-
-See "compile.txt" for how to build the executables.
-
-There are currently two types of release builds for Windows, contained
-in the MSVC project configurations Release (for Windows 98/ME) and
-Unicode_Release (for 2000/XP/Vista). These instructions apply for
-either one, but example values are for Unicode_Release.
-
-1. Remove the old manual and make sure you can rebuild a new one
-
- a. Make sure you have Python installed and on your PATH.
-
- b. Delete audacity\help\manual if it exists.
-
- c. The manual should be built in audacity\help\manual by the
- main Solution (step 2 below).
-
- If you have disabled the 'Help' project during testing you will have to
- build it separately.
-
- If you just want to get the manual, go to
- audacity\scripts\mw2html_audacity, run wiki2htm and wait for
- it to complete.
-
-
-2. Build the executable.
-
- a. Make sure you have a current source version from CVS.
-
- b. Make sure to turn off ASIO support (see compile.txt) if you are
- creating the installer for public release.
- We cannot publicly post a build that supports ASIO, for
- licensing reasons (more detail in compile.txt).
-
- c. Check that the following #defines in Audacity.h are up-to-date:
- IS_BETA
-
- AUDACITY_VERSION
-
- AUDACITY_RELEASE
-
- AUDACITY_REVISION
-
- AUDACITY_SUFFIX
- Especially check the overriding "-alpha-<date>" line.
-
- (Vaughan believes we have never changed
- AUDACITY_MODLEVEL, so it can be ignored.)
-
- d. It's a good idea to not only do a Build > Clean Solution
- beforehand, but to also delete the directory
- (e.g., audacity\win\unicode_release).
-
- e. Make sure to build the "locale" project, either
- separately or as part of Build > Batch Build. You will need
- msgfmt.exe in your PATH for that. Get it from
- http://audacity.sourceforge.net/files/msgfmt.zip
-
-
-3. Copy other necessities to release build folder.
-
- a. We are still keeping some of the LADSPA plug-ins in the
- Audacity installer, even though we are now offering a
- separate installer that includes all the LADSPA plug-ins
- built from version 0.4.15. These are the ones we include
-
- * gverb_1216.dll
- * hard_limiter_1413.dll
- * sc4_1882.dll
-
- Check "http://plugin.org.uk/"; for updates.
- If none, just grab the dlls from a previous release.
- If updated, build these via the
- audacity\win\LADSPA_plugins-win project (see
- audacity\win\LADSPA_plugins-win\readme_LADSPA_plugins-win.txt).
-
- Once you have these DLL files, put them in the plug-ins
- folder, e.g., audacity\win\unicode_release\plug-ins.
-
- b. Make sure you copied to the build folder the appropriate
- wxWidgets DLLs from "C:\wxWidgets-2.8.10\lib\vc_dll".
- For details, refer to "Provide access to the wxWidgets DLLs"
- at "MSVC++ STEP 5: Build Audacity" in "compile.txt".
-
- c. For 1.3.8, we manually added wxstd.mo files to the "Languages"
- folder in the Audacity build directory. This may be automated
- in future. Until then, go to
- http://www.audacity.homerow.net/index.php?dir=windows
- and download "locales-2.8.10-msw.zip". Extract the contents
- into the "Languages" folder. You want each wxstd.mo file in the
- appropriate language directory/folder.
-
- Then go to the newly added "gl_ES" and "zh_CN" folders in turn,
- and copy the "wxstd.mo" files from each into the "gl" and zh" folders
- respectively. Then delete the "gl_ES" and "zh_CN" folders.
-
- (Note that I (MJS) can't make the standard XP extractor do what is
- required here. I can make 7-zip do it by navigating into
- locales-2.8.10-msw.zip\locales-2.8.10\, selecting all the folders
- then extracting into the Languages folder.)
-
- d. Also in 1.3.8, it became apparent after release that VC9 Express
- sp1 built Audacity so that it needed pre-sp1 runtimes. To save
- rebuilding the executable, we replaced the VC90.CRT.manifest
- supplied by VC9sp1 with one containing the version number of
- the older runtimes. Until the executable is rebuilt with a flag
- to point Audacity to the VC9sp1 runtimes, do this:
-
- 1. Go to
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT .
- 2. Make a copy of "Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest" and call it
- "Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest.bak".
- 3. In "Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest", change version in the
- <assemblyIdentity> tag from version="9.0.30729.1" to
- version="9.0.21022.8".
- 4. The *.iss scripts (see Step 4 below) will pick up the
- replacement manifest and DLLs from
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT .
-
-
-4. Build the Installer.
-
- a. Install the latest Inno Setup
- (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php).
-
- b. Open the appropriate Inno Setup script,
- audacity\win\audacity.iss for Release or
- audacity\win\audacity_unicode.iss for Unicode_Release.
-
- c. Change the version strings as necessary.
- These are current for Unicode_Release:
-
- * OutputBaseFilename=audacity-win-unicode-1.3.10
-
- * AppName=Audacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode)
- For stable releases, this should just be
- "Audacity (Unicode)"
-
- * AppVerName=Audacity 1.3.10 (Unicode)
-
- * DefaultDirName={pf}\Audacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode)
- For stable releases, this should just be
- "Audacity (Unicode)"
-
- d. Compile and test the installer.
- Install to 'Audacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode)', or as agreed for a 'Stable'
- (you may be offered something else, depending on your previous
- installation status) (this is important when it come to making the zip).
- The result appears in audacity\win\Output.
-
- e. Check the inbuilt manual to make sure that the 'look'
- is pretty similar to the previous version. Some changes
- to style sheets may 'break' the mw2html.py script and cause it to
- leave in / miss out some vital bits.
-
- f. Rename it as a release candidate, e.g.,
- "audacity-win-unicode-1.3.9rc1.exe" for
- "release candidate 1".
-
-
-5. To create the zip version, go to the installed version,
- e.g., "C:\Program Files\Audacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode)",
- remove the unins*.* files and the "help" folder, then
- zip the folder and rename it e.g.,
- "audacity-win-unicode-1.3.10rc1.zip"
-
-
-6. TESTING
-
- Put the release candidate somewhere for other people to test.
- If changes are necessary, name successive candidates rcN.
-
- Get people to test the installer in both a fresh directory
- and over the top of previous recent and older versions.
-
- Hopefully people can test both cases on several Win OSs, like XP and 7.
-
-7. Finished testing:
- When the final rcN is approved, simply remove the rcN
- suffix from the name on the exe and zip files, and those
- are the release installer and zip.
