1 The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat |
|
2 jury-rigged fashion. |
|
3 |
|
4 It has the following prerequisites. Ensure to take the packages |
|
5 matching the mercurial version you want to build (32-bit or 64-bit). |
|
6 |
|
7 Python 2.6 for Windows |
|
8 http://www.python.org/download/releases/ |
|
9 |
|
10 A compiler: |
|
11 either MinGW |
|
12 http://www.mingw.org/ |
|
13 or Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Express Edition |
|

15 |
|
16 Python for Windows Extensions |

|
18 |
|
19 mfc71.dll (just download, don't install; not needed for Python 2.6) |
|
20 http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/ |
|
21 |
|
22 Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package (needed for >= Python 2.6 or if you compile with MSVC) |
|

25 for 64-bit: |

|
27 |
|
28 The py2exe distutils extension |
|
29 http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/ |
|
30 |
|
31 GnuWin32 gettext utility (if you want to build translations) |
|
32 http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gettext.htm |
|
33 |
|
34 Inno Setup |
|
35 http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php#qsp |
|
36 |
|
37 Get and install ispack-5.3.10.exe or later (includes Inno Setup Processor), |
|
38 which is necessary to package Mercurial. |
|
39 |
|
40 ISTool - optional |
|
41 http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/ |
|
42 |
|
43 add_path (you need only add_path.exe in the zip file) |
|
44 http://www.barisione.org/apps.html#add_path |
|
45 |
|
46 Docutils |
|
47 http://docutils.sourceforge.net/ |
|
48 |
|
49 CA Certs file |
|
50 http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem |
|
51 |
|
52 And, of course, Mercurial itself. |
|
53 |
|
54 Once you have all this installed and built, clone a copy of the |
|
55 Mercurial repository you want to package, and name the repo |
|
56 C:\hg\hg-release. |
|
57 |
|
58 In a shell, build a standalone copy of the hg.exe program. |
|
59 |
|
60 Building instructions for MinGW: |
|
61 python setup.py build -c mingw32 |
|
62 python setup.py py2exe -b 2 |
|
63 Note: the previously suggested combined command of "python setup.py build -c |
|
64 mingw32 py2exe -b 2" doesn't work correctly anymore as it doesn't include the |
|
65 extensions in the mercurial subdirectory. |
|
66 If you want to create a file named setup.cfg with the contents: |
|
67 [build] |
|
68 compiler=mingw32 |
|
69 you can skip the first build step. |
|
70 |
|
71 Building instructions with MSVC 2008 Express Edition: |
|
72 for 32-bit: |
|
73 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86 |
|
74 python setup.py py2exe -b 2 |
|
75 for 64-bit: |
|
76 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64 |
|
77 python setup.py py2exe -b 3 |
|
78 |
|
79 Copy add_path.exe and cacert.pem files into the dist directory that just got created. |
|
80 |
|
81 If you are using Python 2.6 or later, or if you are using MSVC 2008 to compile |
|
82 mercurial, you must include the C runtime libraries in the installer. To do so, |
|
83 install the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package. Then in your windows\winsxs |
|
84 folder, locate the folder containing the dlls version 9.0.21022.8. |
|
85 For x86, it should be named like x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.21022.8(...). |
|
86 For x64, it should be named like amd64_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.21022.8(...). |
|
87 Copy the files named msvcm90.dll, msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll into the dist |
|
88 directory. |
|
89 Then in the windows\winsxs\manifests folder, locate the corresponding manifest |
|
90 file (x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.21022.8(...).manifest for x86, |
|
91 amd64_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_(...)_9.0.21022.8(...).manifest for x64), copy it in the |
|
92 dist directory and rename it to Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest. |
|
93 |
|
94 Before building the installer, you have to build Mercurial HTML documentation |
|
95 (or fix mercurial.iss to not reference the doc directory): |
|
96 |
|
97 cd doc |
|
98 mingw32-make html |
|
99 cd .. |
|
100 |
|
101 If you use ISTool, you open the |
|
102 C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\packaging\inno\mercurial.iss |
|
103 file and type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file. |
|
104 |
|
105 Otherwise you run the Inno Setup compiler. Assuming it's in the path |
|
106 you should execute: |
|
107 |
|
108 iscc contrib\packaging\inno\mercurial.iss /dVERSION=foo |
|
109 |
|
110 Where 'foo' is the version number you would like to see in the |
|
111 'Add/Remove Applications' tool. The installer will be placed into |
|
112 a directory named Output/ at the root of your repository. |
|
113 If the /dVERSION=foo parameter is not given in the command line, the |
|
114 installer will retrieve the version information from the __version__.py file. |
|
115 |
|
116 If you want to build an installer for a 64-bit mercurial, add /dARCH=x64 to |
|
117 your command line: |
|
118 iscc contrib\packaging\inno\mercurial.iss /dARCH=x64 |
|
119 |
|
120 To automate the steps above you may want to create a batchfile based on the |
|
121 following (MinGW build chain): |
|
122 |
|
123 echo [build] > setup.cfg |
|
124 echo compiler=mingw32 >> setup.cfg |
|
125 python setup.py py2exe -b 2 |
|
126 cd doc |
|
127 mingw32-make html |
|
128 cd .. |
|
129 iscc contrib\packaging\inno\mercurial.iss /dVERSION=snapshot |
|
130 |
|
131 and run it from the root of the hg repository (c:\hg\hg-release). |
