Suggestion: Portable version #143

Closed wernight closed 11 years ago

wernight commented 11 years ago

A Windows portable version with LaTeX would be most useful. It's a suggestion, not a bug of course.

wernight commented 11 years ago

It seems it's already portable except the installer.

As for LaTeX there is MiKTeX and TeX Live which are both portable.

Only thing missing is the download.

fletcher commented 11 years ago

I don't want to get into maintaining a portable LaTeX installation and dealing with support questions for that (Why is this package not installed? Where do I install this LaTeX package? etc....)

As you note, MMD itself is portable - it's a simple single file binary with no external dependencies. I can put a link to a simple zipfile containing the binary and the .bat files (though I don't know if the batch files will work properly when run portably or not. If not, they can probably be modified fairly easily).

LaTeX/MiKTeK support may be quiet troublesome indeed.

I haven't looked at the batch. They could work but as I'm using msysgit usually they would not. They don't seem that important though. A zip with the executable (batch or not) would be nice indeed.

Bundled up a zipfile with the executable and batch files. Not sure if the batch files work like this or not.
