Scripts to build OpenSlides portable

OpenSlides Portable

Overview

Scripts to build a portable version of OpenSlides for Windows. Other plattforms (Mac OS X, Linux) are planned for the future.

Requirements

• OpenSlides 2.x
• OpenSlides-GUI

Build a Windows portable Version

This is an instruction to create a portable Windows distribution of OpenSlides.

1. Install Python 3.3+ and Setuptools

   Follow the instructions in the README of OpenSlides.

2. Install OpenSlides 2.x package with all requirements:

   $ pip install openslides-2.x.tar.gz
   

3. Install OpenSlides-GUI package with all requirements:

   $ pip install openslides-gui
   

4. Install pywin32 for your Python version from:

   http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/

   Pywin32 is used to update the version resource of the prebuild openslides.exe. It is not strictly required but at least for published releases it is highly advisable.

5. Run:

   $ python make_portable.py
   

The portable OpenSlides distribution is created as a zip archive in the 'dist' directory.

NOTE: Creating the portable Windows distribution of OpenSlides is not possible if Python is installed in 64-bit(!) version.
