The scripts in this directory are intended to create a full package of greater
for Windows installation.

Prerequisites:
NSIS installed
Depends.exe in your %PATH%

These scripts are developed and optimized for usage on a Windows System,
with some editing (removing the dependency to depends.exe) it should
also be possible to use them on Linux.

To create the installer you need to create a directory tree in the following
way:

Make shure that pydagreater can be loaded and all nececessary dependencies
are in GREAT-ER-DB/GreaterDB

/ < this is usually your emerge root directory

/bin/Administration.exe
...
....
/greater/GREAT-ER
/greater/GREAT-ER-DB
/greater/packaging

In the packaging directory you have to put external packages like Postgres
and the redistributable packages of the msvc runtime.
The redistributable packages should be named:
vcredist_x86.exe    (For vc9 runtime)
vcredist-80_x86.exe (For vc8 runtime)
Both are obtainable from microsoft.com and may be redistributed as part
of an installer package.

Python is expected to live in /greater/python and will be packaged
as "is" from there.

To package the greater_pre_processing you also need to have cygwin
installed

Then from your
/greater directory execute:
python packaging/makepackage.py

If errors occur the last 20 lines of the nsis output are shown.
You might want to edit the settings in makepackage.py

The created binary package will be placed in /greater/packaging


Default Settings for the postgres server:
No shortcuts
serverport 8890
serviceaccount greater
password greater
prefix $INSTDIR\postgres
datadir $INSTDIR\GREAT-ER-DB\database

Be aware that for distribution you also need to create a source package!
