Introduction

This document explains how to prepare a WinGRASS release (as a
self-contained package installer) using the scripts contained
in the mswindows folder. In order to avoid mistakes or misunderstandings,
we highly recommend to follow each step and command
exactly as they are written in this document.

1. Install OSGeo4w Tree and Compile Grass

Follow the instructions
here
to download the OSGeo4W installer, install the required dependencies, and
build Grass from source.

Do not move on to step two until you have successfully
tested
your new version of Grass.

2. Create a GRASS self-contained Package

Copy all the content of the mswindows folder to a temporary directory, for
example c:\temp.

Edit lines 11-15 in the file c:\temp\GRASS-Packager.bat to
reflect the paths to your OSGeo4W tree (eg. c:\OSGeo4W) and
the GRASS version being packaged (eg. grass-7.0.svn).

Launch the file c:\temp\GRASS-Packager.bat and select
the option number 1.

When finished, you should have a GRASS self-contained release package
in c:\temp\GRASS-Release-Package.

Download README.html from here,
place in c:\temp\GRASS-Release-Package (update version numbers as necessary).

3. Remove OSGeo4W Traces from Package

Open c:\temp\GRASS-Release-Package\msys\msys.bat and remove
lines 11-16.

At the end of line 88 (also in msys.bat) change:

start %WD%rxvt -backspacekey  -sl 2500 -fg %FGCOLOR% -bg %BGCOLOR% -sr -fn Courier-12 -tn msys -geometry 80x25 -e /bin/sh --login -c "%*"

To:

if "x%*" == "x" start "MSYS 1.0" "%WD%rxvt" -backspacekey  -sl 2500 -fg %FGCOLOR% -bg %BGCOLOR% -sr -fn Courier-12 -tn msys -geometry 80x25 -e /bin/sh --login -i
if NOT "x%*" == "x" start "MSYS 1.0" "%WD%rxvt" -backspacekey  -sl 2500 -fg %FGCOLOR% -bg %BGCOLOR% -sr -fn Courier-12 -tn msys -geometry 80x25 -e /bin/sh --login -c "%*"

4. Install NSIS (2.45)

Download the NSIS installer

Install to c:\DevTools

5. Install NSIS: Untgz Plugin (1.0.16)

Download the NSIS Untgz Plugin

Unzip to c:\DevTools\Plugins\

6. Create the WinGRASS Installer

Open the the file c:\temp\GRASS-Installer.nsi.

At line 13 set the DEMOLOCATION_PATH varibale to the
demolocation folder in the source tree.
For example, c:\msys\local\src\grass-7.0.svn\demolocation

At line 18 set the INSTALLER_TYPE variable to "Release",
then, at lines 24-26, set the RELEASE_VERSION_NUMBER, the
RELEASE_SVN_REVISION and the RELEASE_BINARY_REVISION
variables.

Finally, right click on the file c:\temp\GRASS-Installer.nsi
and select Compile NSIS Script.

When finished, you should have the WinGRASS release installer in
c:\temp.
