Windows Installer Build Scripts

We use msys2 for creating the Windows installer and development on Windows because that is what PyGObject currently supports.

Use a Full MSYS2 Environment

• Download msys2 64-bit from https://msys2.org
• Follow instructions on https://msys2.org
• Execute C:\msys64\mingw64.exe
• Run pacman -Syu to update packages
• Run pacman -S git to install git
• Run git clone https://github.com/gaphor/gaphor.git
• Execute packaging/windows/msys2-install.sh to install all the needed dependencies.
• Run gaphor by typing gaphor

Creating an Installer

Simply run packaging/windows/build-installer.sh and both the installer and the portable installer should appear in this directory.
