Instructions for building the Win32 installer
---------------------------------------------
Dependencies:
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
- Deluge build: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Installing/Source
- Bbfreeze: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bbfreeze
- StartX: http://www.naughter.com/startx.html
- NSIS: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page

The assumption in the following is that Python 2.6 is installed in C:\Python26.
The GTK+ runtime libraries are installed separately (anywhere, in the Windows PATH).
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
1) Build Deluge on Windows
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
2) Use a slightly hacked bbfreeze to create a standalone "executable" which does not need the the Python libs
The modification is to add these lines to:
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\bbfreeze-0.96.5-py2.6-win32.egg\bbfreeze\recipes.py
Right at the top of the Python function 'recipe_gtk_and_friends':
return True
We want to include all the gtk libraries in the installer so that users don't
require a separate GTK+ installation.
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
3) Edit the 'build_version' variable in the Python script:
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
win32/build-bbfreeze.py
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
and run the script from the win32 directory:
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
python build-bbfreeze.py
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
The script places the bbfreeze'd version of deluge in
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
build-win32/deluge-bbfreeze-build_version
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
Note: the build-bbfreeze.py script assumes that Python 2.6 is installed in C:\Python26,
otherwise the 'python_path' variable should be changed.
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
4) Edit the variable 'PROGRAM_VERSION' in the NSIS script
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
win32/deluge-win32-installer.nsi
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
and run the NSIS script.
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
The result is a standalone installer. The only dependency for the installer is the GTK+ runtime,
which is downloaded by the Deluge installer if it isn't installed in the system.
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
The GTK+ installer is downloaded from http://download.deluge-torrent.org/windows/deps/
and placed in the user temp directory (not deleted after installation).
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
The post install script creates the deluge.cmd file using startX.exe with the correct path
and sets up the file association for .torrent.
2011-12-15 17:00:41 +00:00
5) The Uninstaller will remove everything from the installation directory. Also the file
association for '.torrent' will be removed but only if it's associated with Deluge
