[tor-dev] Embedding tor in an application and using tor without opening a port

[wac]

Hi Navin:

Some versions of zlib can be built with the IDE but for the one I used (oldest bugfree because of gzip support) I used nmake.

Just open Visual Studio command prompt. Or if you don't locate it, (but recommend you to do it) just run vcvars32.bat (is in bin directory) to set up the environment.

For libevent:

open the Visual Studio Command Prompt, then

cd \where\you\put\it
nmake -f makefile.nmake

for zlib something similar.

for openssl you need to do more steps and install perl for configuration (they recommend activestateperl)

at INSTALL.W32 file just read "Visual C++" section. I just used dynamic library but there is a way to do it static library if you want.

when you open the solution left click at the project. Select properties. Then go to

Configuration properties -> C/C++ -> General

See there "Additional include directories". You need to change those as they are not relative.

Then go to
Configuration properties -> Linker -> General

See there "Additional Library Directories". You need to change those too to point to your directory.

I then dropped the openssl dlls next to Tor executable.

I want you to know I changed the runtime to be non debug version as I don't needed to debug there so if you want to do it you need to somehow build them with debug symbols and take back debug build of tor to use debug runtime otherwise it won't link as the linker would find duplicated symbols.

Maybe the tree is unnecessary but ok there it goes.

Regards
Waldo
