Selecting the host / target system
Since (for more information: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2020-September/085869.html), which basically translates to since LibreOffice 7.1, the old configure switch --enable-64-bit was dropped. To explicitly select your architecture, you have to supply the correct configure host triplet:
 * --host=i686-pc-cygwin: target 32-bit Intel / AMD host
 * --host=x86_64-pc-cygwin: target 64-bit AMD / Intel host
 * --host=aarch64-pc-cygwin: target 64-bit ARM host (WIP, but should run in general - see bug )

For all versions before LibreOffice 7.1, the default build is always 32-bit on Windows and you must explicitly call autogen.sh/configure with --enable-64-bit to get a 64-bit build.

Otherwise your build and host system will be the same, detected by the configure script, which is probably what you want anyway.

Depending on your decision, you must install a Java version, matching the target architecture and bit count.

Example for Windows Arm64 cross-compile including Java

 * --host=aarch64-pc-cygwin or --with-distro=LibreOfficeWinArm64
 * --with-build-platform-configure-options=--with-jdk-home=C:/PROGRA~1/Java/JDK-14~1.1
 * --with-jdk-home=/cygdrive/c/lode/jdk-16-ea+25-windows-aarch64

The first is the installed Oracle x86_64 Java, the 2nd is the unpacked pre-release of the Windows Arm64 OpenJDK Java.

빌드 종속성
윈도우에서 리브레오피스를 해킹 시작 하기 전, 다음의 지시에 따라 빌드 환경을 설정해야합니다. 또한 개발/일반적인 빌드 힌트를 보십시오.

비주얼 스튜디오 설치
빌드를 하려면 마이크로소프트사의 컴파일러/개발도구 "Visual Studio"가 필요합니다. 이 도구는 여기서 얻을 수 있습니다. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

모든 LibreOffice 기능을 빌드하는 데 필요한 모든 것을 포함하는 무료버전인 Community Edition이 있습니다. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/

현재 마스터(리브레오피스 7.0부터) "Visual 2019"(적어도 "16.4"버전부터)(또는 Visual Studio Build Tool에 대응하는)가 필요합니다.

VS 2017부터 Visual Studio IDE를 설치하지 않고 컴파일러와 대부분의 툴체인 및 라이브러리를 포함하는 별도의 빌드 도구 패키지를 사용할 수 있습니다. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2019

이전 LibreOffice 버전의 경우 필요한 Visual Studio 버전은 다음과 같습니다.
 * LibreOffice 4.4는 Visual Studio 2012가 필요합니다
 * LibreOffice 5.0은 Visual Studio 2013이 필요합니다
 * LibreOffice 5.4는 Visual Studio 2015가 필요합니다
 * LibreOffice 6.2는 Visual Studio 2017이 필요합니다
 * LibreOffice 6.3은 Visual Studio 2017 또는 2019로 구축 할 수 있습니다

Visual Studio 2019는 2017 및 2015 컴파일러 (VS 2015/2017 C++ Buildtools)를 선택적으로 설치할 수 있습니다. 유일하게 누락 된 것은 이전 C ++ 재배포 가능 MSM 패키지이므로, 이전 configure.ac 스크립트는 MSI 패키지를 빌드하기 위해 약간의 패치가 필요합니다.

이전 버전의 Visual Studio는 https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/ 에서 이용 가능합니다

최소 v16.4 이상의 Visual Studio (및 Visual Studio Build Tools) 2019는 현재 마스터에서 작동합니다. 가장 쉬운 방법은 Visual Studio에서 "C ++로 데스크톱 개발"워크로드를 설치하는 것입니다. 여기에는 빌드에 필요한 다음의 구성 요소가 대부분 포함되어 있습니다.
 * MSVC v14x - VS 20xx C++ x64/x86 build tools (Latest)
 * C++ core features
 * Windows 10 SDK (10.0.xxxxx.x)
 * Windows Universal C Runtime
 * C++ ATL for v14x build tools (x86 & x64)
 * .NET Framework 4.x SDK (.NET Framework 5.x SDK and .NET Framework 6.0 SDK pre-release versions are currently not supported. These don't register their information to registry, doesn't have csc.exe and they use dotnet command with csc.dll instead for compiling.)
 * C++ 20xx Redistributable MSMs ( MSI 설치 프로그램을 빌드하는 데만 필요합니다. "C ++를 이용한 데스크탑 개발"워크로드의 일부가 아닙니다. )
 * C++ Clang Compiler for Windows (x.x.x)

If you want to cross-build for ARM64, you have to select the following additional components:
 * MSVC v142 - VS 20xx C++ ARM64 build tools (v14.2x)
 * C++ ATL for v142 build tools (ARM64)

VS 2019 설치 프로그램에서 이러한 옵션을 선택할 수 있습니다.

