| =Checking Out SVN=
| |
| '''Note:''' XBMC is open source (GPL) software and as so the source code is available for anyone to modify and/or compile (under the rules of the GPL).
| |
| ==Prerequisites==
| |
| * Microsoft Windows XP operating-system installed on an x86-based computer or virtual machine.
| |
| * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_C%2B%2B Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio#Visual_Studio_.NET_2003 Visual Studio .NET 2003] (Compiler and IDE). ''Note: VC/VS 2005 or later is not compatible with the [[XDK]]. Also note that XBMC is '''coded in C++''' (and not in a .NET programming-language as the names of these Visual Studio versions might indicate).''
| |
| *[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=fd044a42-9912-42a3-9a9e-d857199f888e DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (Summer 2004)]
| |
| * [[XDK|Microsoft Xbox Software Development Kit (a.k.a. XDK)]] ''Note: If you installed Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio (or otherwise modified the installed files), you need to run the XDK setup with the /s flag.''
| |
| * [http://tortoisesvn.net/ TortoiseSVN] (or a other [[SVN]] client of your choosing if you prefer).
| |
| | |
| ==Getting the Source Code==
| |
| ===Using TortoiseSVN===
| |
| If you already have installed TortoiseSVN then you can skip the first two steps below.
| |
| # Get TortoiseSVN installer from [http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ the TortoiseSVN site]
| |
| # Install TortoiseSVN
| |
| # Right click in a directory and click "SVN Checkout"
| |
| # Enter URL of repository: https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/xbox in the dialogue window.

| |
| * Lastly click "''OK''" and wait for all the source tree to download. ''(Expect a 250-300 MB download the first time you checkout!)''
| |
| | |
| ==Building XBMC==
| |
| ===Build.bat===
| |
| Building with build.bat is a very simple process
| |
| * Double click on build.bat to run the automated build process
| |
| * The process will create a BUILD directory with your new XBMC build inside
| |

| |
| ===xbmc.sln===
| |
| This is the way of just building default.xbe, which is only recomended for advanced users who are debugging problems.
| |
| * Open up the "''xbmc.sln''" file with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_C%2B%2B Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Visual_Studio#Visual_Studio_.NET_2003 Visual Studio .NET 2003].
| |
| * Select "Release" or "Debug" from the Build Manager (depending on which type of build you are making).
| |
| * Select "Compile", and then wait for the compiling to complete.
| |
| * Depending on if you selected Release or Debug, the default.xbe would be in that sub directory.
