Sorry, these instructions are very Windows specific.

--- Setup for dev ---

Install each of the items in the tobuild directory.

python
We know what this is, I hope.

nsis20b31.exe
Nullsoft Scriptable Install System
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/

py2exe
Generates a windows ".exe" for Python code.
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/

wxPython
GUI framework
http://www.wxpython.org/

Now install gadfly

cd gadfly-1.0.0
python setup.py install

--- To run WikidPad from source ---

set PYTHONPATH=lib
python WikidPad.py

--- To build and generate executable ---

set PYTHONPATH=lib
build.bat

This will generate a "build" directory and a "dist" directory.

--- To create a WikidPad.exe distribution ---

Modify the version number of wikidPad in:

setup.py
installer/WikidPad.nsi
and the html in lib/pwiki/PersonalWikiFrame.py in the AboutDialog.
yes this could be better.

Run wikidPad using: python WikidPad.py

Open the help wiki. Make sure it is the help wiki under the source tree. Now
click on the root node. This makes sure that the distributed version will open
up on the root node.

Go into the installer directory.
Right click on WikidPad.nsi and select Compile NSI.

Note: See TracBrowser for help on using the browser.
