Installation : Windows
Windows is not currently supported, but if you have some programming knowledge, please help out!
Here's how to test it
- Install msysgit
- Run git-gui from the Start menu, and clone git://repo.or.cz/zeroinstall.git
- Install python-2.5.2.msi from python.org
- Install gtk-2.12.9-win32-2.exe from link on pygtk.org's download page
- Install PyGObject and PyGTK from the same page
- Installed windows binary of GnuPG from gnupg.og
- Go to Start -> Control panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables. Edit "Path". Append: ;c:\python25;c:\gnupg (or wherever you installed Python and GnuPG)
- Use Start -> Run -> cmd. Make sure the python and gpg commands can be found
You can now cd to your cloned GIT repository and run 0launch (use -vvc for maximum logging). This will probably fail. See if you can make it work. Open issues:
- The InputBlocker in download.py doesn't work. You can replace the whole line with just yield as a work-around. This breaks the download progress bars, but works apart from that.
- It thinks gpg isn't in $PATH. Edit gpg.py to disable that check. Ideally, patch it to actually search the Windows %PATH% correctly.
- Downloading GPG keys fails, due to some odd backslashes. You can gpg --import the keys manually. Ideally, figure out what's going on there.
- All downloads have \r codes inserted into them. Looks like subprocess.Popen in download.py is turning a binary file into a text file. How can that happen?
That's as far as we've got so far. Let us know how you get on. Good luck!
