1 1 The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat
2 2 jury-rigged fashion.
3 3
4 4 It has the following prerequisites, at least as I build it:
5 5
6 6 Python for Windows
7 7 http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.3/python-2.4.3.msi
8 8
9 9 MinGW
10 10 http://www.mingw.org/
11 11
12 12 Python for Windows Extensions
13 13 http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
14 14
15 15 mfc71.dll (just download, don't install; not needed for Python 2.6)
16 16 http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/
17 17
18 18 Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package (needed for Python 2.6)
19 19 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en
20 20
21 21 The py2exe distutils extension
22 22 http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/
23 23
24 GnuWin32 gettext utility
25 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gettext.htm
26
24 27 Inno Setup
25 28 http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
26 29
27 30 ISTool - optional
28 31 http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/
29 32
30 33 add_path (you need only add_path.exe in the zip file)
31 34 http://www.barisione.org/apps.html#add_path
32 35
33 36 Asciidoc - optional
34 37 http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/
35 38
36 39 And, of course, Mercurial itself.
37 40
38 41 Once you have all this installed and built, clone a copy of the
39 42 Mercurial repository you want to package, and name the repo
40 43 C:\hg\hg-release.
41 44
42 45 In a shell, build a standalone copy of the hg.exe program:
43 46
44 47 python setup.py build -c mingw32
45 48 python setup.py py2exe -b 1
46 49
47 50 Note: the previously suggested combined command of "python setup.py build -c
48 51 mingw32 py2exe -b 1" doesn't work correctly anymore as it doesn't include the
49 52 extensions in the mercurial subdirectory.
50 53
51 54 If you want to create a file named setup.cfg with the contents:
52 55
53 56 [build]
54 57 compiler=mingw32
55 58
56 59 you can skip the first build step.
57 60
58 61 Copy add_path.exe into the dist directory that just got created.
59 62
60 63 If you are using Python up to version 2.5.4, copy mfc71.dll into the dist
61 64 directory that just got created.
62 65
63 66 If you are using Python 2.6 or later, after installing the Visual C++ 2008
64 67 redistributable package copy into the dist directory that just got created the
65 68 following files:
66 69 - from the directory starting with
67 70 Windows/WinSxS/x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8
68 71 the files named: msvcm90.dll, msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll
69 72 - from the directory starting with
70 73 Windows/WinSxS/x86_Microsoft.VC90.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8
71 74 the files named: mfc90.dll, mfc90u.dll, mfcm90.dll and mfcm90u.dll
72 75 - from the directory named Windows/WinSxS/Manifests, the manifest file
73 76 starting with x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8
74 77 (rename it to Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest) and the manifest file starting
75 78 with x86_Microsoft.VC90.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8 (rename it to
76 79 Microsoft.VC90.MFC.manifest)
77 80
78 81 Before building the installer, you have to build Mercurial HTML documentation
79 82 (or fix mercurial.iss to not reference the doc directory). Assuming you have an
80 83 "asciidoc.bat" batch file somewhere in your PATH:
81 84
82 85 cd doc
83 86 mingw32-make ASCIIDOC=asciidoc.bat html
84 87 cd ..
85 88
86 89 If you use ISTool, you open the C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\win32\mercurial.iss
87 90 file and type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file.
88 91
89 92 Otherwise you run the Inno Setup compiler. Assuming it's on the path you run:
90 93
91 94 iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss
92 95
93 96 The actual installer will be in the C:\hg\hg-release\Output directory.
94 97
95 98 To automate the steps above you may want to create a batchfile based on the
96 99 following:
97 100
98 101 echo [build] > setup.cfg
99 102 echo compiler=mingw32 >> setup.cfg
100 103 python setup.py py2exe -b 1
101 104 cd doc
102 105 mingw32-make ASCIIDOC=asciidoc.bat html
103 106 cd ..
104 107 iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss
105 108
106 109 and run it from the root of the hg repository (c:\hg\hg-release).
