Hi,
I have now successfully produced a snapshot installer exe (although the
result is untested), but there are a couple of caveats still:
* The unsettled gsf issue from above (I followed your config suggestion
to simply ignore it).
I'll get to that before too long.
* In install-runtime-gtk3.sh I had to apply the following changes:
- rename libgailutil-3.dll to libgailutil-3-0.dll
OK, I'll revise install-runtime-gtk3.sh.in accordingly.
- comment out the immodules line, because there aren't any
dll's in the
referenced dir (will that be a problem later on in using the program?)
No, I don't think it'll be a problem.
* In mkdist.sh I needed to point to "Inno Setup 6" instead
of 5; this is
obviously related to my newly installed version, but I just followed the
instructions in the guide (section 6), so I guess it could be updated.
Yes, indeed.
* In win32/windist/isstop.64 I needed to comment out the use of Greek
as
a language because that didn't work for me. I suspect this could be
solved by installing Greek language support on this Windows 10 system,
but I haven't tried yet.
I think it has to do with what translations are available in the
Inno Setup package, not Windows itself. IIRC I added a "beta"
translation on my system and maybe that was Greek.
* I'm repeating my open question whether ..../gbuild/gretl needs
to be
created manually before the whole process.
Yes, there's nothing in the scripts to create that. I should make
that clear in the PDF.
