====== C-client for Windows, How to compile ======

C-client is a common API for accessing mailboxes.
For more information, please see the UW IMAP homepage:
WWW: http://www.washington.edu/imap/


===== Available prebuilt libraries =====

All prebuilt libraries are available in the php-libs [[http://windows.php.net/downloads/php-sdk/deps/|repositories]]

For PHP suitable sources and up-to-date information see [[https://github.com/winlibs/imap]]

The filename format is:

cclient-x.y.z-vcversion-architecture.zip

where x.y.z defines the version, vcversion which Visual C++ has been used and architecture defines whether the build is for win32 or win64.

Only static library (cclient_a.lib) are available for now.


===== Building CCLient 2007b =====


==== Requirements =====
  * imap-2007a Sources, fetch our [[https://github.com/winlibs/|version]] or the original [[http://www.washington.edu/imap/|sources]] (no patch required)
  * Common tools used to compile PHP


==== Preparing the sources =====

Simply uncompress the sources archives.


==== Configuration =====

Modify the file in imap-2007b\sc\osdep\nt\makefile.w2k, on line 39:

    CCLIENTLIB = cclient_a.lib

src\ipopd\makefile.w2k on line 29:

    CCLIENTLIB = $C\cclient_a.lib

src\mailutil\makefile.w2k on line 29

    CCLIENTLIB = $C\cclient_a.lib

src\mtest\makefile.w2k on line 29

   CCLIENTLIB = $C\cclient_a.lib

No other special configuration required. Be sure to have the platform SDK in your path.


==== Compilation =====

=== Release ====

The following command:

<code bash>
cd imap-2007b\
nmake /f makefile.w2k
