Re: Builds for Windows

Thanks a lot for your help!

We would like to provide an Windows installer for users, better by auto-daily build.

If you would like to help the community, please help us achieving this goal!

Re: Builds for Windows

Hello dxli,

I updated my post and add installer.
It is without folders /imageformats, /sqldrivers - are they needed?
And it includes very big font file wqy-unicode.lff (42Mb) - is it right? so big?

Now this is hand work... If I will know how to build project from command line in windows - I'll make auto builds.

Anton

Anton,

See this directory: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/tree/master/scripts/postprocess-windows

There is a nsis script that will do all the work for you. Ofcourse, if file locations have been

changed this script needs to be modified. But it's just a matter of running

that script through nsis and you should be good.

My build system is a bare naked windows machine that's not used for anything but

building LibreCAD, it's not even connected to the internet but only to fetch data with a virus scanner

to ensure we deliver problem free LibreCAD experience.

I update my fist post adding new build:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1889899/4/LibreCAD-daily/20120208/LibreCAD-Installer.exe

I changed some files and created new librecad-make.bat for building in windows from command-line (git pull + make + postprocess-win + nsis). To whom I should sent them to add to repositary?

Anton,

please send them to me so I can take a closer look, test it and add it.

Additionally, I am thinking to see if I can find a build server somewhere on the net that can help us

with automated windows builds (it's for downloads of compiled versions the majority of the users).

And see if we can use that and publish that on SF.net. Of course, the price of such machine should be very reasonable

Re: Builds for Windows

Hi Anton,

I wonder whether we can get automatic nightly builds of windows installer. Pretty much the way like ubuntu librecad ppa, which distributes daily builds from the master branch, i.e. 2.0 series currently.

I wanted to add that feature when the 2.0 series is stable enough for beta releasing.

Thanks,

Dongxu

Dongxu,

I have been researching this a bit but couldn't find a affordable host yet that runs windows

which we can use as a build server.

I strongly opt against using a home computer because of risk of viruses in the software.

Untill you find server, I'll make builds eventually.
And everybody, who use my builds, should understand risks (I have avast! worked).
You not protest for this, aren't you? :-)

Hey Dli,

I think it was send to the wrong email address.

One thing that I know was/is a issue on release vs debug builds is that sometimes pointers

are initialised as 00 (null) and sometimes not. I don't know about current

state if c/c++ and how defaults are initialised, bit I know there are at least

differences betwen OCS/Windows and Linux. On some platforms pointers

are initialised as 0x0, and other platforms it's random (what ever happens tobe at that memory)

During checking if a object is 'alive' (if (object == null) check it might work fine on for example

Linux, but OSX might crash because pointers are at that random value.

As I program mostly java, I frequently use a static code annalyser to spot some issues,

I wonder if it makes sense to use that on LibreCAD to see if there are any common errors?

Just a thought...

Kind Regards,

Re: Builds for Windows

Similar to this bug, we should do code review here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/librecad/bugs/396/

Also, this type of logic here:

Hi dxli,

I tested your manual today with qt 5.1.1 and I ready to make changes to
wiki and to build files. Also I need to chat with you in GTalk or skype
to specify some questions. Write me to agb(---)ukr(dot)net, please!

Need to change default Qt path in scripts/set-windows-env.bat now it is wrong.

CY,
Anton

Re: Builds for Windows

Hi,

to change the Qt path for your needs, please do as decribed in the wiki:

To change these default settings you have to create the file scripts/custom-windows.bat and overwrite one or both settings without effect to the SCM (git).
Example for scripts/custom-windows.bat:

   set Qt_DIR=D:\files\local\Qt\Qt5.1.1\5.1.1
   set NSIS_DIR=C:\Program Files\NSIS

The custom-windows.bat is ignored by git.
