How to build the installers? #270

Closed dten closed 5 years ago

dten commented 5 years ago

Trying to do a new version (of a fork) but it's not clear how one would go about creating the installers. I see NSIS and nsi.template files. Looks like some things are supposed to be replaced in the template and then nsis run on it but not had any luck. Pointers appreciated :)

@dten You need to run the build.bat / build-all.bat and build-package.bat (.sh ones if you're running them on linux)

dten commented 5 years ago

Ah thanks, that got further, nicely populated Dist directory now. Can't see how to actually call nsis properly though. i have tried

but i'm just prompted with a white box, which is more than before :)

which lead me to beleive it wants some relative path.

moved cctray.nsi to the root directory and it worked 👍

@dten I'm glad that you've sorted it out.

The build-package.bat should have created the installer. See target 'packageCCTray' in /Tools/ccnet-packaging.inc.build that's included in the main ccnet.build script.
