Windows installer for the cppcheck
----------------------------------
The Wix Installer for Windows
=============================
Windows installer for both command line cppcheck and for QT-based GUI. All
needed runtimes and libraries are installed.
New cppcheck Windows installer is created with WiX:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/
Command line cppccheck shortcuts are created to start cmd.exe in installation
folder. So when the user selects start menu/desktop icon he gets command prompt
in cppcheck folder.
You'll need:
- latest Wix (3.0 or later)
- MSBuild (coming with Visual Studio, also with VS 2008 express)
- VS 2008 CRT merge module
Get the InnoSetup from:
http://www.innosetup.com/
Be sure to download the 'QuickStart Pack' as it installs some nice tools
like ISTool and preprocessor support.
Configuring
-----------
Files the installer needs:
/COPYING
/readme.txt
/AUTHORS
/src/Release/cppcheck.exe
/win_installer/icon.bmp
/win_installer/LargeLogo.bmp
/win_installer/
/gui/release/gui.exe
/gui/cppcheck_de.qm
/gui/cppcheck_en.qm
/gui/cppcheck_fi.qm
/gui/cppcheck_pl.qm
/gui/cppcheck_ru.qm
/gui/cppcheck_se.qm
Installer configuration is done in file config.wxi. Depending how you build
cppcheck you may need to alter the paths for binaries.
NOTE: Remember to convert COPYING and AUTHORS to Windows EOL format! Otherwise
Windows Notepad (default viewer) can't show then properly.
Product version and other info
------------------------------
VS Runtime files:
Copy following files to same folder:
- Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest
- msvcp90.dll
- msvcr90.dll
and modify RuntimesFolder -macro in begin of cppcheck.iss to point to the
folder where files are. You can find runtime files from VS installation or from
net.
Version number and product name are set in file productInfo.wxi.
NOTE: To make local installation of runtimes to work you must remove the
publicKeyToken="blahblah" -attribute from the manifest file.
Building installer
------------------
QT Libraries:
Visual Studio is used to build the GUI executable. And QT must be build with VS
also. When building QT make sure you build release targets!
Before building the installer make sure all the components are build:
- CLI executable (cppcheck.exe)
- GUI executable (gui.exe)
- Manual (manual.pdf)
Copy following files to same RuntimesFolder than VS runtime files:
- QtCore4.dll
- QtGui4.dll
- QtXml4.dll
And that runtime files are available:
- Qt runtimes (qtcore4.dll, qtgui4.dll and qtxml4.dll)
- MS CRT merge module (Microsoft_VC90_CRT_x86.msm)
Creating the installer executable:
#1 Open the ISTool and load cppcheck.iss
#2 Update the release version number:
- look for line "#define AppVersion"
#3 Check all files are present:
- from menu: Project / Verify files...
#4 Compile the installer
- from menu: Project / Compile Setup
Build installer by giving this command line in VS command prompt (or run
vcvars32.bat in DOS prompt first to setup environment):
If compilation succeeds, the installer executable is created into /Build
-folder. The filename is cppcheck-[version]-setup.exe.
> msbuild cppcheck.wixproj /p:Platform=x86,ProductVersion=X.YY
For example:
> msbuild cppcheck.wixproj /p:Platform=x86,ProductVersion=1.40
