== Dependencies ==

• Deluge build: https://deluge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/depends.html
• PyInstaller: https://pypi.org/project/pyinstaller/
• NSIS: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download

== Build Steps ==

1. Build and Install Deluge on Windows.

2. Run the pyinstaller from the deluge\packaging\win directory.spec:

   pyinstaller --clean delugewin.spec --distpath .\packaging\win\freeze

   The result is a PyInstaller version of Deluge in packaging\win\freeze.

3. Run the NSIS script:

   64-bit python:

   makensis /Darch=x64 deluge-win-installer.nsi

   32-bit python:

   makensis /Darch=x86 deluge-win-installer.nsi

   Note: If you don't specify arch defaults to trying x64

The result is a standalone installer in the packaging\win directory.
