Packaging/Windows

From gPodderWiki

Preparations:

• Install Python 2.6 from python.org
• Install GTK+ Bundle from gtk.org
• Install pycairo, pygobject and pygtk from pygtk.org
• Install mingw, msys, mingw-gettext
• Download libiconv bin for Win, extract bin/libiconv2.dll and copy as libiconv-2.dll to PATH
• Download libglade-win32 and copy libglade-2.0-0.dll to DISTDIR/bin
• Download libxml2 from GnuWin32 and copy libxml2.dll to DISTDIR/bin
• Download feedparser-4.1.zip
• Download gpodder-share-icons.tar.gz
• Checkout gPodder source code from Git

The folder where the result will be placed is called DISTDIR here.

Adding necessary files:

• Create the folders DISTDIR/bin, DISTDIR/lib and DISTDIR/share
• Copy python.exe, pythonw.exe, w9xpopen.exe from PYTHON2.6 to DISTDIR/bin
• Copy python26.dll from WINDIR/system32 to DISTDIR/bin
• Copy all files from "DLLs" in PYTHON2.6 to DISTDIR/bin
• Copy LICENSE.txt to DISTDIR/bin as LICENSE_PYTHON26.txt
• Copy all files and folders in "lib" from PYTHON2.6 to DISTDIR/lib
• Copy all DLL files from "bin" in GTK2 to DISTDIR/bin
• Copy the folder "etc" in GTK2 to DISTDIR
• Copy the folder "gtk-2.0" from "lib" in GTK2 to DISTDIR/lib
• Copy the folders "locale" and "themes" from "share" in GTK2 to DISTDIR/share
• Extract the folder "icons" from gpodder-share-icons.tar.gz to DISTDIR/share
• Create the file DISTDIR/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc with the following contents:

 gtk-theme-name = "MS-Windows"

• Extract feedparser.py from feedparser-4.1.zip to DISTDIR/lib/site-packages
• Copy "gpodder" in "src" from gpodder-git to DISTDIR/lib/site-packages
• Copy the folder "data" from gpodder-git to DISTDIR
• Create the Win32 launcher executable (in gpodder-git):

 cd doc/dev/win32-launcher
 make

• Copy the resulting file "gpodder.exe" to DISTDIR
• Remove the following items from DISTDIR/lib to make the package smaller: distutils, lib2to3, msilib, multiprocessing, pkgconfig, test, wsgiref, bsddb
• Create the translation files (in gpodder-git):

 make -C data/po

• Copy the folder "locale" from "data" in gpodder-git to DISTDIR/share
• Add the following lines to DISTDIR/lib/site-packages/gpodder/__init__.py before "del locale_dir":

 from gtk.glade import bindtextdomain
 
 bindtextdomain(textdomain, locale_dir)

• Test if everything works (e.g. run gpodder.exe)
• Remove the following files in DISTDIR/lib (recursive search!): *.pyo *.pyc
• Pack the folder into a ZIP file and distribute
