Instructions for creating a windows package for q:

The installation is based on a wine docker container.

mkdir -p dist/windows

pushd dist/windows

fetch all files from https://github.com/harelba/packages-for-q/tree/master/artifactory-for-packaging into that folder.

tar xvzf PyInstaller-2.1.tar.gz

Fix pyinstaller to work around a bug by running the following command (use gsed for osx or sed for linux):
gsed -i '1587s/^.*$/            if tpl[2] in ["BINARY", "DATA"]:/' ./PyInstaller-2.1/PyInstaller/build.py

popd


d=`pwd`
cid1=`docker run -d -v ${d}:/q -e VNC_PASSWORD=newPW -p 5900:5900 suchja/x11server`
cid2=`docker run -d --rm -i --link ${cid1}:xserver --volumes-from ${cid1} suchja/wine:latest /bin/bash`

sleep 1

function kill_container {
  tmp=`docker kill ${cid1} ${cid2}`
}
trap kill_container EXIT

docker exec -it ${cid2} /bin/bash 


inside the docker container prompt:

  export DISPLAY=xserver:0

  wine wineboot --init

  cd ~/.wine/dosdevices/

  ln -s /q "q:"

  wine msiexec /i q:\\dist\\windows\\python-2.7.13.msi /q

  wine q:\\dist\\windows\\pywin32-219.win32-py2.7.exe

  mkdir ~/.wine/drive_c/q-build-environment

  cp -r /q/dist/windows/PyInstaller-2.1 ~/.wine/drive_c/q-build-environment/

  cd /q/dist

  wine q:\\dist\\windows\\nsis-2.46-setup.exe - install to c:\q-build-environment\nsis

   
  wine c:\\python27\\python.exe c:\\q-build-environment\\PyInstaller-2.1\\pyinstaller.py -F --distpath=win_output --workpath=win_build q:\\bin\\q

  ### Don't forget to change the version in the command below:

  wine c:\\q-build-environment\\nsis\\makensis.exe -DVERSION=1.6.2.0 q:\\dist\\q-TextAsData-with-path.nsi

run the installation file and check that the install works properly:

  wine setup.exe

move the installation to the packages folder:

  mv /q/dist/setup.exe /q/packages/setup-q-<version>.exe

exit from the docker container
