This is the Win32 installer generator for JOSM, to create a Windows like installer. This should ease installation and provides a reasonable set of default preferences for Windows users. Currently only josm and a small assortment of josm plugins is included in the installer. As other osm related applications like osmarender and mapnik have a lot more UNIX related dependencies that will make them complicated to install, only JOSM is currently installed "the easy way". install ------- simply execute josm-setup-latest.exe uninstall --------- use "control panel / software" to uninstall current state of the art ------------------------ The installer will currently add: - josm into "C:\Program Files\JOSM" (or the corresponding international dir) - josm icons to the desktop and quick launch bar - josm file associations to .osm and .gpx files - some assorted plugins (more to follow?) - default preferences to the current user profile (if not already existing) When the installed josm.exe is executed, it should ask the user to download Java runtime if it's not already installed. build the installer ------------------- 1.) You will need to download and install the following on your machine: - cygwin bash and wget - launch4j - http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/ (currently 3.6, older 2.x will NOT work!) - NSIS - http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ (any recent version should do) 2.) Edit the two absolute paths in the file josm-setup-unix.sh (in the calls to launch4jc and makensis) 3.) Start a cygwin shell and call ./josm-setup-unix.sh how the installer is build -------------------------- First, wget will download the required files (e.g. the josm plugins) into the downloads subdir. Then jaunch4j wraps the josm.jar into a josm.exe, which makes registration of file extensions a lot easier. Then NSIS is called to create the actual josm-setup-latest.exe. known issues ------------ - absolute paths in josm-setup-unix.sh - josm should support "global settings" instead of only the personal profile - install all josm plugins by default and only enable them according to user wishes? build the installer under Linux / Debian ---------------------------------------- It's possible to build the installer under Linux. Beside the things mentioned above, the NSIS Debian package currently has an incomplete System.dll (in the plugins directory). This dll needs to be replaced by the System.dll included in the NSIS zip package, e.g. from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Development_Files.