재배포 가능한 MSM(MSI 설치에만 필요)은 2019년 워크로드 선택의 일부가 아니라 개개의 컴포넌트 선택 중에서 선택해야 합니다. 자세한 내용은 VS 개발자 커뮤니티의 질문Where MergeModules for 14.20.27404.0 and 14.20.27508? 그리고Deprecation of CRT redist MSMs? 에 대한 코멘트를 참조하십시오.

자바 설치
어떤 버전의 Visual Studio를 사용하든 관계없이, 필요 합니다

Java Development Kit 9버전 이상. 윈도우 64bit, 32bit에 따라 동일한 bit의 SDK가 필요합니다. 아래의 링크를 통해 구할 수 있습니다. 오라클의 경우 다운로드를 위해서 로그인을 필요로 합니다. https://adoptopenjdk.net/ adoptopenjdk.net http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html oracle.com

Oracle JDK가 64 비트 전용인 것에 주의하십시오.

AdoptOpenJDK 설치 프로그램이 즉시 검색되지 않는 것에 주의하십시오: 이에 대한 "JavaSoft (Orace) 레지스트리 키" 옵션을 수동으로 실행해야 합니다.

In your autogen.input file, point to the path in this way:

If you're cross compiling to 64-bit ARM, you need to provide a different JDK for the build-tools and the target host. While the build-tools will detect the correct JDK eventually, you must use  to provide the host JDK. You can override the build JDK by using.

시그윈(Cygwin)과 그 외 종속성에 대한 소프트웨어 설치
{{note|The Easiest way to perform the following is to use LODE, which automates all that is necessary, beyond installing Visual Studio and Java.

더 열심히 많은 것을 알고 싶다면, 계속 읽어주세요.

시그윈(Cygwin) 요구사항 설치
Windows 에서는 www.cygwin.com에서 Cygwin을 설치해야 합니다. 권장 버전: 2.11 또는 그 이후버전.

가장 간단한 방법은 Cygwin의 setup-x86.exe (32비트) 또는 setup-x86_64.exe (64비트)를 다운로드하는 것입니다.


 * 가능하면 64비트 Cygwin을 사용하는 것이 좋습니다.포크 문제가 발생할 가능성이 낮기 때문입니다 (자세한 내용은 Cygwin FAQ를 참조하십시오).

이 지침은 64 비트 버전을 예로 사용합니다. cmd를 실행하고 다운로드 디렉토리로 이동합니다 (탐색에 문제가있는 경우 setup-x86_64.exe를 파일 탐색기에서 cmd 창으로 드래그 할 수도 있습니다) 복사하고 아래 명령을 붙여 넣기하여 사전 선택된 필수 패키지목록과 함께 setup-x86_64.exe를 실행합니다.

setup-x86_64.exe -P autoconf -P automake -P bison -P cabextract -P doxygen -P flex -P gcc-g++ ^ -P gettext-devel -P git -P gnupg -P gperf -P make -P mintty ^ -P nasm -P openssh -P openssl -P patch -P perl -P python -P python3 ^ -P pkg-config -P rsync -P unzip -P vim -P wget -P zip -P perl-Archive-Zip ^ -P perl-Font-TTF -P perl-IO-String

이렇게하면 GUI가 시작되고 설치 경로 등을 수동으로 선택해야하지만 명령 줄을 통해 전달 된 패키지는 미리 선택되어 있으므로 선택을 수락하면됩니다.

참고: Cygwin의 설치 경로에 ASCII가 아닌 문자가 포함되어 있지 않아야 autogen.sh/configure 문제를 피할 수 있습니다.(포함된 경우, Cygwin 설치 폴더를 새 위치로 이동하고 Windows 바로 가기 & 시작 메뉴 항목을 업데이트하십시오).

대안으로는, setup-x86.exe 또는 setup-x86_64.exe 유틸리티를 실행한 후,'전체'가 옆에 표시될 때까지 '보기'를 눌러 패키지 보기 모드를 '전체'로 전환하십시오, 다음 설치를 위해 위의 명령에 나열된 패키지를 수동으로 선택하십시오.

