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. ). - 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 - 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. \ No newline at end of file
