Install Dependencies

Xournal++ requires the following software to build:

  1. Install MSYS2 to a short path without spaces.
  2. Install NSIS to the standard directory.

Update MSYS2

Open a MSYS2 console (not the MINGW64 console) and run the following command twice. Reopen the MSYS2 console each time you run the command.

pacman -Syuu

Install Build tools

Open a MINGW64 console (Always check if it says MINGW64 - not 32bit and not MSYS2)

All following steps in this document happen in this console, unless specified otherwise.

pacman -S \
  mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain \
  mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake \
  mingw-w64-x86_64-ninja \
  mingw-w64-x86_64-imagemagick \
  mingw-w64-x86_64-gettext \

  make \
  git

If prompted, confirm or use all default values.

Building and Testing

See Compile.md

Packaging and Setup

Create the installer with

./windows-setup/package.sh build/

The installer will be located at build/xournalpp-setup.exe. This command will also create a portable version of Xournal++ located in build/dist.
