PhantomJS (www.phantomjs.org) is a headless WebKit scriptable with JavaScript. It is used by hundreds of developers and dozens of organizations for web-related development workflow.

This fork is a recipe for building phantomjs for windows x86 using Visual Studio 2012 tool chain.

See https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs for original.

Windows-binaries in bin-win32 is based on phantomjs/master-branch cloned 17.12.2014 at 1pm.

PREREQUISITES

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (or Express) with Visual C++ : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34673
• Perl 5.20.x : http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads
• Python 2.7.x: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-279/
• Ruby 1.9.x: http://dl.bintray.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/rubyinstaller-1.9.3-p551.exe?direct
• Git 1.9.x: http://git-scm.com/download/win

PREBUILD ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS

• Start-Run "Developer Command Prompt for VS2012"

"%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat" 

• Set Visual Studio compiler variables:

"%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"

• Add perl, python, ruby and git to path (NOTE: Paths must be in this particular order with git last due to version conflict with GIT/PERL)

SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Perl64\bin;C:\Python27;C:\Ruby193\bin;%programfiles(x86)%\Git\bin;

• Set ssl-info for git, if needed for git clone:

git config --system http.sslcainfo "%programfiles(x86)%\Git\bin\curl-ca-bundle.crt"

• Add QT specific build parameters - Adjust according to location of your git repo

SET SQLITE3SRCDIR=C:\GIT\phantomjs-build\src\qt\qtbase\src\3rdparty\sqlite
SET QMAKESPEC=win32-msvc2012

• Change build.cmd to set which tool chain to use: (NOTE: Currently master branch is msvc2012, see: https://github.com/Vitallium/phantomjs-3rdparty-win)

build.cmd:10 set 3RD_PARTY_LIBRARIES_REPO_BRANCH=master 
build.cmd:13  set 3RD_PARTY_LIBRARIES_REPO_BRANCH=msvc2012_debug

BUILD

Run 'build.cmd' which will run for 2-4 hours depending on your computing power.

AFTER BUILD - BEFORE RUNNING

In order for your custom phantomjs master build to run the following must be installed and available at runtime:

• OpenSSL (i.e. Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.1j) from http://slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL-1_0_1j.exe Make sure you select option to copy binaries to windows system directory
• Microsoft Visual C++ redist 2012 x86: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679
• Microsoft Visual C++ redist 2012 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679

NOTE: Before running phantomjs custom built binary for the first time: Start a new command prompt for openssl to load properly.
