How to create a Windows setup executable.

The only extra tool needed to create a setup is Inno Setup. You can download the setup tool on Jordan Russell's website: http://www.jrsoftware.org/ If you are planning to cross compile you must also install Wine to be able to start the Inno Setup program.

You can choose from one of the build processes best suited for you:

• Cross compile with mingw
• Compile with mingw

To reduce the size of the setup you best strip the binaries first: Windows build:

cd Rocrail\winbin
strip *.dll
strip *.exe

Cross build:

cd Rocrail/winbin
i586-mingw32msvc-strip *.dll
i586-mingw32msvc-strip *.exe

Copy mingw10.dll to the winbin directory. You most likely have a shortcut on your desktop to start Inno Setup. After startup: Open an existing script: Rocrail/rocrail/package/rocrail.iss
The Inno Setup program shows you the script text in it's main window:

; -- rocrail.iss --

[Setup]
AppName=Rocrail
AppVerName=Rocrail 0.11.0 snapshot-svnxxxx-unicode
DefaultDirName={pf}\Rocrail
DefaultGroupName=Rocrail
UninstallDisplayIcon={app}\rocgui.exe
Compression=lzma
SolidCompression=yes
DirExistsWarning=auto
OutputDir=.
AppCopyright=GNU
AppPublisher=rocrail.net
AppPublisherURL=http://www.rocrail.net/
OutputBaseFilename=rocrail-0.11.0-snapshot-svnxxxx-unicode

Choose from the main menu Build→Compile.

The new created setup is stored in the Rocrail/rocrail/package directory. Example output filename:

rocrail-0.11.0-snapshot-svn1482-unicode.exe
