This file is intented for people wishing to run Trelby using the sources, i.e., not using a released package. This means mostly developers who want to inspect/modify the code. 1. Requirements =============== You will need Python (2.6 or 2.7) and wxWidgets (2.8) and its Python bindings to run Trelby. You also need the lxml Python library (http://lxml.de/). To build the manual, you will also need xsltproc. 2. Preparing data files ======================= Trelby needs special preparation for 3 of its data files. If you do not do this, that aspect of the program will not work. * Name list $ make names.txt.gz * Dictionary $ make dict_en.dat.gz * Manual (PDF) $ make manual.pdf You can run "make dist", which prepares all 3 and also generates a Linux distribution package which you can ignore. 2.5. Preparing for a Windows build ================================ If you're looking to package for Windows, you'll need to place the windows redistributable runtime file vcredist_x86.exe in the trelby directory. be sure to have the following installed: * python-2.7.2.msi - py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.7.exe - wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.12.1-py27.exe - nsis-2.46-setup.exe - lxml-2.3.win32-py2.7.exe - pycrypto exe If you go with python 2.6, get the relevant py2exe and wxpython as well. Install vcredist_x86.exe locally. On Win Vista/7, msvcp90.dll will not be under windows/system32, but under windows/winsxs. Hunt this file down, and copy it over to system32. This just causes duplication, nothing else, but is required so nsis won't complain about a missing DLL. Finally ensure you had run make dist in the directory on a linux machine, so all files are in place. (and ensure vcredist_x86.exe is here as well) Then, on windows, to get the installer: 1) cd <trelby directory> 2) build.bat 4) nsis.bat Your freshly created Setup-Trelby-<version>.exe should be ready. 3. Running Trelby ================= On Linux: $ cd ~/trelby/ $ src/trelby.py --test On Windows: $ cd \trelby $\python23\python src/trelby.py --test sample.trelby (Substitute correct path to python.) The file t.bat contains the last command. 4. Differences from packaged versions ===================================== The "--test" command line argument makes Trelby differ from normal running as follows: -No splash window is displayed on startup. -No global directory locations are used; configuration/state files instead go under ".trelby" in the current directory. -Unhandled exceptions are not caught and reported in a dialog box, instead, they are printed normally to stderr. -The following characters activate special behavior: -"å": Load "sample.trelby". -"¤": Call function MyCtrl.cmdTest. -"½": Time how long 50 screen refreshes take. (The above characters are in the ISO-8859-1 character set.)
