Installer for nightly build

(1/2) > >>

roussec:
Hello,

is there a installer for Windows that can be used with the nightly builds? Can anybody give me a hint?

Thank you.

killerbot:
nope, no installer, just extract the 7-zip package, copy the wx dll next to it, and off you go (well haviung already a supported compiler/debugger installed might come in handy)

roussec:
Yeah, I know how to use the nightly builds - the problem is that I want to put it on a CD for people that are maybe not so talented ;-) If I could use an installer it would make things easier.

killerbot:
some options you could use (we don't do it for now, since otherwise each time for the non advanced users, we need to add mingW, Gdb, wx dll --> big downloads) for serving your audience ;-)  :

- create an installer with NSIS
- create a self extracting zip file (which contains everything)

As far as I know, CB does not need anything from the registry, the only thing it does with the registry is register itself to handle certain file types (at startup, no install task).
Dunno about MingW though (but my MingW install is by unzipping stuff, see wiki), only GDB comes with an installer (dunno if that's needed). For regular CB/MingW-GCC I don't even think MingW needs to be in the path, so you don't even have to worry about that.

AkiraDev:
This request actually raises a good question.
Considering that the SVN head is stable enough to warrant frequent use, and a good deal more advanced than the RC2, isn't it about time to make a RC3 available?
