# Build on windows
* Install [.NET Framework 4.0](http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851) (if not installed yet)
* Install [msysGit](http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.7.8-preview20111206.exe)
* I recommend you to install in `C:\msysgit`
* _Clone step_: Open a Git console (available in Start Menu > Git > Git Bash). On the command line write
cd /c
git clone -b gettext-cs git://github.com/serras/SparkleShare.git
cd SparkleShare
git submodule update --init
* This way you will get the SparkleShare source code in `C:\SparkleShare`
* Download [SmartIrc4net-0.4.0.bin.zip](http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartirc4net/files/SmartIrc4net/0.4.0/SmartIrc4net-0.4.0.bin.zip/download)
* Copy `Meebey.SmartIrc4net.dll` and `Meebey.SmartIrc4net.xml` from the zip file in `bin\release` to `C:\SparkleShare\bin` (create that directory if it does not exist)
* Download [CefSharp-0.3.1.7z](https://github.com/downloads/chillitom/CefSharp/CefSharp-0.3.1.7z)
* Copy `avcodec-52.dll`, `avformat-52.dll`, `avutil-50.dll`, `CefSharp.dll`, `icudt42.dll` and `libcef.dll` from the 7z file in `CefSharp-0.3.1\Release\` to `c:\SparkleShare\bin`
* Copy the entire contents of the msysGit folder to `C:\SparkleShare\bin\msysgit`
* _Build step_: Open a command shell (available in Start Menu > Accessories > Command Prompt) and execute
C:
cd C:\SparkleShare
cd SparkleShare\Windows
build
* `C:\SparkleShare\bin` should now contain `SparkleLib.dll` and `SparkleShare.exe`, apart from folders `plugins`, `po` and `msysgit`
* If you want to build the Windows installer download and install [WiX](http://wix.sourceforge.net/)
* _Installer build step_: Then open a command shell and write almost the same as before, but with `installer` at the end
C:
cd C:\SparkleShare
cd SparkleShare\Windows
build installer
Now, each time you would like to get the latest changes open a Git console and run
cd /c/SparkleShare
git pull
git submodule update
and then run the build step and/or build installer step in the command shell.
