     136    * If Windows 3.1 support is absolutely not needed, Greenstone can be compiled with VC6:
     137          o (Errors compiling httpreq.c are due to VC++ -> use a different version, eg. 12.00.8804)
     138
     139 C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\VCVARS32.BAT
     140 nmake /f win32.mak
     141 nmake /f win32.mak LOCAL_LIBRARY=1
     142
     143    * Otherwise, compile Greenstone with VC4 (using the STLPort package):
     144
     145 C:\MSDEV\bin\VCVARS32.BAT
     146 nmake /f win32.mak GSDL_VC4=1
     147 nmake /f win32.mak GSDL_VC4=1 LOCAL_LIBRARY=1

     158    * Run make install (from top level gsdl directory)
     159    * In cgi-bin, run library to check for segfaults, then copy it and oaiserver into ../bin/linux

     161    * Strip all executables: strip bin/linux/*
     162
     163
     164    * GLI will be compiled by create_distributions.pl (it runs makegli.sh). But you need to make sure that it compiles with Java 1.5. If you do this in your release version, run clean.sh afterwards.

     167    * In the gsdl directory, run 'source setup.bash' if it hasn't already been run.
     168    * In the dist directory, remove any existing folders
     169    * Run /home/nzdl/for-distributions/bin/script/create_distributions.pl -version_num x.xx -output_dir `pwd` -no_cols
     170          o Before running this the first time, make sure you have done the Mac and Windows building at least once.
     171          o IMPORTANT: if you are generating a UNESCO CDROM release, use the -unesco option. This uses modified languages.xml, main.cfg, demo collect.cfg with only 4 languages
     172          o You can use the -NoChangeLog option while testing so the changelog is not generated each time.
     173          o This checks out greenstone into /tmp/gsdl and copies it over to ...dist. If you kill the process before it has been copied, you'll need to delete this directory, otherwise it will have a hissy fit next time.
     174          o NOTE: if you need to remake the installer with a couple of modified files, but not with all the source as it currently is:
     175                + Change the tag on the modified files: cvs tag -F tagname
     176                + Edit create_distributions.pl: want to export from the tag, not from 1 second ago. (x2, gsdl and gli)
     177    * Check no distribution contains non-core language interfaces (macrofiles, images)

     260UNESCO CDs
     261
     262    * To make an ISO image: ensure CD is finalized when written (see above)
     263          o On Linux: put the cd in the drive, then run "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cd.iso"
     264          o Rename cd.iso to whatever is appropriate:
     265                + unesco-greenstone-cd-2006.iso
     266          o Zip up the iso image and upload to [email protected]:/var/ftp/pub/unesco

     303          o Add a new item to home.dm
     304          o change the download paths in base.dm
     305    * E-mail mailing lists with release notice (greenstone-users and greenstone-devel)
     306          o Skim the ChangeLog to find the important changes.
     307          o Send the message to each mailing list separately, that way when people reply, it won't go to both lists.

     402Notes
     403
     404    * Linux installer (others too?) doesn't like being run from a path with spaces in it. But its OK installing greenstone into a path with spaces.
