As suggested in Issue 46 , the installer needs translations too.

Do you have any experience with translated NSI files (the installation system we are talking about is NSIS)
Feb 17, 2010
I have the NSIS installer kind of working so I am not starting again with installjammer, although anyone is free to try :-)
Feb 17, 2010
@2 nope, but I figure all is needed here is a text editor to translate some strings. Or am I wrong?
Feb 18, 2010
open the nsi file and see for yourself, there are no string!

I am giving up on the windows installer, because I can't make it work on all machines (the damned vc_redist problem). So, I'm disowning this issue, and hoping someone that knows about windows pakaging can help.

Can someone else please check it? I can't install NSIS at all... (unless there is a version that works on Ubuntu)

Please check out the following example of adding multiple languages to NSIS: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Examples/Modern%20UI/MultiLanguage.nsi

Thanks for the link. I may spend some time on this tomorrow, but... there is a more pressing problem with the windows installer, in that it ony works for like 50% of the users because of problems with the visual studio runtime.

Are you compiling it using Visual Studio or mingw? If you'll switch to mingw I don't think you'll have this problem
Feb 22, 2010
I am using the official binaries that are made using Visual Studio. I don't have the resources to rebuild everything with mingw (I have just a small windows VM)
Feb 22, 2010
The best IDEs for gcc compiling (to my opinion) are: NetBeans, Eclipse, Code:Blocks, and Dev-C++/wxDev-C++ (wx is quite buggy, the other one lacks many features in order to be a good IDE, Code:Blocks is much better, NetBeans is one of the most professional IDEs i've ever seen, and Eclipse is very heavy but relatively intuitive)

@6 why not just use a different installer? Try maybe installjammer.com - this shouldn't require visual studio libs (though it had some problems with non latin characters rendering a few versions back, I don't know if they fixed it yet).
Feb 23, 2010
The visual studio libs are reuired because the official python and pyqt binaries are built using Visual Studio.

If I was on your place I wouldn't ship python along with Marave, but leave it to the user to install all the dependencies.

@15, well, that would be just fine if I didn't want to have more than 5 Windows users ;-) |
