[Musicpd-dev-team] [RFC] libmpdclient win32 software installer
Hello, As many know libmpdclient2 is due any minute now for release, and the win32 binary will probably follow behind soon thereafter. I would like to create an installer so there's no question on how it's all done. I'm not familiar with how this should work and it makes me want to cry when I attempt to find out. Hoping that posting here and being lazy will help. Following is a conversion from the gmpc nsi file in which convert all instances of gmpc to libmpdclient and removed the start menu entries. The installation directory needs to be changed and possibly more. If I can't get help with this it won't be worth releasing a win32 binary. Please help!

nullsoft has a popular open source installer generator. could look into that.

You could write a Makefile.am target which creates this zip file. Client developers could then ship libmpdclient2.dll with their client. Sure, the long-term goal is to have one global libmpdclient2.dll, with a fancy installer, which is shared by all clients, but that's not too important today, for the first release.

(fixed top post) Yes, that's what I was posting; I posted an example NSI, the main problem is I'm unsure where global libraries go. I'd like to make sure I'm not mucking stuff up too much. I'd also like to know if a restart is required after install of global libraries. When it comes down to it, developers could distribute individually, or we could do this right in the first go-around and just have global from the get-go. -- avuton -- All opinions stated above are mine and do not necessarily reflect those of the US secret service. -- Come build with us!
