# WinRAR.
== Get Boost Libraries ==
# PostgresSQL.
# TortoiseSVN 9(32 bit).
# Boost c++ libraries 1.34.0 .
# Visual Studio C++ Express Edition.
# Downloading & Installing Platform SDK.


==Downloading & Installing WinRAR:==
Install or build Boost 1_46_1 binary libraries and header/include source files.


# Go to www.download.com.
If you are simply building Exodus for packaging and release then you need only the release versions of Boost. You only need Boost debug libraries o develop/debug Exodus itself.
# In the the search engine, type WinRAR.
# Look for WinRAR 3.7, its would normally be first of the download list.
# Click on the big button saying Download WinRAR.
# You come to another web page, wait for a moment, and a little window pop up asking whether to save or run. It would be advisable to save it in a folder called Downloads.<br> (If you haven't already done so).
# There should be a few moments of downloading, depending on your internet connection. Then click Run, then click Run again.
# Click Install.
# A window should pop up called WinRAR set-up, click Ok.
# Done.


==Downloading and Installing PostgresSQL:==
=== Source 1 - build them from source ===


===Part 1: Downloading & Installing PostgresSQL===
[[Building Boost 32/64 on Windows]]


=== Source 2 - download from Exodus project ===


# Go to http://www.postgresql.org/
Header/Includes: [[Building_Boost_32/64_on_Windows#Get_Boost_Source]]
# In the search engine at the top right hand corner copy & paste <B>postgresql-8.1.9-1.zip</b> and press enter.
# Click the one pointed to you by the red arrow<br>[[Image:getpgSQL1.jpg]]<br>if not included, look for something similar, keeping in mind you need the <B>postgresql-8.1.9-1.zip</b>)
# Click on the link shown to you by the red arrow <br>[[Image:FTPbrowser.JPG]]
# Click the link "Win32"
# Click the link "postgresql-8.2.5-1.zip"
# Now a window will pop up asking whether you want to save or run the installation program. Save it in your download folder, if you haven't created one do so. The purpose of having a Download file is that every time you download a big file you save it so that you don't have to waste your time downloading it again. However with small files, there is no point in saving them because of the small amount of time they take to download.
# Look in your download folder for postgresql-8.1.9-1.zip
# Right click on postgresql-8.1.9-1.zip click Extract to postgresql-v8.1.9-1.zip\ 
# Go to the folder you just extracted to in your download folder.
# Double click on the file postgresql-8.1.msi, and to check whether you have the right version, look at the size, is it 134Kb.
# A window should have popped up, saying what language you want to use in the installation. Select your preferred language. (if you have any other windows close them down and SAVE your work)
# This window is important, so don't miss any thing out. Scroll down to Database drivers, and click on the small triangle pointing downwards, a small list of options will appear click "Entire feature will be unavailable".
# Scroll to the very bottom to Development, now just like the other one click on the small triangle pointing downwards and again the options will appear, this time click "Entire feature will be installed on your local driver". Click Next.
# In the next window type into the User name field any random name, as you will not have to remember it. Then click Next. Click Yes. Click Ok.
# In the current window there are some drop down menus you MUST change:
#* The field next to Encoding, use the drop down menu to find UTF-8.
#* The field next to Locale, use the drop down menu to find your language.
# Type in a password and take a note of it and click Next.
# Then you come to a window called Enable contrib modules, tick Tsearch2 near the right hand side and click Next.
# Then to start the Installation click Next.


===Part 2: Set-up & Configuration===
Binaries: http://exodusdb.googlecode.com/files/boost1461-vc100-x86x64-rd.zip


# Go to your start menu, all programs, PostgreSQL 8.1, pgadmin III. Click the close button for the tips.
Unzip the binaries into the main boost source/header/includes like this:
# Double click on PostgreSQL database server 8.1 (Localhost:5432), and it will ask you for the password you took note of in Part1 of the exercise. Type it in.
# On the right hand side of the window there are the files of the SQL Server. To make a new database right click on Database(1)and click the New Database option. Type in NEOSYS into the name field and click Ok.
# On the right hand side of the window look for Login Roles (1), at the bottom of the list.
# Right click it and click the New Login Role.
# Type in NEOSYS into the name field<br>[[Image:loginrole.JPG]]<br>
# Type in a pass and make a note of it.

