About
=====
The KDEWIN Installer is aimed to be a installer tool to ease kde installation on windows.
See http://commit-digest.org/issues/2007-01-14/ for an article about the background of this installer.
State
=====
The gui installer is able to download, install and update packages from different internet ftp
or http location with or without using a proxy. The command line installer works as expected
NOTES
=====
- see doc/readme.txt for more informations about the idea and backgrounds of the installer
- sources are located on http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/kdewin-installer/
- the released version is build using a static qt release with specific configure
parameters, see section "static compile hints" for more informations
Known Bugs
==========
- manifest files for gnuwin32 source packages does not contain the full path, there must
be prefixed src/<package>-<version> - repackaging of the related package will help
cmake support
=============
kdewin-installer allows to add binary packaging suppport to cmake based projects by providing a cmake module named KDEWIN_Packager.
1. copy share/apps/cmake/modules/FindKDEWIN_Packager.cmake into cmake/modules of your project
2. add the following lines to the top level cmake
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/modules")
find_package(KDEWIN_Packager)
if (KDEWIN_PACKAGER_FOUND)
KDEWIN_PACKAGER(
"projectname"
"version"
"description"
"additional options"
)
endif (KDEWIN_PACKAGER_FOUND)
3. after compiling, run <make-tool> kdewin_package. For more information see FindKDEWIN_Packager.cmake.
static compile hints
====================
- msvc: To have a size optimised static msvc version replace all occurrence
of /MD with /MT in mkspecs/win32-msvc2005/qmake.conf
Then you should configure qt using the command line options
qconfigure msvc2005 -static -debug-and-release -no-stl -no-exceptions -no-qt3support -no-rtti
and compile qt with
nmake sub-src
After qt is compiled, then you should checkout kdewin-installer source, the configure and compile
kdewin-installer using default settings
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" ..\kdewin-installer -DSTATIC_BUILD=1 -> Release Build
<make-tool>
or
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" ..\kdewin-installer -DSTATIC_BUILD=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=MinSizeRel -> size optimized
<make-tool>
Happy hacking
