  1. tar xjf ansifilter-x.x.tar.bz2
  2. cd ansifilter-x.x
  3. make help
  4. make
    make gui (optional, to build the Qt GUI)

Compilation instructions for Windows

a) Install Qt Creator IDE (www.qt.io)

b) Install MingW (gcc toolchain)

    -Download Online-Installer: 
    -Start mingw-w64-install.exe and select default options
    -Add bin directory of the downloaded files to the system PATH
    -open cmd.exe and type "g++ --version" to check

c) Compile Qt:

    -Download and extract package of qt.io -> qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.6.0.tar.gz
    -Open cmd.exe and change into the Qt directory
    -Configure Qt. Use static if you do not want to ship Qt DLLs. Ignore ld.gold crash message on Win10.
     configure -release -opensource -confirm-license -static  -qt-zlib -qt-pcre -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg \
               -qt-freetype -no-openssl -nomake examples -opengl  desktop
    -Compile Qt (set numbers of CPU cores after -j):
     mingw32-make -k -j4

d) Add compiler and Qt paths (location of qmake.exe) in QtCreator

e) Install upx

f) Open the pro files in src/w32-projects and src/gui-qt in 
   QtCreator and adjust the paths of libraries and tools. Assign the kit config to the projects.

g) Ship ansifilter with libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll (32 bit) libgcc_s_seh-1.dll (64 bit) libstdc++-6.dll libwinpthread-1.dll
   (these are located in the mingw32 installation).
