Unitex/GramLab Setup Installer for Windows

Unitex/GramLab is an open source, cross-platform, multilingual, lexicon- and grammar-based corpus processing suite.

This NSIS script is used to create the Unitex/GramLab setup installers for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) on POSIX compliant systems. NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System) is a scripting tool to create Windows installers. Installers are generated by using the makensis program to compile a NSIS script (.nsi) into an executable. NSIS is released under an open source license and is completely free for any use. For more details, please visit the nsis website.

Script dependencies

• NSIS distribution (version >= 3.0). Type makensis -VERSION to test your version.
  If you need an update version, please visit nsis
• GNU awk (version >= 3.0) Type awk --version to test your version.
  If you need an update version, please visit http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/

Script compilation

Usage:
makensis -DVER_MAJOR=# -DVER_MINOR=# -DVER_REVISION=# [OPTIONS] unitex.nsi

For a full list of compiler flags supported by this program, just type makensis unitex.nsi [return] at the command line. For a full list of parameters and further information about the makensis command, type makensis [return].

Example

Before beginning, please remember that this program only compiles on POSIX compliant systems (i.e. not on Windows). This is mainly due to the use of the !system command thats runs with /bin/sh. There aren't any plans for a Windows support at the moment.

1. Download the Unitex/GramLab package source containing the Unitex/GramLab source distribution.
2. Unzip all files in a folder at one time.
3. Take notice of the main folder name:
   Unitex-GramLab-${VER_MAJOR}.${VER_MINOR}${VER_SUFFIX}, e.g.
   Unitex-GramLab-3.1 VER_MAJOR=3 VER_MINOR=1 VER_SUFFIX=""
   Unitex-GramLab-3.1rc VER_MAJOR=3 VER_MINOR=1 VER_SUFFIX="rc"
4. Take notice of the parent folder name, i.e. the directory where the
   Unitex/GramLab distribution directory is placed. This directory will be your ${INPUT_BASEDIR} location.
5. Create the final setup installer typing:
   makensis -DANONYMOUS_BUILD -DINPUT_BASEDIR=path -DVER_MAJOR=number -DVER_MINOR=number -DVER_SUFFIX=suffix unitex.nsi
   For example:
   makensis -DANONYMOUS_BUILD -DINPUT_BASEDIR=. -DVER_MAJOR=3 -DVER_MINOR=1 -DVER_SUFFIX=beta unitex.nsi
   This will create an executable named: Unitex-GramLab-3.1beta_anonymous_win32-setup.exe

Non-anonymous builds are further documented here

Governance Model

Unitex/GramLab project decision-making is based on a community meritocratic process, anyone with an interest in it can join the community, contribute to the project design and participate in decisions. The Unitex/GramLab Governance Model describes how this participation takes place and how to set about earning merit within the project community.

Spelling

Unitex/GramLab is spelled with capitals "U" "G" and "L", and with everything else in lower case. Excepting the forward slash, do not put a space or any character between words. Only when the forward slash is not allowed, you can simply write “UnitexGramLab”.

It's common to refer to the Unitex/GramLab Core as "Unitex", and to the Unitex Project-oriented IDE as "GramLab". If you are mentioning the distribution suite (Core, IDE, Linguistic Resources and others bundled tools) always use "Unitex/GramLab".
