BuildAndRelease - robmcmullen/peppy GitHub Wiki

Creating the files to release peppy on to the download page is a complicated process. It requires a bunch of prerequisites and is not optimized for anything but my own setup at the moment.

Currently, I perform the build on a linux machine and ssh into a windows machine to create the .exe installer. Mac OS X is out of the picture at the moment, but hopefully that will change in the near future.

To do a complete build, you need the following:

• a svn checkout of peppy
• bash
• GNU Make
• sphinx
• sphinx-wxoptimize
• pdflatex (optional; for creating install instructions in PDF format)

For the python-based prerequisites, they can be easily installed (ha!) using:

easy_install sphinx
easy_install sphinx-wxoptimize
