# HG changeset patch # User Gregory Szorc # Date 2015-12-04 08:24:48 # Node ID ed1660ce99d90bb9b3ef7e0a85072f734e0d51ad # Parent d6859d86a5d56a245b271574feac1548bb9337ab setup.py: attempt to build and install hg.exe on Windows Currently, packaging Mercurial on Windows will produce a Scripts\hg Python script and a Scripts\hg.bat batch script. The py2exe distribution contains a hg.exe which loads a Python interpretter and invokes the "hg" Python script. Running a exe directly has benefits over batch scripts because batch scripts do things like muck around with command arguments. This patch implements a custom "build_scripts" command which attempts to build hg.exe on Windows. If hg.exe is built, it is marked as a "script" file and installed into the Scripts\ directory on Windows. Since hg.exe is redundant and better than hg.bat, if hg.exe is built, hg.bat is not installed. Since some environments don't support compiling C programs, we treat hg.exe as optional and catch failures building it. This is not ideal. However, I reckon most Windows users will not be installing Mercurial from source: they will get it from the MSI installer or via `pip install Mercurial`, which will download a wheel that has hg.exe in it. So, I don't think this is a big deal. diff --git a/setup.py b/setup.py --- a/setup.py +++ b/setup.py @@ -79,11 +79,16 @@ from distutils.dist import Distribution from distutils.command.build import build from distutils.command.build_ext import build_ext from distutils.command.build_py import build_py +from distutils.command.build_scripts import build_scripts from distutils.command.install_lib import install_lib from distutils.command.install_scripts import install_scripts from distutils.spawn import spawn, find_executable from distutils import file_util -from distutils.errors import CCompilerError, DistutilsExecError +from distutils.errors import ( + CCompilerError, + DistutilsError, + DistutilsExecError, +) from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_inc, get_config_var from distutils.version import StrictVersion @@ -102,6 +107,7 @@ elif sys.version_info[0] >= 3: scripts = ['hg'] if os.name == 'nt': + # We remove hg.bat if we are able to build hg.exe. scripts.append('contrib/win32/hg.bat') # simplified version of distutils.ccompiler.CCompiler.has_function @@ -304,6 +310,31 @@ class hgbuildext(build_ext): log.warn("Failed to build optional extension '%s' (skipping)", ext.name) +class hgbuildscripts(build_scripts): + def run(self): + if os.name != 'nt': + return build_scripts.run(self) + + exebuilt = False + try: + self.run_command('build_hgexe') + exebuilt = True + except (DistutilsError, CCompilerError): + log.warn('failed to build optional hg.exe') + + if exebuilt: + # Copying hg.exe to the scripts build directory ensures it is + # installed by the install_scripts command. + hgexecommand = self.get_finalized_command('build_hgexe') + dest = os.path.join(self.build_dir, 'hg.exe') + self.mkpath(self.build_dir) + self.copy_file(hgexecommand.hgexepath, dest) + + # Remove hg.bat because it is redundant with hg.exe. + self.scripts.remove('contrib/win32/hg.bat') + + return build_scripts.run(self) + class hgbuildpy(build_py): if convert2to3: fixer_names = sorted(set(getfixers("lib2to3.fixes") + @@ -389,6 +420,11 @@ class buildhgexe(build_ext): libraries=[], output_dir=self.build_temp) + @property + def hgexepath(self): + dir = os.path.dirname(self.get_ext_fullpath('dummy')) + return os.path.join(self.build_temp, dir, 'hg.exe') + class hginstalllib(install_lib): ''' This is a specialization of install_lib that replaces the copy_file used @@ -473,6 +509,7 @@ cmdclass = {'build': hgbuild, 'build_mo': hgbuildmo, 'build_ext': hgbuildext, 'build_py': hgbuildpy, + 'build_scripts': hgbuildscripts, 'build_hgextindex': buildhgextindex, 'install_lib': hginstalllib, 'install_scripts': hginstallscripts,
