We used docs/msw/install.txt for this previously, but it was too long to
be comfortably viewed in the installation wizard and also incidentally
doesn't exist any more, so add a new, short file just referring the user
to its replacement.
Allow building official releases with MSVS 2017 without doing it from
its "developer command prompt" by using the vswhere utility to set up
the paths correctly.
Closes#18083.
For the release candidates, allow passing the version (e.g. "3.1.1-rc")
to post-release.sh on the command line and document this.
Also don't commit automatically, this is annoying, especially as the
script doesn't check for errors.
Finally, fix the problem with the CHM file name: it must be zipped,
presumably to avoid problems with some firewalls blocking downloading
CHM files (as there is really no advantage in compressing the already
compressed CHM file otherwise).
VS2017 environment bat files change the working directory so the build
directory is returned to after calling them.
A warning has been added that the VS150COMNTOOLS environment variable
needs to be set or a VS2017 command prompt needs to be used for VS2017
builds. MS no longer sets this variable on install.
For vc110 and vc120 builds the x64 switch has been changed to x86_amd64.
Closes#18075.
Add CMake-based build system.
Merge the original branch without any changes except for resolving the
conflict due to moving the contents of .travis.yml to a separate file by
propagating the changes done in this file since then to the new script
and rerunning ./build/update-setup-h and ./build/cmake/update_files.py
to update the file lists changed in the meanwhile.
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/330
We need to remove the directory containing sh.exe from the PATH as
otherwise mingw32-make seems to use it and not cmd.exe for executing the
commands in the makefile, but the wrong directory was being removed in
appveyor.yml, having no effect.
Fix this and undo 5f2ccde269 which
compensated for it by (almost) clearing the PATH entirely which, in
turn, broke one of our unit tests (and could break other things in the
future, as having an empty PATH is rather unexpected).
Also use the full path for head program now that its directory is not in
the PATH any more. Alternative could be to use PowerShell, but while
powershell -Command "'gcc','mingw32-make','ar'|%%{ iex \"$_ --version\"|select -first 1 }"
does work, it looks really ugly, so avoid it for now.
See https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/142
See #17274.
Use "git submodule foreach" to run "git archive" in all of the
submodules as well.
Also document the requirement to have GNU tar which is needed to be able
to successfully extract several concatenated tar archives.
Don't assume they're run from the directory containing them, especially
as this is not how they are shown to be invoked in the release
instructions.
Now running ./build/tools/pre-release.sh works too.
Update dates in various files before the release automatically.
Also automatically update SHA-1 of the release files both before the
release (to zero them) and afterwards (to use the correct values).
Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/443
This is necessary to properly upgrade the package dependencies when
installing the new versions of the packages themselves and fixes the
problem with the new Python 2.7.14 failing to run since its package was
updated from 2.7.13.
This doesn't work any longer since Cygwin Python 2.7.14 update, see
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-11/msg00053.html
Avoid using it by preventing include/wx/stc/stc.h file from being
updated, this shouldn't be necessary anyhow as the version in git should
be already up-to-date.
Simplify the officialbuild.bat script by only checking for "vcXX" instead of
accepting both them and "vsYYYY".
Also add instructions for using it in the corresponding HOWTO.
Closes#17514.
Don't exclude non-MSW specific files any longer from the generated
installer for MSW. The space savings are hardly worth the effort:
originally 46.9 MiB (133 MiB installed) and with all files included 48 MiB
(142 MiB installed).
Also by having all files in the installer more exotic builds such as wxGTK
for MSW are available.
Use a single script for all compiler versions, another simple script just
defining wxWidgets version and, finally, a script building all the binaries
for all the compilers.
Closes#17510.
