This is gpg4win - the GUI Installer Builder for W32.


Instructions:
=============

1. Download the source and binary packages that are required to build
   the installer:

   $ cd packages
   $ sh download.sh
   [...]
   $ cd ..

   If you have downloaded gnupg-2.x, you need to rename that tarball.
   e.g.:
   
     mv gnupg-2.0.5.tar.bz2 gnupg2-2.0.5.tar.bz2

2. Configure the source tree for cross compilation:

   $ configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc

3. Build the installer:

   $ make

The installer will be made available in two files:

src/gpg4win-X.Y.Z.exe
src/gpg4win-src-X.Y.Z.exe


Basic requirements
==================

A decent POSIX system is required for building this software as well
as GNU make.  We are using Debian GNU/Linux (Sid), however it should
work with current Testing (as of Februar 2006) too.  It might work with
Sarge - this has not been tested.  To satisfy all needs of configure
at least the following packages need to be installed:

 mingw32
 nsis
 stow
 unzip
 texinfo
 imagemagick
 tetex-bin
 tetex-extra
 tr
 gs-common
 hyperlatex
 gettext (msgfmt, dcgettext, gmsgfmt, xgettext for glib)
 libglib2.0-dev (glib-genmarshal for glib)


Building the Webpages
=====================

This has not been automated.  See the README file in the doc/website
directory.  To build the HTML version of the manuals you need to go to
doc/manual-de, run the command "make webversion" and copy the require
files to the desired location.  If you are a developer with write
access to the Sibversion, you may use the "online" target to actually
update the website.


Adding new packages to the installer:
=====================================

This requires editing a couple of files; we might eventually automate
some of these tasks.  Here is a short run up:

1. Add constants for the package FOO into include/config.nsi.in .

2. Create 2 new installer scripts, named src/inst-foo.nsi and
   uninst-foo.nsi .

3. Add foo to one the variables gpg4win_bpgks (if foo should not be
   build be the gpg4win) or gpg4win_spkgs (if foo should be build by
   gpg4win) in src/Makefile.am

4. Add FOO to inst-sections.nsi.

5. Add detection of packages to configure.ac.  Check out the available
   macros in m4/gpg4win.m4.  Depending on the way an upstream package
   is packaged, you might need to write a new macro.

6. Add download information to packages/download.sh.

Then run the usual "./autogen.sh" to create the actual configure file
and run configure as described above.
