For packaging, a make dist rule would also need to copy the dist files
(libXpm.dll for example) before invoking makedist.bat to really automate
the entire process.
I agree with you, Jason, that installing shortcuts should be a separate
step and not the included in the normal make install (for pretty much
the same reasons you pointed out). But that to me, is a separate issue
from packaging.
I went ahead and implemented the following so far in my local branch:
- added an option "--distfiles [path to file, for example libXpm.dll]"
to configure.bat.
Adding those external binaries was the only manual step left in the
process and can also be automated now.
- added build target 'dist' to makefile.w32-in.
It basically does a 'make install' without creating shortcuts, copies
the distfiles, i.e. the libXpm.dll to the bin directory and then calls
'makedist.bat' to create the zip file for distribution.
One problem is that calling makedist.bat means a dependency on the
trunk, since it is not available in the source tarball. Can we add the
/admin/nt directory and its contents to the source tarball? Or move the
files to ../nt? Then, the 'make dist' target would be able to create a
zip from just the tarball, without having to have the trunk available.
But since the directory structure is the same, running 'make dist' would
also work in the trunk itself to easily create binary snapshots of the
trunk.
The makedist.bat needs to be changed a little because it expects the
files to be in a folder emacs-xx.x.xx as they are in the tarball, but
that is a trivial change change to make it more generic and automated.
Also, is there any way to get the version number from a file contained
in the source tar ball? Then make dist would always output a zip file
properly named according to the current version.
Any thoughts?
