This file is about the instructions to build (and use) pacparser on Windows. For general information on pacparser, please have a look at README in the same directory.

Building pacparser on Windows:

  • Install MinGW64 tools through msys2.

  • Rename mingw32-make.exe to make.exe.

    rename C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\mingw32-make.exe C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\make.exe

  • Add your MinGW directory's bin (C:\msys64\mingw64\bin) to your system path variable.

  • Install latest python. You'll need it to build the python module.

  • Git-clone the pacparser source code, or download the source code tarball from the releases page, and extract it somewhere, say C:\workspace.

  • Compile pacparser and create ditribution.

    cd C:\workspace\pacparser-*
make -C src -f Makefile.win32 dist

  • Compile pacparser python module and copy required files to a directory (dist).

    make -C src -f Makefile.win32 pymod-3.9

  • Compile pacparser python module and copy required files to a directory (dist).

    make -C src -f Makefile.win32 pymod-dist-3.9

Using pacparser on Windows:

In C programs:

Make sure that you have pacparser.dll in the sytem path somewhere (current directory would do just fine for testing purpose).

  Change to your program's directory:
  =>  cd c:\workspace\pacparser-1.3.8\examples
  
  Copy pacparser.dll here and compile your program:
  => gcc -o pactest pactest.c -lpacparser -L.
  
  Run your program:
  => pactest wpad.dat http://www.google.com www.google.com
  'PROXY proxy1.manugarg.com:3128; PROXY proxy2.manugarg.com:3128; DIRECT'

In python programs:

Install pacparser python module by running install.py in the distribution folder. You'll then be able to use pacparser python module in the following manner:

  => python
  >>> import pacparser
  >>> pacparser.init()
  >>> pacparser.parse_pac('examples/wpad.dat')
  >>> pacparser.find_proxy('http://www.google.com', 'www.google.com')
  'PROXY proxy1.manugarg.com:3128; PROXY proxy2.manugarg.com:3128; DIRECT'
  >>> pacparser.cleanup()
