This is gpg4win - the GUI Installer Builder for W32. See also the file doc/README.en.txt. Instructions: ============= 1. Download the source and binary packages that are required to build the installer: $ cd packages $ sh download.sh [...] $ cd .. 2. Configure the source tree for cross compilation: $ ./autogen.sh --build-w32 3. Build the installer: $ make The installer will be made available in three files: src/gpg4win-X.Y.Z.exe src/gpg4win-light-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 (Lenny); due to a little bug in the mingw32 compiler it is highly suggested to put a line deb http://apt.intevation.org lenny/mingw . into /etc/apt/sources and update the mingw packages. To satisfy all needs of configure at least the following packages need to be installed: build-essential (libc6-dev, gcc, g++, make) automake, autoconf (if building from SVN) mingw32 nsis stow unzip texinfo imagemagick tetex-bin tetex-extra latex-xcolor (for the compendium) tr gs-common hyperlatex sharutils (uudecode for claws icon patch) gettext (msgfmt, dcgettext, gmsgfmt, xgettext for glib) libglib2.0-dev (glib-genmarshal for glib) docbook-utils, ghostscript (claws-mail manual) 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. Development Branches ==================== The old version of gpg4win (version < 1.2) is since 1.1.3 tracked by the SVN branch: branches/gpg4win-1-branch. Only important fixes will go into this version. The current version is in the SVN trunk starts as version 1.9 and will soon lead to version 2.0. 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 and add them to EXTRA_DIST in src/Makefile.am. 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 . Also add any required configure flags etc. 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. 7. If the package ships pkg-config (*.pc) support files, you need add post install instructions to Makefile.am. Note that *.pc files may be in the "runtime" directory ${pkgidir} if the package is built within gpg4win (or peculiarly shipped), or in the development package ${pkgidir_dev}. Then run the usual "./autogen.sh" to create the actual configure file and run configure as described above. Version numbers =============== We use a specific order of version numbers. This is best shown by an example: 1.0.0 - The final 1.0.0 release. 1.0.1-svn1234 - A snapshot based on SVN revision 1234 1.0.1-svn1235 - A newer snapshot 1.0.1rc1-svn1236 - A snapshot while preparing for a release candidate 1.0.1rc1 - The first release candidate for 1.0.1 1.0.1-svn1240 - yet another snapshot 1.0.1 - The final 1.0.1 release The important point is that we bump up the version number before we do an release and append a suffix to mark it as a development version. This allows other software to use a configure check for the next to be released version of gpg4win.
