-The latest 2 steps are quite easy. -Go to folder kvirccvs\kvirc\win32build and run makedist.vbs file. -Then run the process, on which end you'll get a folder named pakage; be sure inside -there are kvirc.exe, kvilib.dll, the folder with every KVIrc module and the following dlls: - -ssleay32.dll -libeay32.dll -qt-mtnc3321.dll -perl58.dll -zlib1.dll -idleui.dll -msvcr80.dll - - -If you see something missing just run up a search onto your system and copy them into -the pakage directory. -Check even the file Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest is placed both in root folder and sub folder -modules, otherwise copy it into them (files are stored into kvirccvs\kvirc\data\manifests ; -in this last case you will only need to rename the given file -Microsoft.VC80.CRT.modules.manifest into Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest before you put it in -the modules folder). - -@ Creating setup - -Easypeasy! -After installation of Innosetup launch file KVIrc.iss that houses in folder -kvirccvs\kvirc\win32build and run the script so that at the end of the process you'll find -a freshy hot setup.exe in folder kvirccvs\kvirc\win32build\package\setup. -If you did chose NSIS: right click on the KVIrc.nsi installation script that is found in -folder kvirccvs\kvirc\win32build and run Compile NSIS Script. -This way you'll have a KVIrc.VERSION-dev-DATE.exe in your actual directory!
