eSim Installer (Windows OS)
====
It contains all the documenation for making eSim executable (using PyInstaller) and eSim Installation Script on Windows 7 and above.
## eSim Executable:
1. Download and install "Python-3.5.2", "Git For Windows". Use "Git Bash" for all following shell commands.
Reference - https://gitforwindows.org/
2. Add alias to python.exe in Git shell:
$ alias python='winpty python.exe' #Need to be done for each new shell created
3. Download `virtualenv` package as:
$ pip install virtualenv
4. Create a virtual environment as:
$ virtualenv eSim
5. Activate the virtual environment as:
$ source eSim/Scripts/activate
6. Install all Python dependencies for eSim within the virtual environment as:
- Install PyInstaller, Matplotlib, tornado, SetupTools through pip :
$ pip install pyinstaller
$ pip install matplotlib
$ pip install tornado
$ pip install --upgrade 'setuptools<45.0.0'
- Install PyQt4 through pip (Reference - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22640640/how-to-install-pyqt4-on-windows-using-pip) :
$ pip install --upgrade 'sip<5.0.0'
$ pip install <wheel_package_of_PyQt4>
> Note :
- If there are any issues regarding loading of DLL files, refer : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2738879/cannot-import-pyqt4-qtgui
- If above step works, then goto step 7.
- Install PyQt4 from source :
- Add following Linux packages to MINGW64 of Git :
- `make` (get the version without guile)
- `wget`
Reference - https://gist.github.com/evanwill/0207876c3243bbb6863e65ec5dc3f058
- Install MINGW64 on your system and merge all the files from `mingw-w64` to `Git\mingw-w64` (do not replace or copy blindly).
- Now open Git-Bash and run following commands :
$ mkdir eSim/build
$ cd eSim/build/
$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyqt/files/PyQt4/PyQt-4.12.3/PyQt4_gpl_x11-4.12.3.tar.gz
$ wget https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Downloads/sip/4.19.21/sip-4.19.21.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf sip-4.19.21.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf PyQt4_gpl_x11-4.12.3.tar.gz
$ cd sip-4.19.21/
$ python configure.py --sip-module PyQt4.sip --platform win32-g++
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../PyQt4_gpl_x11-4.12.3/
$ python configure.py
$ make
$ make install
7. Test whether only eSim dependencies are available or not:
$ pip freeze
> Note : Following dependencies should be available -
> - PyQt4
> - matplotlib
> - numpy
> - dateutil
> - pyparsing
> - six
> - cycler.py
8. Download eSim Manual from eSim website, add it to `library/browser/User-Manual/` and update the file name of Manual in `src/browser/UserManual.py` accordingly.
9. Create spec file as:
$ pyi-makespec --onefile -n eSim <path_to_eSim>/src/frontEnd/Application.py --icon=<path_to_eSim_logo>
10. Create onefile executable using pyinstaller as:
$ pyinstaller -F --clean eSim.spec
11. Verify whether all eSim `src` files (`*.py`) have been included in `Analysis-00.toc` file under the build folder generated by PyInstaller.
## How to package eSim?
1. Update `VERSION` file to this release number. Also, update version number in NSI script and `Installation.txt` file.
2. Compress `spice` folder in zip format (Make sure that there is folder named `spice` inside this compressed file).
3. Add eSim executable file to the eSim source folder. Also, remove following files from the eSim source folder:
- `.git` folder
- `code` folder
- `src` folder
- conf.py
- setup.py
- index.rst
- requirement.txt
- .gitignore
- .travis.yml
- `Examples\NGHDL_Examples\` folder
4. Remove `eSim_Nghdl.lib` file from `eSim\library\kicadLibrary\kicad_eSim-Library\`. Also, remove `library` folder, duplicate files from `template` and `modules` folders under `eSim\library\kicad\Libary\`.
5. Now, compress `eSim\library\kicadLibrary` in zip format, place it at `eSim\library` and delete that folder.
6. Compress `eSim` folder in zip format (Make sure that there is folder named `eSim` inside this compressed file).
7. Add following files/folder to the installer folder:
- KiCad installer.
- License file (`rtf` format).
- Logo (`ico` format).
- Spice (compressed file in `zip` format) containing spice folder.
- eSim (compressed file in `zip` format) containing eSim folder.
- `esim-setup-script` file.
8. Compile the NSI script (`esim-setup-script` file). Now only use the generated installer for distribution.
