zip with QtGui4.dll and QtCore4.dll).
- Obtain precompiled lib bundle, extract to some dir in you Windows search path or in the same directory as the main executable.
- Obtain the QHiMDTransfer and himdtest executable
Pre-Compiled dependencies
Download everything and extract into your mingw root. It usually is C:\MinGW. To run QHiMDTransfer, you just need the files from the runtime column. To compile QHiMDTransfer, you also need the development stuff. MinGW automatically gets installed if you install the Qt development kit for Windows. Additionally, you need CMake

Rebuild instructions for GPL reasons
This stuff is not needed. It produces just the zip files linked above. The instructions shown should work on debian Linux.
Cross-compile libmad
Perform the following steps.
- Get libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz, local copy at libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz for GPL reasons (I am distributing a binary)
- Get libmad.patch
- In the directory both files were saved to, enter:
tar -xvzf libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz patch -p0 < libmad.patch cd libmad-0.15.1b autoconf touch -d '1/1/1970' configure.ac ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --prefix=/ --disable-static make make DESTDIR=`pwd`/tmp install cd tmp i586-mingw32msvc-strip bin/libmad-0.dll mkdir manifest echo bin/libmad-0.dll manifest/libmad-runtime.mft > manifest/libmad-runtime.mft echo lib/libmad.* include/mad.h manifest/libmad-devel.mft > manifest/libmad-devel.mft zip ../../libmad-runtime.zip bin/libmad-0.dll manifest/libmad-runtime.mft zip ../../libmad-devel.zip lib/libmad.* include/mad.h manifest/libmad-devel.mft
Cross-compile libmcrypt
Perform the following steps.
- Get libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.bz2 via Sourceforge Download system, local copy at libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.bz2 for GPL reasons (I am distributing a binary)
- Get libmcrypt.patch
- In the directory both files were saved to, enter:
tar -xvjf libmcrypt-2.5.8.tar.bz2 patch -p0 < libmcrypt.patch cd libmcrypt-2.5.8 autoconf touch -d '1/1/1970' configure.in ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --prefix=/ --disable-static make make DESTDIR=`pwd`/tmp install cd tmp i586-mingw32msvc-strip bin/libmcrypt-4.dll mkdir manifest echo bin/libmcrypt-4.dll manifest/libmcrypt-runtime.mft | tr ' ' '\n' > manifest/libmcrypt-runtime.mft echo bin/libmcrypt-config include/mcrypt.h include/mutils/mcrypt.h lib/libmcrypt* share/aclocal/libmcrypt.m4 share/man/man3/* manifest/libmcrypt-devel.mft | tr ' ' '\n' > manifest/libmcrypt-devel.mft zip ../../libmcrypt-devel.zip -@ < manifest/libmcrypt-devel.mft zip ../../libmcrypt-runtime.zip -@ < manifest/libmcrypt-runtime.mft
Cross-compile libsox
Perform the following steps. It will build a static (minimal) sox library. mad support is disabled, as it won't link with a dynamic mad library because limitations of the Windows executable file format that would need an annotation in the mad include file (so it is essentially a bug in our mad build). As sox is only used to write wave files, disabling mad is no problem.
- Get sox-14.2.0.tar.gz via Sourceforge Download system, local copy at sox-14.2.0.tar.gz for GPL reasons (I am distributing a binary)
- In the directory both files were saved to, enter:
tar -xvzf sox-14.2.0.tar.gz cd sox-14.2.0 ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --prefix=/ --disable-symlinks --without-mad make make DESTDIR=`pwd`/tmp install cd tmp i586-mingw32msvc-strip --strip-unneeded lib/libsox.a mkdir manifest find lib -type f > manifest/sox-devel.mft echo include/* manifest/sox-devel.mft | tr ' ' '\n' >> manifest/sox-devel.mft zip ../../sox-devel.zip -@ < manifest/sox-devel.mft
