From 63cc2d864fe8e5c776f3675067100a907a45b2f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dirk Hohndel Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 10:33:25 -0700 Subject: build-system: document how to create a Windows installer These are the instructions that I use at this point. Removed a long obsolete script - it's been many, many years since that last was useful (it was still using qmake to try to build Subsurface) Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel --- packaging/windows/README.md | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+) create mode 100644 packaging/windows/README.md (limited to 'packaging/windows/README.md') diff --git a/packaging/windows/README.md b/packaging/windows/README.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..803df2c50 --- /dev/null +++ b/packaging/windows/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,18 @@ +# Creating a Windows installer + +The scripts here help with cross building Subsurface and smtk2ssrf for Windows. + +The preferred method to create a Windows installer is to use our own docker +image that has all the build components pre-assembled. +All it takes is this: + +``` +cd /some/path/windows +git clone git://github.com/subsurface/subsurface +cd subsurface +git submodule init +git submodule update +docker run -v /some/path/windows:/__w subsurface/mxe-build-container:1.1 /bin/bash /__w/subsurface/packaging/windows/create-win-installer.sh +``` + +This will result in subsurface-VERSION.exe and smtk2ssrf-VERSION.exe to be created. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
