-====
-
-
-It contains all the documenation for making NGHDL executable (using PyInstaller) and packging for eSim Installation Script on Windows 7 and above.
-
-
-## NGHDL 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:
-
- $ python -m virtualenv nghdl
-
-5. Activate the virtual environment as:
-
- $ source nghdl/Scripts/activate
-
-6. Install all Python dependencies for NGHDL within the virtual environment as:
-
- - Install PyInstaller, SetupTools through pip :
-
- $ pip install pyinstaller
- $ 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>
-
- Download PyQt4 Wheel from - [https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyqt4]
- Where cp37 represents the Python version i.e. 3.7.x and so on
-
- > 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.
-
-7. Test whether only NGHDL dependencies are available or not:
-
- $ pip freeze
-
-> Note : Following dependencies should be available -
-> - PyQt4
-> - sip
-> - altgraph
-> - future
-> - pefile
-> - pyinstaller
-> - pywin32-ctypes
-
-
-8. Create spec file as:
-
- $ pyi-makespec --onefile -n nghdl <path_to_nghdl>/src/ngspice_ghdl.py
-
-9. Create onefile executable using pyinstaller as:
-
- $ pyinstaller -F --clean nghdl.spec
-
-10. Verify whether all NGHDL `src` files (`*.py`) have been included in `Analysis-00.toc` file under the build folder generated by PyInstaller.
-11. nghdl.exe is generated at the dist folder.
-
-
-
-## How to package NGHDL with eSim ?
-
-1. Place the nghdl.exe generated from the above process at the location /nghdl/src/
-
-2. Delete all python files (files ending in .py) at /nghdl/src/
-
-3. Remove the following files at /nghdl/
- - .gitignore
- - GHDLside.md
- - Workflow.md
-
-4. Place **nghdl** folder containing `src folder`, `Example folder` & `LICENSE` under folder named eSim/
-
-5. Final directory structure should be:
-- eSim/nghdl/Example
-- eSim/nghdl/src
-- eSim/nghdl/LICENSE
-
-6. Compress the `eSim` folder from step 4 in 7z format (Make sure that there is folder named `eSim` inside this compressed file) and name it as `nghdl-src.7z`.\
-(7z compression tool can be downloaded from - https://www.7-zip.org/download.html )
-
-7. ALong with `nghdl-src.7z` from step 5, place the following 7z files at the installer folder for eSim.
-(these can be obtained under *sources/* folder in the repository )
-- ghdl.7z
-- MSYS.7z
-- mingw64.7z
-
-- ngspice-nghdl.7z ( this file can be obtained by decompressing `ngspice-nghdl.tar.xz` file present at `master branch` of this repository and recompressing using 7z tool)
-
-8. Place the script `installnghdl.nsi` at the eSim installer location.
-
-9. Follow the rest of the instructions for packging eSim [https://github.com/FOSSEE/eSim/tree/installers/Windows] and compile the NSI script (`esim-setup-script.nsi` file). Now only use the generated installer for distribution.
