Enable translations of the windows installer #52

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
As suggested in Issue 46, the installer needs translations too.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hmm... What installer engine is used? Did you think of using some kind of 
crossplatform installer like InstallJammer? (I know there are packages for 
Linux 
distributions, but you can never have them all, and an installer would help 
some 
ppl).

Anyway... how can I help on translating the installer?

Do you have any experience with translated NSI files (the installation system 
we are
talking about is NSIS)

I have the NSIS installer kind of working so I am not starting again with 
installjammer, 
although anyone is free to try :-)

@2 nope, but I figure all is needed here is a text editor to translate some 
strings. 
Or am I wrong?

open the nsi file and see for yourself, there are no string!

I am giving up on the windows installer, because I can't make it work on all 
machines (the 
damned vc_redist problem).

So, I'm disowning this issue, and hoping someone that knows about windows 
pakaging can 
help.

Can someone else please check it?
I can't install NSIS at all... (unless there is a version that works on Ubuntu)

Please check out the following example of adding multiple languages to NSIS:

Thanks for the link. I may spend some time on this tomorrow, but... there is a 
more 
pressing problem with the windows installer, in that it ony works for like 50% 
of the users 
because of problems with the visual studio runtime.

Are you compiling it using Visual Studio or mingw?
If you'll switch to mingw I don't think you'll have this problem

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I am using the official binaries that are made using Visual Studio.

I don't have the resources to rebuild everything with mingw (I have just a 
small windows 
VM)

The best IDEs for gcc compiling (to my opinion) are:
NetBeans, Eclipse, Code:Blocks, and Dev-C++/wxDev-C++ (wx is quite buggy, the 
other
one lacks many features in order to be a good IDE, Code:Blocks is much better,
NetBeans is one of the most professional IDEs i've ever seen, and Eclipse is 
very
heavy but relatively intuitive)

@6 why not just use a different installer? Try maybe installjammer.com - this 
shouldn't require visual studio libs (though it had some problems with non 
latin 
characters rendering a few versions back, I don't know if they fixed it yet).

The visual studio libs are reuired because the official python and pyqt 
binaries are built 
using Visual Studio.

If I was on your place I wouldn't ship python along with Marave, but leave it 
to the 
user to install all the dependencies.

@15, well, that would be just fine if I didn't want to have more than 5 Windows 
users ;-)
