Hi,

I read this on the Meld website:

"New Windows builds are currently unavailable. If you'd like to help out
with reproducible binary builds, please contact the Meld mailing list."

I have been trying to build the source on my Windows PC but have had some
difficulties.

What i have done:

   1. Installed the latest version on Meld for windows (3.16.2).
   2. Downloaded the latest source (3.18.0)
   3. Attempted to build the source. > It failed so i installed cx_freeze
   4. Commented out a few lines in build_exe_options of setup_win32.py.
   Namely: # "compressed": False, # "icon": "data/icons/meld.ico" as it was
   complaining that those options were not available
   5. Attempted to build again. It said it couldn't find a bunch of dlls
   and fonts etc so I copied the installed Meld (from Program Files) to
   Python\Python36-32\Lib\site-packages\gnome because i found all the files it
   was looking for in Program Files from the previously installed version.
   6. Attempted to build again. It failed saying that it was unable to find
   package "gi".
   7. I installed pygtk. Failed again.

I would like to help out with these builds as i really like the application
and i am primarily using Windows at the moment. Could anyone perhaps point
me in the correct direction?


Regards,

George
