How to build PhantomJS 1.5 for Windows ?

[j...@webmaster.ms]

Hi.

I wanted to make some patches in my installation of PhantomJS, but I
have a problem with building PhantomJS.
There is a manual at http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/ReleasePreparation
but it seems outdated, because Qt now resides under PhantomJS source
tree.

Can anybody provide me with fresh information on how to build recent
PhantomJS on Windows ?
MinGW or MSVC, does not matter.

Thanks.

[Ariya Hidayat]

For Windows build, you may want to check out Alessandro's repo:
https://github.com/aportale/phantomjs.

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance yet to pick all his fixes for the
Windows build. Hopefully before 1.6.


Thank you!

Regards,

Hi,

I tried to compile imported QT source on windows 7 using Visual Studio 2010

Source code : https://github.com/aportale/phantomjs.git 

Branch : windows-build

Steps : 

1. download the sourcecode from mentioned git repository and branch
2. Install necessary VS2010 patch, SP1 as mentioned in http://briolidz.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/compiling-qt-with-visual-studio-2010/
3. Install Active Perl
4. Open VS2010 command prompt and navigate to location <aportale phantomjs code>\src\qt
5. configure -debug-and-release -opensource -shared -platform win32-msvc2010
6. nmake

Errors on "configure" command

Unable to find file for inclusion doc\doc.pri

Qmake failed, return code 3

Reading C:/HARDDISK/PHANTOMJS_windows_build/alessandro/phantomjs/src/qt/demos Qmake failed, return code 3

Errors on "nmake" command

Creating library ..\..\lib\QtGui4.lib and object ..\..\lib\QtGui4.exp

mt.exe -nologo -manifest "tmp\obj\release_shared\QtGui.intermediate.manifest" -outputresource:..\..\lib\QtGui4.dll;2

copy /y "..\..\lib\QtGui4.dll" ..\..\bin 1 file(s) copied. cd src\qt3support\ && "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\BIN\nmake.exe" -f Makefile Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 10.00.40219.01 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'qt3support.pro' Stop. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2' Stop.

I am not sure if the build steps I followed are correct, I could not find any discussion with proper build steps.

If there is a link to proper build step, kindly provide the link.

Most likely you didn't follow it correctly, I suggest looking at
Alessandro's commit
https://github.com/aportale/phantomjs/commit/5a4c71b3d and analyze it.

[Aries Beltran]

Try using Alessandro's preconfig.cmd to set the proper configure arguments. There are modules needed to skip like qt3support.

[Priyanka Gupta]

Yes I figured out that some modules need to be disabled in the QT build, but I read in other discussions that phantomJS windows libraries are generated using mingw (cross compilation env) so I am trying out the same on MAC, will update the results here.

But i was looking for a way to compile and generate the libs/dlls on windows machine itself.

[Priyanka Gupta]

Finally Built the phantomjs qt source on windows using VS2010.....(without open SSL)

Source code : https://github.com/aportale/phantomjs.git 

Branch : windows-build

Environment : Visual Studio 2010

STEPS :

1. Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1.
   
2. For x64 users, it is recommended to download and install this patch for Visual Studio 2010, if it is not already up-to-date
3. Install Active Perl
4. Set up environmental variables
   QTDIR=<phantomjs_srcDir>\src\qt
QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2010
   
5. Update PATH variable to include %QTDIR%\bin

6. Modify the <phantomjs_srcDir>\src\qt\preconfig.cmd
• set QT_CFG=%QT_CFG% -debug-and-release
• set QT_CFG=%QT_CFG% -platform win32-msvc2010
• comment OPENSSL related configuration as it has hard-coded path and will not work if you don't have openssl code
7. Start Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt:
Start > Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 > Visual Studio Tools > Visual Studio Command Prompt.

8. .\preconfig.cmd

OUTPUT :

• <phantomjs_srcDir>\src\qt\bin\*
  
• <phantomjs_srcDir>\src\qt\lib\*
  
• parallel to <phantomjs_srcDir>  
• JavaScriptCore\release\*
  
• WebCore\release\*
  

But how do we generate phantomjs.exe on windows machine ??

PG

[Alessandro Portale]

Thanks, Your listing of steps is great! I will try to find the time document the steps necessary for OpenSsl, and combine that with your list.

In order to build phantomjs, try

 - cd <phantomjs_srcDir>

 - src\qt\bin\qmake -r

 - nmake

[Jamie Black]

I have followed the instructions and it seems to have successfully compiled Qt. When I try and execute nmake in the phantamjs_src dir  i get an error as there is no makefie. I'm on windows 7. Any ideas?

You do not have to compile OpenSSL, there are pre-compiled libs here:
http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Be sure you use openssl-1.0.0.
It is impossible to link phantomjs against openssl-0.9.8.
As for openssl-1.0.1, it is possible to build phantomjs against it,
but it will not able to connect to some https-sites (https://
www.derwesten.de/, https://www.strato-pro.com/ger/, ...)

AFAIK those "installers" will provide a shared library to link to and not static libraries, required to produce standalone PhantomJS executable.

[Alessandro Portale]

That looks indeed promising. The src/qt/preconfig.cmd may have to be adapted to the library names with the "MT". Thanks for the tip.

[Andrew Groom]

Hi All,

I'm in need of a phantom build with SSL for Windows 7 and I was hoping that someone would have built this already and have a download I could grab from somewhere :-) Any offers? Also, is there a reason why SSL support is not built in by default? Great tool, btw, keep up the good work!

Cheers, Andrew.

[James Greene]

Andrew:
SSL support is built into PhantomJS 1.8, which will be released on Dec. 21st (winter solstice).

Awesome, thanks James!

[Ariya Hidayat]

Did you try 1.7.0 Windows binary? If its SSL support failed, can you
share some details? Thanks.

I'm trying  to capture the google map drawn in <div> as a image and want to use that image as a report with pdf and  excel sheets. Is it possible to achieve the same  with PhantomJS? If you are aware of any other technics , please do share with me.

Thanks n regards
