= Deluge Installer for Windows =
Instructions for building the Deluge NSIS Installer for Windows XP/Vista/7.
== Dependencies ==
* Deluge build: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Installing/Source#WindowsDependencies
* Bbfreeze: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bbfreeze
* NSIS: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download
== Build Steps ==
1. Build Deluge on Windows.
2. Verify/update the Deluge version in the win32 packaging scripts.
bbfreeze script - Edit 'build_version' variable in:
win32/deluge-bbfreeze.py
NSIS script - Edit 'PROGRAM_VERSION' variable in:
win32/deluge-win32-installer.nsi
3. Modify bbfreeze program.
We want to include all the gtk libraries in the installer so that users don't
require a separate GTK+ installation so we need to slightly modify bbfreeze.
The modification is to add a line to bbfreeze\recipes.py, usually located here:
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\bbfreeze-*-py2.6-win32.egg\bbfreeze\recipes.py
Find the line containing 'def recipe_gtk_and_friends' and after it add:
return True
4. Run the bbfreeze script from the win32 directory:
python deluge-bbfreeze.py
The script places the bbfreeze'd version of Deluge in
build-win32/deluge-bbfreeze-build_version
Note: The assumption for this script is that Python 2.6 is installed
in 'C:\Python26' otherwise the 'python_path' variable should be changed.
5. Run the NSIS script (right-click and choose `Compile with NSIS`)
The result is a standalone installer in the `build-win32` directory.
The Uninstaller will remove everything from the installation directory. The file
association for '.torrent' will also be removed but only if it's associated with Deluge