Cygwin을 업그레이드한 경우' rebaseall 명령을 실행해야 할 수 있습니다.(Cygwin을 처음 설치한 경우에는 필요 없음):

모든 Cygwin 콘솔을 닫고, 를 실행하고 터미널에서 를 실행하십시오.

그외 종속성들
Cygwin을 설치 한 후 바탕 화면 아이콘 Cygwin64 Terminal을 클릭하여 Cygwin 명령 줄을 열고 다음 단계를 수행하십시오.

GNU make 설치
Win32의 GNU 빌드 4.0+는 Libre Office 구축에 이용 가능합니다.(필요합니다.)

It's easiest to put it in /opt/lo/bin, where configure will automatically find it; you can also use another location and set the MAKE variable. Either prepend /opt/lo/bin to PATH, or alternatively, when you build LibreOffice, always invoke "make" with the absolute path /opt/lo/bin/make (or wherever you put it). LibreOffice can not and should not use Cygwin's /usr/bin/make.

mkdir -p /opt/lo/bin cd /opt/lo/bin wget https://dev-www.libreoffice.org/bin/cygwin/make-4.2.1-msvc.exe cp make-4.2.1-msvc.exe make chmod +x make

ant와 junit 설치
어디서든 추출할 수 있어, 설치하지 않아도 됩니다. 주니트를 사용하기 싫으면, 자동생성기로 --without-junit를 사용하여 무효화 할 수 있습니다. sh 명령어를 사용한 후에.

mkdir -p /cygdrive/c/sources cd /cygdrive/c/sources wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/ant/binaries/apache-ant-1.9.5-bin.tar.bz2 tar -xjvf apache-ant-1.9.5-bin.tar.bz2 wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/junit/junit/4.10/junit-4.10.jar

Also works with the combination of junit 4.13,hamcrest 2.2 and Apache Ant 1.10.12

리브레오피스 소스코드 저장소를 복사하세요.
참고: 소스들은 파일/경로 이름 제한 및 대상 경로를 초과하지 않도록 비교적 짧은 경로로 해야 하며 타겟 경로에 공간을 포함할 수 없습니다.

cd /cygdrive/c/sources git clone https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/core libo-core

선택적으로 빌드 디렉토리 생성
당신은 LibreOffice를 당신의 체크아웃이 아닌 다른 디렉토리에 "만들 수 있습니다". 이것은 소스 코드 트리를 청결하게 유지하고 여러 버전을 쉽게 만들 수 있는데 도움이 됩니다.

별도의 경로에 빌드하고 싶다면, 예를들어 /cygdrive/c/build, 다음의 명령어들을 입력하세요:

mkdir /cygdrive/c/build cd /cygdrive/c/build

"기타" 해당 경로를 /cygdrive/c/sources/libo-core 폴더로 변경 :

cd /cygdrive/c/sources/libo-core

설정 및 코드 빌드
빌드 설정을 위해 autogen.sh를 실행하세요.

/cygdrive/c/sources/libo-core/autogen.sh \ --with-external-tar=/cygdrive/c/sources/lo-externalsrc \ --with-junit=/cygdrive/c/sources/junit-4.10.jar \ --with-ant-home=/cygdrive/c/sources/apache-ant-1.9.5 \ --enable-pch --disable-ccache \ [additional switches, if you know what you are doing :-) ...]

Note that it's not recommended to use ccache on Windows. If you have it installed in your Cygwin environment, be safe and disable it with --disable-ccache (as in the command above).

If the autogen.sh script complains that it cannot find some header files, it is possible that it cannot locate the your Windows SDK or that it finds a corrupted one. This may happen if you installed multiple version of Visual Studio on your computer, especially if you installed a Beta version, and even if you uninstalled those. In this case, you may use the --with-windows-sdk=7.1A, possibly replacing 7.1A with another version of the SDK to select a specific uncorrupted version.

Save a copy of the last used parameters in the file autogen.input. It will not be overridden by autogen.sh when using other parameters. If autogen.sh is called again without parameters, it will fetch its input from autogen.input if it is present.

At this point, you might want to consider additional options to pass to autogen with

For example consider adding a Debugging option. Changing some of these options will require to do a full rebuild: e.g., adding. Since the following command  takes a vast quantity of time to run for the first time, you probably would like to save time by specifying the settings you'd need depending on the ultimate goal of your build. In case of doubt, possibly it's good to ask for advice on #libreoffice-dev.

