Howto build the Developer installer

• Install ​7 Zip and ​NSIS
• Downlod the build folder
• Extract to a local folder
• Download all dependencies as per InstallationGuidelines/Windows/Developer/Manual
  • Put the python-2.7.11.msi in the same folder as the .NSI-file is
  • If including numpy, rename numpy-1.7.1-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe as numpy.exe
  • Rename pywin32-218.win32-py2.7.exe as pywin.exe
• Use 7zip to extract all other library installers
  • Copy the extracted files into the right folders:
    • Contents of the PLATLIB or PURELIB folder into the site-packages/<LIBNAME>/ folder. (pyreadline into iPython folder)
    • Scripts (IPython only) into the scripts/<LIBNAME>/
    • Dlls (Shapely only) into dlls/<LIBNAME>/ (remove from site-packages)
• Copy web2py and eden to the working-copy directory. Folder structure should be: /working-copy/web2py/applications/eden.
  • Include the .git files, otherwise web2py and eden can't be updated later.
  • From web2py, remove httpserver.log
  • From eden, remove databases/*, errors/*, sessions/*, uploads/*, models/000_config.py & models/0000_update_check.py
• or if using fresh web2py, remove the 'examples' & 'welcome' web2py applications and add a fresh 000_config.py

Now you are ready to compile the installer:

• Open NSIS and click on "Compile NSI scripts" -> File -> Load script..., Select the NSI file and wait until compilation is complete.

The installer should be in the same directory as the NSI file is, named Eden-Python-Installer-Dev.exe.

• this can then be uploaded to Trac server & placed in /var/www/downloads

Note: Numpy is compiled based on the processors SSE-Support, so it can't be extracted correctly. Pywin is also not extractable. Just copy the installers into the same folder as the .nsi file is. There is no easy way around that.
