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 for Windows http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.3/python-2.4.3.msi MinGW http://www.mingw.org/ 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) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en The py2exe distutils extension http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/ GnuWin32 gettext utility http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gettext.htm Inno Setup http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php#qsp Get and install ispack-5.3.4.exe which 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/ 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: python setup.py build -c mingw32 python setup.py py2exe -b 1 Note: the previously suggested combined command of "python setup.py build -c mingw32 py2exe -b 1" 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. 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, after installing the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package copy into the dist directory that just got created the following files: - from the directory starting with Windows/WinSxS/x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8 the files named: msvcm90.dll, msvcp90.dll and msvcr90.dll - from the directory starting with Windows/WinSxS/x86_Microsoft.VC90.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8 the files named: mfc90.dll, mfc90u.dll, mfcm90.dll and mfcm90u.dll - from the directory named Windows/WinSxS/Manifests, the manifest file starting with x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8 (rename it to Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest) and the manifest file starting with x86_Microsoft.VC90.MFC_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_9.0.21022.8 (rename it to Microsoft.VC90.MFC.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. To automate the steps above you may want to create a batchfile based on the following: echo [build] > setup.cfg echo compiler=mingw32 >> setup.cfg python setup.py py2exe -b 1 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).
