Windows and Mac installer
samdolt opened this issue · comments
Add an easy way to build and package for Windows and Mac using "craft" from KDE
https://community.kde.org/Craft
Craft manages dependencies and builds libraries and applications from source
Craft can create setup.exe and OSX bundle
Proof of concept:
- Source: https://github.com/samdolt/glabels-qt
- Craft Config File: https://github.com/samdolt/glabels-qt/blob/master/glabels-qt.py
- CI Config File: https://github.com/samdolt/glabels-qt/blob/master/azure-pipelines.yml
- CI Build: https://dev.azure.com/dolt-ch-lab/glabels-qt/_build
If this method would be accepted, I can make a pull request (My code need some cleaning), and add support for a macOS CI build.

In any case it's worth to publish such a -- maybe still buggy and incomplete -- Windows installer, as long as we don't have a stable (or at least beta) release anyway. +1 from me.
After a little work, I have a working installer for Windows 7/8/10 64 bit (only tested on W10):
Need only 90MB and create a start menu entry.
This installer was build on Azure Pipeline, a free CI tools for public Github repository by Micrososft.

I will make a pull-request with a cleaned up version of azure-pipelines.yml later this weeks. Then after enabling Azure Pipeline on this repo we could have an installer for every commit in master, and Windows Build status for every pull-request
Sounds good! I will give it a try next week.

I wanted to try this out, but I got a ... is not authorized to access this resource message.
Is there an (easy?) way to build a 32bit Windows version?
Would be amazing to have it available via Chocolatey !
