Building the installer
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
To build the installer do the following:
|
|
|
|
- install the latest version 3.x of NSIS (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Download)
|
|
- install the NSIS Large Strings build (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Special_Builds)
|
|
(extract the extension ZIP file in your NSIS installation folder and this way overwrite some files)
|
|
- download the plugin Inetc (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Inetc_plug-in)
|
|
extract the content into the NSIS's installation folder
|
|
- download the plugin NSISList (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/NSISList_plug-in), download both .zip archives,
|
|
extract Include\NSISList.nsh from the first archive to the folder Include of NSIS's installation folder and
|
|
extract NSISList-Unicode\NSISList.dll from the second archive to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of NSIS's installation folder
|
|
- download the plugin ShellLink (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/ShellLink_plug-in)
|
|
extract Unicode\Plugins\ShellLink.dll from the archive to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of NSIS's installation folder
|
|
- download the plugin ShellExecAsUser (https://nsis.sourceforge.io/ShellExecAsUser_plug-in), choose Unicode version
|
|
extract unicode\ShellExecAsUser.dll from the archive to the folder \Plugins\x86-unicode of NSIS's installation folder
|
|
- Go to the Qt-kit directory, which you have specified as CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH before compiling in CMake Gui, enter the bin folder,
|
|
copy these files:
|
|
Qt5Concurrent.dll"
|
|
Qt5Network.dll"
|
|
Qt5OpenGL.dll"
|
|
Qt5PrintSupport.dll"
|
|
to %%lyxbuild%%\LYX_INSTALLED\bin
|
|
The files will be named Qt6xxx.dll if compiled with Qt6
|
|
- open the file settings.nsh with a text editor and adapt the settings for your need. A good text editor
|
|
for NSIS development is e.g. Visual Studio Code with the NSIS extension.
|
|
- right-click on the file lyx-standard.nsi and choose "Compile NSIS script"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Updating dependencies
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
- Imagemagick:
|
|
download the portable version of imagemagick for windows from https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php (32 or 64 bit),
|
|
current version is 7.0.10-0
|
|
extract the zip archive,
|
|
run imagemagickConvert.bat in %%repo%%\development\Win32\packaging\dependencies, browse to the extracted imagemagick archive,
|
|
after the script finishes check for anything suspicious.
|
|
if there is anything suspicious or it didn't work (in case imagemagic devs changed something), read the following description,
|
|
it describes how it was done for 7.0.10-0, repair the bat file and update the description
|
|
In the fresh extracted archive will be many executable files which are the exact same size as "magick.exe". magick.exe is
|
|
the only executable LyX needs, delete the other redundant executables. Also delete ffmpeg.exe and IMDisplay.exe.
|
|
The resulting folder size should be around 15-16 MB
|
|
|
|
- Ghostscript
|
|
download ghostscript for windows from https://www.ghostscript.com/download/gsdnld.html (32 or 64 bit), current version is 9.50
|
|
install to your computer or open the installer executable with 7zip, extract the folders "bin" and "lib" from the installdir/archive
|
|
to %%dependencies%%\ghostscript.
|
|
|
|
- Python
|
|
download the latest Python 3 release for windows from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ (embeddable package 64 bit),
|
|
current version is 3.11.2
|
|
Extract it and copy to %%dependencies%%\Python.
|
|
open python3XX._pth file with a text editor, uncomment the "import site" line
|
|
add following paths after the 2 already existing paths ('.' and python311.zip)
|
|
./Scripts
|
|
../Resources
|
|
../Resources/lyx2lyx
|
|
../Resources/scripts
|
|
|
|
- Visual Studio runtime
|
|
Download the latest Visual C++ Redistributable (if you still haven't), the version should match with your VS C++ compiler
|
|
(Buildtools) though. Find these files in Windows/System32 folder:
|
|
concrt140.dll
|
|
msvcp140.dll
|
|
vcamp140.dll
|
|
vccorlib140.dll
|
|
vcomp140.dll
|
|
vcruntime140.dll
|
|
For 64 bit you will additionally need
|
|
vcruntime140_1.dll
|
|
See the Python description above for explanation of different store locations of 64 and 32 bit dlls. Copy these dlls to
|
|
%%dependencies%%\bin.
|
|
|
|

|
to %%dependencies%%\bin. You can uninstall the package afterwards.
|
|

|
|
therefore this method is not usable.