# Go to your browser, copy and paste the web address into your URL "http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html".
=== Source 3 - download from BoostPro (but no x64! and no Unicode regex(?)) ===


# The web page should have a title of "Subversion packets", and have a dark green theme.
Installs includes and binaries.
# Scroll down the page, and look for Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003.
# Look through the text for "If you want a pretty Win32 GUI, TortoiseSVN integrates nicely with the Window Explorer.", near the bottom. Click on the link highlight in blue (tortoiseSVN).
# Look for "Latest Version" in a green bar and underneath that, in the text look for "download page" and click it.
# You should be looking at a web page with a blue tortoise. The title should also be "TortoiseSVN".
# Look for the subheading "Download Application"
# Click on "TortoiseSVN-1.4.5.10425-win32-svn-1.4.5.msi 32 bit.
# You come to a web page with a URL starting with "http://sourseforge.net/ bla bla bla bla", either a window automatically pops up asking whether to save or run, or you right click on a beige horizontal bar at the top of the web browser window, and select "Download file".
# Click Save, and save the file into your download folder. (make a folder named download, if you haven't already done so) then click Run, and click Run again.
# When the TortoiseSVN window set-up pops up, click next.

Install or build Boost 1_46_1 binary libraries and header/include source files.

If you are simply building Exodus for packaging and release then you need only the release versions of Boost. You only need Boost debug libraries o develop/debug Exodus itself.

Source 1 - build them from source

Building Boost 32/64 on Windows

Source 2 - download from Exodus project

Header/Includes: Building_Boost_32/64_on_Windows#Get_Boost_Source

Binaries: http://exodusdb.googlecode.com/files/boost1461-vc100-x86x64-rd.zip

Unzip the binaries into the main boost source/header/includes like this: 

boost_1_46_1\stage32
boost_1_46_1\stage64

Source 3 - download from BoostPro (but no x64! and no Unicode regex(?))

Installs includes and binaries.

See Installing_Boost but get:

  • Version 1_46_1
  • Visual Studio 2010
  • mt and mt-debug version

Checkout Exodus

To commit any bug fixes or developments, send your gmail address here to get a password.

GUI

  1. Create a folder called "exodus" F:\exodus
  2. Right exodus click and choose "SVN checkout"
  3. url of respository: HTTPS://exodusdb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/

TUI

svn co HTTPS://exodusdb.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ c:\exodus

You can use all the power of subversion to keep your build directory up to date, select previous versions of Exodus and generally be in control.

NB always use HTTPS not http for the subversion link below - just in case you need to commit any changes back up into the subversion repository.

Configure Exodus for Developing, Building, Packing, Uploading

copy the configlocalEXAMPLE.cmd to configlocal.cmd and edit it to reflect your configuration. Only configure those stages that you plan to do.

If you are only building x64 then you don't need to set the x32 variables. Note that BOOST32 and BOOST64 may point to the same folder since the headers/includes are the same and the binaries are in different libs eg stage64 or lib64 etc.

You can run clean, dev, make, pack, upload etc by just clicking on them without opening a command prompt.

configlocalEXAMPLE.cmd as at 2010/5/20

for packing, you need to edit version.cmd, for example 

set EXO_MAJOR_VER=11
set EXO_MINOR_VER=5
set EXO_MICRO_VER=28
set EXO_BUILD_VER=0

Either Build/Develop Using Visual Studio

The exodus_all.sln relies on environment variables to identify location of boost, postgresql. All the necessary environment variables are set in the fixed config.cmd and your local configlocal.cmd.

To open visual studio with all the right environment variables set you must run dev.cmd which calls config.cmd and then opens your solution 

dev.cmd
  1. Select Configuration: Release or Debug
  2. Select Platform: x64 or Win32
  3. Build the solution
  4. Check the startup project is exodus_cli
  5. Debug/Run the solution. You should get an exodus/cmd command console.
  6. Type testsort, edic etc. configexodus may require adminstrator access to install pgexodus.dll into Postgresql's bin directory.

Or Build Using Scripts or Command Line

Once configlocal.cmd is setup then making is a completely automatic process. Currently configlocal.cmd only supports one configuration/platform (e.g. Release/x64) at a time. 

make.cmd
clean.cmd

Packaging Exodus

Once configlocal.cmd is setup then packing is a completely automatic process. Look for output files like exodus-x86-11.5.3.exe. 

pack.cmd

Uploading Exodus

Once configlocal.cmd is setup then uploading new versions is a completely automatic process. 

upload.cmd
