I don't know if you have a strong opinion, but I think you should also give my installer a try. Some
time ago Christian Ridderström reviewed its source code and as result I think it is well documented.
It will be possible to implement the new features like hunspell and native application also with my
installer.
Here is an overview about the installer structure:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/development/Win32/packaging/AltInstaller/informations/InstallerStructure.pdf
In all files in (nsh/nsi files are textfiles)
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/development/Win32/packaging/AltInstaller
I documented what every routine does and why, which libraries are used and
where they are located.
With the script
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/development/Win32/packaging/AltInstaller/Build-all.nsi
you can compile all 3 installer variants at once with one click. All you need
is to have
- NSIS installed
- the source code archive you find at my Berlios project page:
- copy the 3 files from this archive to NSIS's DLL folder
- FindProcDLL.dll
- InetLoad.dll
- Console.dll
If you don't like things in my installer, I'll answer everything you want to know so that you can
modify the installer as you like. Everybody is free to make changes to the installers via SVN!
No matter what are you plans are, but at least give it a try by looking at the code. (I'm curious
about your opinion.)
regards Uwe
