Hello.Thanks for working on this! It's something I've wanted to see for awhile myself.
Owen has access to the build server so can answer your question #1. On 09/01/2015 02:05 PM, Sébastien Blaisot wrote:
2. When we will have Wix installed on the build server, is it acceptable to add the Wix installation directory to the %PATH% of the build server and rely on it ? I didn't find a way to automatically determine where this folder is located like we actually do in scons for NSIS.
Can you not check the registry? Isn't that what we do for NSIS? I'd much prefer not to have to rely on any system environment setting to make it easier for others who want to set up a build environment.
3. Installation of 64bits package on 32bits machines is of course forbidden. I'm not sure if we need to permit 32bits mixxx installation on 64bits computer. Is anyone aware of such a use-case ?
I can't think of a use case (other than mass deployment to a mix of 32 and 64-bit PCs,) but there is typically no restriction to install 32-bit software on a 64-bit OS. We could however pop up a message saying that a full 64-bit version is available and that they should go get that instead, but allow them to proceed if they choose.
4. Can we get rid of windows XP Support ?
No. There are too many people still using Windows XP (on old hardware and in developing countries.)
5. actual installer creates empty directories "promo" and "sqldrivers". Are they still required or just oldies that we can forget ?
Sqldrivers was needed when we didn't build SQLite support into the qtsql.dll. For the forseeable future it's not needed since we plan to continue doing that.
Promo would contain promotional tracks that labels/artists have paid Mixxx to include with the installation, or tracks we otherwise want to include. We haven't done this in years but would like to keep the ability should we do so in the future. The folder should not be created if there's nothing to put in it though.
