Re: Meld 3.16.4

[Kai Willadsen <kai willadsen gmail com>]

There's "documentation" of a kind. I list (and try to make sure it's correct) what was used to build a binary in the SOURCES file next to the windows downloads, e.g.,
    https://download.gnome.org/binaries/win32/meld/3.16/SOURCES

We're using the pre-built windows binaries provided by the pygobjectwin32 project, available at
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/pygobjectwin32/files/

I haven't tried, but building against the most recent 3.14 release there should work, even though that's not the release I was/am using.

cheers,

Kai

Ah, that's it.  I had 5.0 installed, once I did "pip install cx_freeze==4.3.3", I got past that issue.  Now it's saying
cx_Freeze.freezer.ConfigError: cannot find file/directory named C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gnome\libgnutls-26.dll

Do we have any documentation of the versions of dependencies to install to build the MSI?  All I found was https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Meld/Windows, which didn't mention installing cx_freeze or python-gnutls.

I was trying to build the Windows installer for this version, with

py -2 setup_win32.py build

but it prints
error: error in setup script: command 'build_exe' has no such option 'compressed'

any suggestions?

What version of cx_freeze are you running? looking at the code, it looks like it's changed the option from `compressed` to `no-compress` between 4.x and 5.0. I'm not necessarily averse to updating our setup files to use 5.0 options, but I think we'd have to do that in master, not in the 3.16 branch.
