##Build instructions for Visual Studio 2013
###Prepare folder
Choose a folder for the future build, for example **D:\TBuild\** . There you will have two folders, **Libraries** for third-party libs and **tdesktop** (or **tdesktop-master** ) for the app.
###Clone source code
2014-05-30 12:09:53 +02:00
By git – Git Bash ](http://git-scm.com/downloads ) go to ** /d/tbuild** and run
2014-05-30 10:53:19 +02:00
git clone https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop.git
or download in ZIP and extract to **D:\TBuild\** , rename **tdesktop-master** to **tdesktop** to have **D:\TBuild\tdesktop\Telegram.sln** solution
###Prepare libraries
####OpenSSL 1.0.1g
https://www.openssl.org/related/binaries.html > **OpenSSL for Windows** > Download [**Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.1g** (16 Mb) ](http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_1g.exe )
Install to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\OpenSSL-Win32** , while installing **Copy OpenSSL DLLs to** choose **The OpenSSL binaries (/bin) directory**

####libexif 0.6.20
2014-05-30 12:09:53 +02:00
Get sources from https://github.com/telegramdesktop/libexif-0.6.20, by git – Git Bash ](http://git-scm.com/downloads ) go to ** /d/tbuild/libraries** and run
2014-05-30 10:53:19 +02:00
git clone https://github.com/telegramdesktop/libexif-0.6.20.git
or download in ZIP and extract to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\** , rename **libexif-0.6.20-master** to **libexif-0.6.20** to have **D:\TBuild\Libraries\libexif-0.6.20\win32\lib_exif.sln** solution
#####Building library
* Open in VS2013 **D:\TBuild\Libraries\libexif-0.6.20\win32\lib_exif.sln**
* Build Debug configuration
* Build Release configuration
####Qt 5.3.0, slightly patched
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.0/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.0.zip
Extract to **D:\TBuild\Libraries\** , rename **qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.3.0** to **QtStatic** to have **D:\TBuild\Libraries\QtStatic\qtbase\** folder

There go to Qt directory
D:
cd TBuild\Libraries\QtStatic
and after that run configure
configure -debug-and-release -opensource -static -opengl desktop -mp -nomake examples -platform win32-msvc2013
y
to configure Qt build. After configuration is complete run
nmake
nmake install
building (**nmake** command) will take really long time.
