Windows Installer
We use msys2 for creating the Windows installer and development on Windows.
Development
Download msys2 (msys2-x86_64-xxx.exe) and follow the install instructions on the msys2 startpage (Important!)
- Fork the master branch on dev.gajim.org
- Execute C:\msys64\mingw32.exe
- Run pacman -S gitto install git
- Run git clone https://dev.gajim.org/USERNAME/gajim.git
- Run cd gajim/winto end up where this README exists.
- Execute ./dev_env.shto install all the needed dependencies.
- Now go to the git root dir cd ..
- Launch Gajim ./launch.py
Build Gajim / Creating an Installer
Follow the steps in the Development section, but instead of ./dev_env.sh execute ./build.sh.
You can supply a git tag ./build.sh [git-tag].
Or dont supply it, then current HEAD is build.
Both the installer and the portable installer should appear in C:\msys64\home\USER\gajim\win\_build_root.
