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 git to install git
  • Run git clone https://dev.gajim.org/USERNAME/gajim.git
  • Run cd gajim/win to end up where this README exists.
  • Execute ./dev_env.sh to 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.
