For those of you who build your own installers, I've pushed all the changes to crew and to thg-installer to enable you to build win32/x64 capable installers. Except for one key point. The setup.py in tortoisehg/contrib/win32 only builds ThgShell.dll while the InnoSetup file now looks for both ThgShell.dll and ThgShell64.dll in the win32\shellext folder. So the first time you run the installer script it will fail because the ThgShell64.dll is not there. You'll need to copy that file into place (by building one or just faking one) and then re-starting InnoSetup. Sometime in the next couple of days we'll need to work through how to automate the building of both DLLs... or perhaps commit compiled versions of them into the installer repo. -- Steve Borho PS: I'm leaning towards using visual studio to build the DLLs that make it into the official packages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