Read the summary output from the autogen.sh command. If it did not report any errors or relevant warnings, then all that is left to do is to run the right version of make to build LibreOffice. Before you do this, make sure your anti-virus software will not cause any problems.

/opt/lo/bin/make gb_COLOR=1 # gb_COLOR=1은 색상출력 가능

LibreOffice 실행하기
빌드가 에러 없이 끝났을 때, LibreOffice의 새로 만든 빌드를 실행할 수 있습니다.

instdir/program/soffice.exe

Microsoft Visual Studio 프로젝트 통합
LibreOffice 빌드 시스템은 Microsoft Visual Stdio를 포함해 몇몇 IDE에서 프로젝트 파일을 생성할 수 있습니다. -- Honza Havlíček의 멋진 작업에 대해 감사를 -- (전체 빌드를 허용하지 않으므로 전체 빌드를 위해서 여전히 Cygwin을 사용해야한다는 것을 주의하세요.)

Visual Studio를 위해 프로젝트 파일 빌드하기
The IDE integration script is written in python3, which is not installed by default (using the lode method), please install it in cygwin before running the make command. After a complete build of LibreOffice was successful, execute the following command to generate a Visual Studio project:

$ /opt/lo/bin/make vs-ide-integration

If the generation is successful, the resulting solution file  will be placed in the root directory of the build and can be opened with Microsoft Visual Studio.

See Development / IDE / Microsoft Visual Studio for details, including commands used with older branches and known problems.

왜 MSVC인가?
It is a frequently asked question, usually coming from free software purists, why we use proprietary compiler instead of a free one (i.e. gcc).


 * ABI backwards-compatibility for compiled extensions. There is some resistance to breaking that.
 * So far MSVC produces faster, smaller binaries.
 * There are some features in the code that don't compile with MinGW. They use API that MinGW does not provide headers for etc.
 * There are open questions around how we would run unit tests in a MinGW cross-compilation environment.
 * There are open questions around how well gdb works on Windows; the MSVC C++ debugger is really quite good.

Autogen options
Something like the following in the autogen.input file is known to produce a working build:

--disable-odk --with-junit=/cygdrive/c/sources/junit-4.10.jar --with-ant-home=/cygdrive/c/sources/apache-ant-1.9.5

Of course, change the information behind ='s to fit your needs; set the paths to what you have used when installing various prerequisites.

You also need to specify the path for ant with --with-ant-home=.

64-비트 비주얼 스튜디오 빌드
A port for 64-bit Windows is working on master with all supported compilers. To build it, use the  flag to configure on versions older than LibreOffice 7.1.

Switching to non-default compiler
Specify which Visual Studio version to use in case several are installed.

Depending on the branch, different versions may be supported, for example 2015, 2017 for libreoffice-6-1, and typically the oldest supported one will be picked by default.

--with-visual-studio=2019

If you want to use Visual Studio 2022, you have to say it explicitly:

--with-visual-studio=2022

Running Glade on Windows
To edit dialogs (.ui files), you need Glade. There is an old version for Windows but it doesn't support all properties that are needed for LibreOffice dialogs.

So you need to install Glade in Cygwin:

xorg-server, glade, dbus
 * Install Glade in Cygwin by running the Cygwin setup, then install the following packages:


 * You may have to invoke:

dbus-uuidgen > /etc/machine-id

export GLADE_CATALOG_SEARCH_PATH=/instdir/share/glade X -multiwindow DISPLAY=:0.0 glade
 * Add this to your .bashrc:
 * Open one Cygwin console and run:
 * Open another Cygwin console and run:

That's it, you should now run Glade ≥ 3.18



Cygwin and git
The main problem is the cygwin-git is very slow.

The alternatives are:
 * Install the win-git from here: https://gitforwindows.org/ (This installs a "Git-Bash Here" in Explorer)
 * Use Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to install a Linux distribution (see e.g. https://www.sitepoint.com/wsl2-windows-terminal/ for how to install a distribution and optionally Windows Terminal)

Here are the times using the same computer and repo and not being the first call:

git status

Git in WSL is slower than git-bash, but it has the advantage of working in a complete Linux environment with all other tools provided by the distribution. You should not mix tools from Cygwin and WSL (i.e. open separate terminals for Cygwin and for WSL).

NOTE: A mix between different git tools is not always compatible, when you change you should renew (clone) the git repositories.

