kRPC C++ client with CodeBlocks and MSYS2

gistfile1.txt

Download and install MSYS2 64bit (http://www.msys2.org/), follow the installation instructions and update it (say yes if asked to remove conflicting packages)

Open MSYS2 and run the following command to install required packages:

  pacman -S base-devel unzip mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils

Download the following files to C:/msys64/home/<your username>
 * protobuf-cpp-3.4.1.zip from https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases
 * asio-1.10.6.zip from https://sourceforge.net/projects/asio/files/asio/1.10.6%20%28Stable%29/
 * krpc-cpp-0.4.4.post1.zip from https://github.com/krpc/krpc/releases/tag/v0.4.4.post1.cpp

Run the following commands in MSYS2, to extract and compile the libraries:

export PATH=$PATH:/mingw64/bin

unzip protobuf-cpp-3.4.1.zip
cd protobuf-3.4.1
./configure
make
make install

unzip asio.1.10.6.zip
cd asio-1.10.6
./configure --without-boost
make -C include install

unzip krpc-0.4.4.post1.zip
cd krpc-0.4.4
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local" ./configure
make

To use these libraries in codeblocks, you will need to configure it to use the compiler toolchain in C:/msys2/mingw64/bin/
Set the include and linker paths for the project to C:/msys2/usr/include and C:/msys2/usr/lib
The linker also needs to be configured to link the following libraries:
  krpc
  protobuf
  ws2_32
