fsmonitor: refresh pywatchman with upstream This commit vendors pywatchman commit 259dc66dc9591f9b7ce76d0275bb1065f390c9b1 from upstream without modifications. The previously vendored pywatchman from changeset 16f4b341288d was from Git commit c77452. This commit effectively undoes the following Mercurial changesets: * dd35abc409ee fsmonitor: correct an error message * b1f62cd39b5c fsmonitor: layer on another hack in bser.c for os.stat() compat (issue5811) * c31ce080eb75 py3: convert arguments, cwd and env to native strings when spawning subprocess * 876494fd967d cleanup: delete lots of unused local variables * 57264906a996 watchman: add the possibility to set the exact watchman binary location The newly-vendored code has support for specifying the binary location, so 57264906a996 does not need applied. But we do need to modify our code to specify a proper argument name. 876494fd967d is not important, so it will be ignored. c31ce080eb75 globally changed the code base to always pass str to subprocess. But pywatchman's code is Python 3 clean, so we don't need to do this. This leaves dd35abc409ee and b1f62cd39b5c, which will be re-applied in subsequent commits.

Requirements

Building the Inno installer requires a Windows machine.

The following system dependencies must be installed:

Building

The build.py script automates the process of producing an Inno installer. It manages fetching and configuring the non-system dependencies (such as py2exe, gettext, and various Python packages).

The script requires an activated Visual C++ 2008 command prompt. A shortcut to such a prompt was installed with Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7. From your Start Menu, look for Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler Package for Python 2.7 then launch either Visual C++ 2008 32-bit Command Prompt or Visual C++ 2008 64-bit Command Prompt.

From the prompt, change to the Mercurial source directory. e.g. cd c:\src\hg.

Next, invoke build.py to produce an Inno installer. You will need to supply the path to the Python interpreter to use.:

$ python3.exe contrib\packaging\inno\build.py \
    --python c:\python27\python.exe

Note

The script validates that the Visual C++ environment is active and that the architecture of the specified Python interpreter matches the Visual C++ environment and errors if not.

If everything runs as intended, dependencies will be fetched and configured into the build sub-directory, Mercurial will be built, and an installer placed in the dist sub-directory. The final line of output should print the name of the generated installer.

Additional options may be configured. Run build.py --help to see a list of program flags.

MinGW

It is theoretically possible to generate an installer that uses MinGW. This isn't well tested and build.py and may properly support it. See old versions of this file in version control for potentially useful hints as to how to achieve this.