Best to configure "autocrlf" before cloning master, to avoid the problem (see below for how to set "autocrlf" to a sensible value)

Executable permission on files
It is desirable to use  in the   section of , to avoid all files having executable permission in cygwin-git. This setting allows Git to ignore the differences between filemodes of files on disk and in index, which is useful with cygwin-git, which sees all files on disk as having executable permission (755 instead of typical 644). However, sometimes you need to add a script file with executable permission, and with the mentioned setting, you would need to use an explicit command to set the permission to the added file:

git update-index --chmod=+x myfile.sh

Ref: git-update-index documentation.

Cygwin Shell
You will use Cygwin Bash Shell for the whole build process. You must install all the build dependencies above before starting the shell to run autogen because autogen needs some environment variables to find the tools.

If you see an error similar to the following when running autogen.sh

$'\r': command not found

This means that that Windows style newline characters are creating issues with the Cygwin Shell. The good way to solve this is to configure git to clone with UNIX line ending. To do so, give the following command in Cygwin Shell:

git config --global core.autocrlf input

Big List Of Dodgy Apps
If you get mysterious build breaks, building is very slow or your systems hangs totally, check if you are running an application which interferes with Cygwin. For a list of known offenders, see this point in the Cygwin FAQ.

BitDefender / other Anti-Virus / security tools breaking the build
If your build fails with a FileNotFoundError: such as, there's a good chance your Anti-Virus is quarantining or deleting important files.

Another potential source of problems are the sample documents (those labeled CVE) that check for known vulnerabilities to ensure they don't reappear again. In the source they are stored encrypted to avoid triggering the warnings, but when the corresponding test is run, the original is created in the temp directory and tools such as BitDefender can flag it.

If you want to run these tests, disable monitoring of the temporary build-directories  and   in your Anti-Virus tool. For Windows 8 and 10 you will need to disable Windows Defender launch - search for and launch 'defender' from the shell.

You can also use the  autogen flag to skip the tests that are known to cause trouble.

Also note that Anti-Virus tools can slow down your build quite a bit, if you want to build fast you should disable real time monitoring of the source tree and the temporary files directory.

Norton Antivirus breaking the build
Norton Antivirus and Symantec Endpoint Protection complain about certain files that the build produces. It finds the following files (in a build without "--enable-dbgutil" )

Malware: Suspicious.Cloud D:\bld\rel\workdir\UnpackedTarball\icu\source\bin\genrb.exe* Malware: Suspicious.Cloud.5 D:\bld\rel\workdir\UnpackedTarball\nss\nss\lib\zlib\out\example.exe* D:\bld\rel\workdir\UnpackedTarball\nss\dist\out\bin\example.exe* D:\bld\rel\instdir\program\reg4allmsdoc.dll D:\bld\rel\instdir\program\sdqsmsi.dll D:\bld\rel\instdir\program\sellangmsi.dll

Files with * are needed for the build - exclude them from the virus scan!

The following files appear with varying names (????) in a release build, so you cannot exclude them from the scan.

D:\bld\rel\instdir\program\RCX????.tmp D:\bld\rel\instdir\program\RCX????.tmp D:\bld\rel\instdir\program\RCX????.tmp

Current workaround: Don't do release builds (unless you are allowed/willing to switch off the virus scanner).

System PATH causing weird build breakage
If you experience weird build breakage that no one else seems to experience, check your PATH value and try cleaning it. Note that you need to open a new shell and re-run autogen.sh in order for the new system PATH value to take effect in your build. Some people have experienced a build failure in the shell module due to their system PATH including a path to an older OOo installation which had a DLL of the same name as the one that the build uses.

Windows Update automatically reboot during compilation
Sometimes Microsoft Windows reboot during compilation. It happen because Windows Update updates operating system and reboot. To stop windows update from command line, you can enter following command in command box:

C:> net stop wuauserv

It stops a Windows Update service process.

