2.3/ If everything has worked, you should have c:\GTK\bin \etc \lib \src and so on created.
2.4/ The /share/doc and /share/gtk-doc folders are huge, so can be emptied now (leave the /doc and /gtk-doc folders
in place, but delete the content)
Step 3 Set GTK into the PATH variable
-------------------------------------
The path for GTK isn't set by default, so need to let the o/s know where the GTK stuff is.
3.1/ Rightclick on mycomputer to show system properties
3.2/ select advanced/environment Variables
3.3/ in "system variables" NOT "user variables" do the following
3.3.1/ create a new item as name: GTK_BASEPATH value: c:\GTK
3.3.2/ edit the item "path", press home to get to the first character and insert the following text, (no quotes, including semicolon) %GTK_BASEPATH%\bin;
3.4/ to check, open command prompt and do:
dos>path ... system should respond with ... PATH=c:\GTK\bin;C:\WIN........
3.5/ Give it a spin to test (hopefully an application will start, if not, something has gone wrong)
dos> gtk-demo
Step 4 Get the fpdb GIT tree
----------------------------
4.1/ Best to take a copy to work with; following steps will assume that the fpdb folder is on the Desktop
4.2/ Edit the script in packaging/windows/py2exe_setup.py to set the fpdbver variable for this release
5.3/ Install correct Numpy for this build
-----------------------------------------
Numpy needs special handling, as by default it will install an optimised version for the SSE level of your CPU (SSE3, SSE2 or noSSE). This means that the completed package will not run on an older CPU.
6.3/ If there are no errors reported, it has probably worked, we will test soon.
Build notes:
There is a warning about dll's not included "umath.pyd - c:\Python27\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\umath.pyd"
- reason for this is not understood at present. (Umath is apparently included in the built package).
Step 7 not currently used
-------------------------
Has been deleted
Step 8 Drag out the completed bundle
------------------------------------
py2exe creates a new folder for the created software bundle, drag this out to the desktop for ease of working.
8.1/ Drag Desktop\fpdb\packaging\windows\fpdb-n.nn.nnn to Desktop\
Step 9 Initial run
------------------
9.1/ Open the Desktop\fpdb-n.nn.nnn folder
9.2/ In explorer...tools...folder options...View uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types"
9.3/ Double click run_fpdb.bat
9.4/ check the contents of pyfpdb\fpdb.exe.log, deal with any errors thrown
9.5/ hopefully, fpdb will run
9.6/ Try out a few options, deal with any errors reported
Observe that the msvcp90.dll was provided by the python runtime package, so we don't have to install the separate package from Microsoft. End-users will, however need the dependency.
