This feature requires EPrints version 3.2.1 or later |
Note: this page is only for those wishing to build a Win32 installer of the EPrints package. If you wish to install EPrints on Windows see Installing EPrints 3 on Win32.
Requirements
- Microsoft Windows XP SP3 or later with .NET.
To build the Zip source package:
- Subversion
- Perl + XML::LibXML (see Installing EPrints 3 on Win32)
- gnuwin32 zip tool
WiX
Download and install the latest stable version of WiX (3.0 as of writing) from http://wix.sourceforge.net/.
Ignore any errors reported due to missing Visual Studio (we don't need it).
Note: you will need to use the command-line tools from WiX so you may wish to relocate it to somewhere more convenient than Program Files.
Srvany.exe
Download and install the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools.
Once installed copy the srvany.exe file to a convenient location (you can now uninstall the resource kit if you wish to).
EPrints MSI Package
Download the EPrints Win32 installation builder file (eprints-XXX-win32.zip) and unpack it to somewhere convenient. Copy srvany.exe to the unpacked directory (the same location as eprints.wsx).
To build the Zip file from EPrints source:
svn co https://svn.eprints.org/eprints/tools/release perl makepackage.pl --win32 --zip nightly
Building the MSI
Start a command-prompt and change to the directory you unpacked eprints-XXX-win32.zip to.
If you do not have the WiX tools in your path you will need to prepend the full path to the WiX command-line tools for candle and light
candle eprints.wsx light -ext WixUIExtension eprints.wixobj
You should now have a "eprints.msi" installation package.
To continue installing EPrints follow the instructions at Installing EPrints 3 on Win32.