Failing PDF signing tests
On Windows, it can happen, that PDF signing tests are failing:

[build CUT] xmlsecurity_pdfsigning warn:sfx.appl:2956:6324:sfx2/source/appl/app.cxx:193: No DDE-Service possible. Error: 16399 warn:svl.crypto:2956:6324:svl/source/crypto/cryptosign.cxx:1415: CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey failed: Das Zertifikat und der private Schlüssel für die Entschlüsselung wurden nicht gefunden. warn:vcl.filter:2956:6324:vcl/source/filter/ipdf/pdfdocument.cxx:846: PDFDocument::Sign: PDFWriter::Sign failed C:/Users/davido/projects/libo/xmlsecurity/qa/unit/pdfsigning/pdfsigning.cxx:174:PDFSigningTest::testPDFAdd assertion failed - Expression: aDocument.Sign(aCertificates[0], "test", true)

Solution: Remove expired Own Certificate: http://imgur.com/a/NdCxT


 * 1) Start certmgr
 * 2) proceed to Own Certificates
 * 3) Remove expired certificate
 * 4) Repeat the tests
 * 5) Done

Short filenames (8.3 filenames)
If you get an error like the following one:

configure: error: converted path "C:/PROG~1/Microsoft SDKs/Windows/v8.1A/bin/NETFX4~1.1TO/" still contains spaces. Short filenames (8.3 filenames) support was disabled on this system? Error running configure at ./autogen.sh line 300.

Then ensure 8.3 name creation is enabled. Open the Command Prompt as administrator and run:

fsutil 8dot3name query c:

Also, check that the conflicting folder (in this case, "Microsoft SDKs") has a corresponding 8.3 filename. For example:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\ dir /x M*

This will print a list of folders beginning with "M" and their associated 8.3 filenames. If "Microsoft SDKs" does not have a short filename, you can rename it to "tmp", then create a new folder "Microsoft SDKs", check that it has a short filename and move the contents of "tmp" to "Microsoft SDKs".

When choosing a directory in which to install LODE, please use the 8.3 rules. Windows does not correct environment variables, therefore e.g. LODE_HOME will be wrong and will cause problems. Therefore, always clone lode in a 8.3 path such as:

C:\source\LO\lode

autogen.sh might report that it cannot find mscvc.exe.

This is caused by the long filename problem as well, but the solution is a bit more work:

Shift+reset, go to the safe mode, do this:

fsutil 8dot3name set c: 0 fsutil file setshortname "Program Files (x86)" PROGS fsutil file setshortname "Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0" msvc-12 fsutil file setshortname "Windows Kits" W~Kits

Correct your PATH variable

MS Windows Security / Crypto related problems
There is a document describing various fixes for Windows Security / Crypto related problems in the Windows Server troubleshoot documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/windows-security/windows-security-overview. It has a subsection for Permissions, access control, and auditing.

ALINK : error AL1078: Error signing assembly -- Access is denied
Fix: the correct permissions for the MachineKey folder are described in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/windows-security/default-permissions-machinekeys-folders. A more elaborated description is in https://odetocode.com/blogs/scott/archive/2020/01/12/solving-access-denied-in-crypto-machine-keys.aspx. It's a bit complex to get right, so check twice.

Alternative workaround: open the Developer Command Prompt for VS as an administrator, and use sn tool to set `AL.EXE` to use the current user key set to sign assemblies instead of using the machine key set:

sn -m n

This modifies the following registry keys:

for 64-bit systems:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\StrongName

for 32-bit systems:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\StrongName

See this stack overflow question and mail thread starting from this message for more information.

To solve this you need to grant (as Administrator) Modify permission for the Users group to the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto

Other known problems

 * Paths that include /opt cause problems with some external modules; it is best to avoid having your source tree in /opt; or use --disable-orcus to overcome this.
 * Asian locale builds sometimes fail due to encoding issues in the source code; in these cases, patches to fix those problems are appreciated. Alternatively, configure Windows for a US locale.

Using a Windows program as your git editor
Paths under Cygwin are an endless source of nightmares. This section documents using Notepad++ as your git editor under Cygwin. It assumes you are using the 64-bit version of Notepad++ (adjust the path, if using the 32-bit version).

Below you will find a wrapper script written by Gene Pavlovsky (original gist in GitHub).


 * 1) Save the script as cygrun.sh into the bin directory in Cygwin's root (so it is in the PATH). When saving the cygrun.sh using Notepad++, do this first to make sure it has Unix line endings: from the "Edit" menu, select "EOL Conversion" -> "UNIX (LF)".
 * 2) In a Cygwin shell inside the bin directory, give this command to create a symbolic link:
 * 3) Give this command in your home directory:   or alternatively edit your .gitconfig to contain this editor block:   The --wait is important, as it forces git to wait until you close the file.

Bonus: if you want to define Notepad++ as the default editor of your shell and also access it through a handy "np" alias, add these to the .bashrc file in your home directory:

Remember to be very careful with the line endings, when creating new files and use the Edit -> EOL Conversion.
