I have the same isssue. What I already found out:

after the installation of all dependencies using vcpkg i had to run the following command to integrate them into Visual Studio.

vcpkg integrate install

Currenty i have still some issues with glib on Windows.

Additionally the Script build-mssi-vs.py under seafile/scripts/build shows some more Informations.

QT has to be at Versio 5.15.1 and not 5.13.1
A Code Sigining Certificat has to be in place
wix has to be installed under C:\wix\bin

Code from Script

CERTFILE = “C:/certs/seafile.pfx”

QT_DIR = “C:/Qt/Qt5.15.1/5.15.1/msvc2019_64”

WIX_BIN = “C:/wix/bin”

OPENSSL_DIR = “C:/packagelib”

I hope someone from Seafile can clarify the issues and update the Documentation.

I made some Progress butt didn’t managed it to build windows.

Install VS Studio 2019 in English (important)
Install Wix
Install Parafin
Install vcpkg
Install QT 5.15.1 not 5.13.1

Installing third-party libraries

Install packages

vcpkg.exe install glib:x64-windows curl[core,openssl]:x64-windows openssl:x64-windows libevent:x64-windows jansson:x64-windows sqlite3:x64-windows pthreads:x64-windows getopt-win32:x64-windows

Make installed packages available user-wide

vcpkg integrate install

Copy Glib-2.0 Folder to VS2019 include Folder

Source: \vcpkg\packages\glib_x64-windows\include\glib-2.0
Destination C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\include

Copy Glib.h File to VS2019 include Folder

Source: \vcpkg\packages\glib_x64-windows\include\glib-2.0\glib.h
Destination C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\include
##Copy Glibconfig.h to VS2019 include Folder
Source: \vcpkg\packages\glib_x64-windows\lib\glib-2.0\include\glibconfig.h
Destination:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\include

After That the Build Process starts without dependency issues and run for some time

python build-msi-vs.py 8.0.5

Then i get the following error:

Hi,
Do you already have seen the updated build manual?
https://manual.seafile.com/build_seafile/windows/

maybe @Jonathan can keep an eye on the seafile error

I see a problem with this line from you @bosborus
vcpkg.exe install glib:x64-windows curl[core,openssl]:x64-windows openssl:x64-windows
You are installing the latest openssl version (3.X)
But according to the manual we should use 1.1.

bosborus · September 7, 2022, 2:35pm

@daniel.pan @feiniks

i still got issues building seafile from source. following your documentation Windows - Seafile Admin Manual

It’s not clear what library versions we need to install with vcpkg

you say:

Third-party libraries include: glib, curl, openssl(version1.1.1d), openssl-windows(version1.1.1d-1), libevent, jansson, sqlite3, pthreads, getopt-win32

But your command only include the following components which will install latest openssl version

Install example：vcpkg.exe install curl[core,openssl]:x64-windows

I try to install all the libraries with the following command

vcpkg.exe install glib:x64-windows curl[core,openssl]:x64-windows openssl:x64-windows libevent:x64-windows jansson:x64-windows sqlite3:x64-windows pthreads:x64-windows getopt-win32:x64-windows

Additionally i had to copy multiple files form Glib to different folder to fix some issues (see my previous post)

Especially Building Breakpad is just a Pain on Windows. Cloud you please provide us a compiled version of all your dependencies in a zipped folder, so we don’t need to build them again and run in multiple issues?

Edit: I found a solution for Breakpad. I just Downloaded the latest Version from here which works without issues.

Thank you very much!

Just as an Update:

I made some progress. It would be great, if you could mention in the manaual that we need to install the qt webengine module as well in the correct version.

Currently I get a lot of errors of Visual Studio all with the same proble. do you have any advice?

@daniel.pan @feiniks any reply to my issue?

feiniks · September 27, 2022, 9:25am

Hello, I think you should use the latest tag of seafile, seafile-client and libsearpc. Then you can rebuild it.

bosborus · October 11, 2022, 12:06pm

@feiniks thank you for your sugestion. now ive pulled 8.0.8 and try to build it.

cd libsearpc
git pull origin master:master
git reset v3.2-latest --hard

cd …/seafile-client
git pull origin master:master
git reset v8.0.8 --hard

cd …/seafile-shell-ext
git pull origin master:master
git reset v8.0.8 --hard

cd …/seafile
git pull origin master:master
git reset v8.0.8 --hard

cd scripts/build
python build-msi-vs.py 8.0.8

Now I get the following errors:

Do you have any advice?

The full Log you can get from here: https://office.speicherbox.ch/f/af46c89db0374a1798e5/

Hello, the tag of libsearpc has been updated. You need to update the local tag and include the commit " Add support c++ compile (#60)".

bosborus · November 7, 2022, 3:34pm

@feiniks thank you very much for your support. I finally made it and installed all requirements and build the Client with all necessary components. I supose you to update the documentation with the following points.

Install Visual Studio 2019 Community including the following modules:
- MSVC v142 Build Tools
- C++ 2019 Redistributable-MSMs
Add the full Command to install all the vcpkg libraries
Link to the precompiled breakpad source under https://github.com/getsentry/breakpad-tools
Update the Version of your client to the latest tag

Additionally, I just got one more Question:

How can I rename Windows Explorer Context Menu so it fits the name of my Custom App?

Thank you very much!

Exciting news. Are there detailed steps for installing and deploying the environment? The official writing is not detailed

bosborus · November 14, 2022, 7:03am

Hello @demo, I wrote all my changes and steps into this topic. It took me about 3 months trial and error until I got all running. I will try to reinstall everything in a new VM until end of Year and document everything step by step.

bosborus · November 16, 2022, 2:52pm

Just as an Update:

I had to edit “C:\src\seafile-shell-ext\extensions\context-menu.cpp” Line 29

const char *kMainMenuNameSeafile =

After the Build and Installation of the new Setup, the Computer need a Reboot to take the new Value.

Thank you for your work and look forward to the complete study course
