GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 460894
Installer for Gnome-Games on windows
Last modified: 2012-09-28 00:06:25 UTC
I've created an installer for the current Gnome-Games-On-Windows project. In the installer are a stripped down gtk2+ (only needed files) and guile 1.8 files + the only working game right now Aisleriot. Please read thorougly the first page of the installer - some important things are mentioned there! :) This installer is currently in beta status - so if you can, test it first in a virtual machine or something like that. Other information:
Ok, due to the upload limit of 1MB to bugzilla I've setup a place where to download the installer: http://ctb-online.net/gnomegames/gnome-games.exe
Looks good. Can you post the installer sources?
Created attachment 92580 [details] Sources and needed bins (ico, etc.) and folder structure included in the zip file are all source files, resources used and folder structure for the installer - i prefer to create small projects for installers as well, so it maybe can go into svn like the one in the zip
I have added the nsis installer sources to SVN: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-games/trunk/windows/nsis/ Tom, when you want to update the installer sources, please open a bugreport in bugzilla, and attach a patch to the sources in gnome-games SVN. Here are some suggestions: - If possible, use automake to get the current version of gnome-games, and show the current gnome-games version in the text in the installer. Here's the todo list you described in the readme.txt: >- make multiple installs (full, selective, ...) >- different installers (development installer, complete, games-only) >- check wether gtk2+ is installed or not >- check wether guile is installed or not >- additional start menu entries (web links, etc.) >- update uninstaller to leave no traces on the system (right now install folder >remains) >- implement correct license file >- use "modern UI" These items all sound reasonable to me. You can submit these as patches to SVN. By the way, what does "use modern UI mean"? A prettier installer? :-) I have uploaded the latest installer here: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGames/Windows
Re-assigning to new default owner.
Things have changed. And the origin link is dead. I guess Windows binaries for old version of gnome-games would still be useful in some cases. Anybody still have the file?
Closing as no-one has worked on Windows support for some time.
