1 | Distribution scripts and lists |
| 2 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | This directory (distrib\msw) contains some 4DOS batch files | |
| 5 | (.bat) and 'response' files (.rsp) to simplify the job of | |
| 6 | producing distributions. The .rsp files specify which files are | |
| 7 | associated with a particular module, e.g. wx200vc.rsp refers to | |
| 8 | the VC++ project files, wx200gen.rsp represents the generic files, | |
| 9 | wx200msw.rsp specifies the Windows specific files, etc. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | When making a distribution on Windows, I call zipdist.bat to prepare | |
| 12 | zip files with everything needed for Windows, | |
| 13 | GTK and Motif. zipdist then unzips some of them into | |
| 14 | deliver\wx, removes and adds a few files to perfect the | |
| 15 | distribution. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | zipdist then calls 'makewise.bat' to generate a new wxwin2.wse | |
| 18 | script, for WISE Installer. It takes wisetop.txt, wisebott.txt | |
| 19 | and adds the section for file installation. (If you've modified | |
| 20 | wxwin2.wse using WISE Installer, simply compile and run splitwise.exe | |
| 21 | to put back up-to-date wisetop.txt, wisebott.txt files before | |
| 22 | running zipdist.) | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | Finally, zipdist runs WISE Installer using a command line | |
| 25 | argument to produce the setup.* files automatically. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | Note that although zipdist.bat produces archives for 3 platforms, | |
| 28 | I only use a subset of these to produce the Windows-specific | |
| 29 | setup.exe. I then have the option of distributing the zip files | |
| 30 | as well. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | You may need to install 4DOS to run these scripts. If anyone | |
| 33 | wishes to remove 4DOS dependency, that's fine with me. | |
