win32: 64-bit Inno Setup installer

12262:df5386ae41b9

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 2.6 for Windows
      http://www.python.org/download/releases/

  A compiler:

  mfc71.dll (just download, don't install; not needed for Python 2.6)
      http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/

  Visual C++ 2008 SP1 redistributable package (needed for >= Python 2.6 or if you compile with MSVC)
      http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2
      
  The py2exe distutils extension
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/

  GnuWin32 gettext utility (if you want to build translations)

[build]
compiler=mingw32
you can skip the first build step.

Building instructions with MSVC 2008 SP1 Express Edition:
  python setup.py py2exe -b 2

Copy add_path.exe 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 SP1 redistributable package. Then in your
windows\winsxs folder, locate the folder containing the dlls version 9.0.30729.
For x86, it should be named like x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.30729(...).
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_(...)_9.0.30729(...).manifest for x86), 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

'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.

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

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:

  mfc71.dll (just download, don't install; not needed for Python 2.6)
      http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/

  Visual C++ 2008 SP1 redistributable package (needed for >= Python 2.6 or if you compile with MSVC)
    for 32-bit:
      http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2
    for 64-bit:
      http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=BA9257CA-337F-4B40-8C14-157CFDFFEE4E
      
  The py2exe distutils extension
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/

  GnuWin32 gettext utility (if you want to build translations)

[build]
compiler=mingw32
you can skip the first build step.

Building instructions with MSVC 2008 SP1 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 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 SP1 redistributable package. Then in your
windows\winsxs folder, locate the folder containing the dlls version 9.0.30729.
For x86, it should be named like x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.30729(...).
For x64, it should be named like amd64_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.30729(...).
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_(...)_9.0.30729(...).manifest for x86,
amd64_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.30729(...).manifest for x64), copy it in the
dist directory and rename it to Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest.

(or fix mercurial.iss to not reference the doc directory):

  cd doc

'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
