r1291 | The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat | ||
jury-rigged fashion. | ||||
It has the following prerequisites, at least as I build it: | ||||
Python for Windows | ||||
|
r4401 | http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.3/python-2.4.3.msi | ||
|
r1291 | |||
MinGW | ||||
http://www.mingw.org/ | ||||
Python for Windows Extensions | ||||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ | ||||
mfc71.dll (just download, don't install) | ||||
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/ | ||||
The py2exe distutils extension | ||||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/ | ||||
Inno Setup | ||||
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php | ||||
|
r4401 | ISTool - optional | ||
|
r1291 | http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/ | ||
|
r2384 | add_path (you need only add_path.exe in the zip file) | ||
http://www.barisione.org/apps.html#add_path | ||||
|
r1291 | And, of course, Mercurial itself. | ||
Once you have all this installed and built, clone a copy of the | ||||
Mercurial repository you want to package, and name the repo | ||||
C:\hg\hg-release. | ||||
In a shell, build a standalone copy of the hg.exe program: | ||||
|
r4401 | python setup.py build -c mingw32 | ||
python setup.py py2exe -b 1 | ||||
Note: the previously suggested combined command of "python setup.py build -c | ||||
mingw32 py2exe -b 1" doesn't work correctly anymore as it doesn't include the | ||||
extensions in the mercurial subdirectory. | ||||
|
r1291 | |||
|
r4401 | If you want to create a file named setup.cfg with the contents: | ||
[build] | ||||
compiler=mingw32 | ||||
you can skip the first build step. | ||||
Copy mfc71.dll and add_path.exe into the dist directory that just got created. | ||||
|
r1291 | |||
|
r4401 | If you use ISTool, you open the C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\win32\mercurial.iss | ||
file and type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file. | ||||
Otherwise you run the Inno Setup compiler. Assuming it's on the path you run: | ||||
iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss | ||||
The actual installer will be in the C:\hg\hg-release\Output directory. | ||||
|
r1291 | |||
|
r4401 | To automate the steps above you may want to create a batchfile based on the | ||
following: | ||||
echo [build] > setup.cfg | ||||
echo compiler=mingw32 >> setup.cfg | ||||
python setup.py py2exe -b 1 | ||||
iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss | ||||
and run it from the root of the hg repository (c:\hg\hg-release). | ||||
