| 1 The standalone Windows installer for Mercurial is built in a somewhat | |
| 2 jury-rigged fashion. | |
| 3 | |
| 4 It has the following prerequisites, at least as I build it: | |
| 5 | |
| 6 Python for Windows | |
| 7 http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.1/python-2.4.1.msi | |
| 8 | |
| 9 MinGW | |
| 10 http://www.mingw.org/ | |
| 11 | |
| 12 Python for Windows Extensions | |
| 13 http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/ | |
| 14 | |
| 15 mfc71.dll (just download, don't install) | |
| 16 http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/ | |
| 17 | |
| 18 The py2exe distutils extension | |
| 19 http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/ | |
| 20 | |
| 21 Inno Setup | |
| 22 http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php | |
| 23 | |
| 24 ISTool | |
| 25 http://www.istool.org/default.aspx/ | |
| 26 | |
| 27 And, of course, Mercurial itself. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 Once you have all this installed and built, clone a copy of the | |
| 30 Mercurial repository you want to package, and name the repo | |
| 31 C:\hg\hg-release. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 In a shell, build a standalone copy of the hg.exe program: | |
| 34 | |
| 35 python setup.py build -c mingw32 py2exe -b 1 | |
| 36 | |
| 37 Copy mfc71.dll into the dist directory that just got created. | |
| 38 | |
| 39 Run ISTool, and open the C:\hg\hg-release\contrib\win32\mercurial.iss | |
| 40 file. | |
| 41 | |
| 42 In ISTool, type Ctrl-F9 to compile the installer file. The actual | |
| 43 installer will be in the C:\hg\hg-release\Output directory. |
