-How to make an InstallShield in 357 frustrating steps
------------------------------------------------------
-
-The recipe below is correct in theory, but unfortunately some bits
-don't work in practice. These are noted below.
-
-0. Build a stage 1 tree.
-1. Set "XMLDocWays=html pdf" in stage 2's build.mk.
-2. Build stage 2.
-3. Convert ANNOUNCE and LICENSE (if it has changed) to RTF (use Word),
-and put them in the WindowsInstaller directory.
-4. Iff the layout of the directory tree has changed since last time
-(the addition or removal of files in existing directories doesn't
-matter):
-
- a. Set Project->Path Variables->Project->SourceFiles to point to
- the installed tree.
- b. Make sure GHCBITS (in the same place) points to the tree
- containing gcc, perl &c.
- c. Delete all the DLS_TopLevelFiles_x components.
- d. Add the entire install tree to TopLevelFiles as a dynamic link.
- e. Re-add the Start menu shortcuts for
- i. GHCi
- ii. PDF manual
- iii. HTML User's Guide
- iv. HTML Libraries Guide
-
- For each one, find the right DLS_TopLevelFiles_xx directory, go
- to Shortcuts, add a folder Program Files->Glasgow Haskell
- Compiler, and preferably copy the exact name for the file from an
- installed compiler. Add the file name, which is relative to the
- *installed* tree (i.e. <InstallDir>).
- f. Re-add the registry keys (under Registry Data for the
- TopLevelFiles component): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Glasgow
- Haskell Compiler->x.yy->{Path,Version}, where Path is set to
- <INSTALLDIR> and Version to the current version.
-
-5. Build the InstallShield.
-7-356. Deal with the awkward points mentioned below.
-357. Freeze & sell.

-Documentation
--------------
-
- jadetex
- -------
-
-I couldn't work out how to set the config parameters of MikTeX 2.1 to
-make jadetex compile the user guide and libraries book without falling
-over owing to running out of hash_size.
-
-Since MikTeX 1.2 seemed to work fine, the suggested workaround is to
-use that.
-
-Hopefully at some point Cygwin's tetex package will come with jadetex,
-and there won't be any need to install MikTeX.
-
- ghostscript
- -----------
-
-I couldn't get Cygwin's ps2pdf to work; hopefully it will in the
-future (or even more likely, I was just being useless). I have used
-AFPL's Ghostscript 6.50 for Windows happily; note that whatever
-version is used should be at least 6.50; earlier versions put
-low-quality bitmap fonts in PDFs.
-
-
-Tweaking the UI
----------------
-
-The only dialog that has so far been changed is SetupCompleteSuccess
-(under User Interface). Note that this dialog is used for both install
-(string IDS__IsExitDialog_5) and uninstall (string
-IDS__IsExitDialog_6).
-
-
-Version number and other strings
---------------------------------
-
-Most of the useful string resources are under the top-most entries in
-the tree on the Project View.
