The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat
|
|
|
jury-rigged fashion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It has the following prerequisites. Ensure to take the packages
|
|
|
matching the mercurial version you want to build (32-bit or 64-bit).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python 2.6 for Windows
|
|
|
http://www.python.org/download/releases/
|
|
|
|
|
|
A compiler:
|
|
|
either MinGW
|
|
|
http://www.mingw.org/
|
|
|
or Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Express Edition
|
|
|
http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/Download-2008.aspx
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python for Windows Extensions
|
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
|
|
|
|
|
|
mfc71.dll (just download, don't install; not needed for Python 2.6)
|
|
|
http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package (needed for >= Python 2.6 or if you compile with MSVC)
|
|
|
for 32-bit:
|
|
|
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf
|
|
|
for 64-bit:
|
|
|
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=bd2a6171-e2d6-4230-b809-9a8d7548c1b6
|
|
|
|
|
|
The py2exe distutils extension
|
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/
|
|
|
|
|
|
GnuWin32 gettext utility (if you want to build translations)
|
|
|
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gettext.htm
|
|
|
|
|
|
Inno Setup
|
|
|
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php#qsp
|
|
|
|
|
|
Get and install ispack-5.3.10.exe or later (includes Inno Setup Processor),
|
|
|
which is necessary to package Mercurial.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ISTool - optional
|
|
|
http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/
|
|
|
|
|
|
add_path (you need only add_path.exe in the zip file)
|
|
|
http://www.barisione.org/apps.html#add_path
|
|
|
|
|
|
Docutils
|
|
|
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/
|
|
|
|
|
|
CA Certs file
|
|
|
http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building instructions for MinGW:
|
|
|
python setup.py build -c mingw32
|
|
|
python setup.py py2exe -b 2
|
|
|
Note: the previously suggested combined command of "python setup.py build -c
|
|
|
mingw32 py2exe -b 2" doesn't work correctly anymore as it doesn't include the
|
|
|
extensions in the mercurial subdirectory.
|
|
|
If you want to create a file named setup.cfg with the contents:
|
|
|
[build]
|
|
|
compiler=mingw32
|
|
|
you can skip the first build step.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building instructions with MSVC 2008 Express Edition:
|
|
|
for 32-bit:
|
|
|
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86
|
|
|
python setup.py py2exe -b 2
|
|
|
for 64-bit:
|
|
|
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64
|
|
|
python setup.py py2exe -b 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy add_path.exe and cacert.pem files into the dist directory that just got created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using Python up to version 2.5.4, copy mfc71.dll into the dist
|
|
|
directory that just got created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are using Python 2.6 or later, or if you are using MSVC 2008 to compile
|
|
|
mercurial, you must include the C runtime libraries in the installer. To do so,
|
|
|
install the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package. Then in your windows\winsxs
|
|
|
folder, locate the folder containing the dlls version 9.0.21022.8.
|
|
|
For x86, it should be named like x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.21022.8(...).
|
|
|
For x64, it should be named like amd64_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.21022.8(...).
|
|
|
Copy the files named msvcm90.dll, msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll into the dist
|
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
Then in the windows\winsxs\manifests folder, locate the corresponding manifest
|
|
|
file (x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.21022.8(...).manifest for x86,
|
|
|
amd64_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.21022.8(...).manifest for x64), copy it in the
|
|
|
dist directory and rename it to Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before building the installer, you have to build Mercurial HTML documentation
|
|
|
(or fix mercurial.iss to not reference the doc directory):
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd doc
|
|
|
mingw32-make html
|
|
|
cd ..
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 in the path
|
|
|
you should execute:
|
|
|
|
|
|
iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss /dVERSION=foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
Where 'foo' is the version number you would like to see in the
|
|
|
'Add/Remove Applications' tool. The installer will be placed into
|
|
|
a directory named Output/ at the root of your repository.
|
|
|
If the /dVERSION=foo parameter is not given in the command line, the
|
|
|
installer will retrieve the version information from the __version__.py file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to build an installer for a 64-bit mercurial, add /dARCH=x64 to
|
|
|
your command line:
|
|
|
iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss /dARCH=x64
|
|
|
|
|
|
To automate the steps above you may want to create a batchfile based on the
|
|
|
following (MinGW build chain):
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo [build] > setup.cfg
|
|
|
echo compiler=mingw32 >> setup.cfg
|
|
|
python setup.py py2exe -b 2
|
|
|
cd doc
|
|
|
mingw32-make html
|
|
|
cd ..
|
|
|
iscc contrib\win32\mercurial.iss /dVERSION=snapshot
|
|
|
|
|
|
and run it from the root of the hg repository (c:\hg\hg-release).
|
|
|
