This page explains the process of building the Picard installes for Windows. It only works for Picard 1.2 and newer, which no longer supports AmpliFIND.
Requirements
- Python 2.7.x
- http://python.org/download/
- Download and install "Python 2.7.x Windows Installer"
- Add C:\Python27 to %PATH%
- PyQt 4.10.x
- http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download
- Download and install "PyQt4-4.10.x-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.x-x32.exe"
- libdiscid
- http://musicbrainz.org/doc/libdiscid
- Download "libdiscid-0.6.1-win32.zip" and put "discid.dll" in your Windows\System32 folder
- Pip for Windows
- https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/python/pip-for-windows
- Download to a location you find again (no installation)
- in Pip_Win:
pip install mutagen
for Mutagen (1.22 tested)pip install discid
for python-discid (1.1.x tested)
- gettext
- http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gettext.htm
- Add the gettext folder to %PATH% (normally C:\Programs\GnuWin32\bin)
- Visual C++ 2008 Express
- http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7729279
- Download and install "vcsetup.exe"
- Chromaprint
- http://acoustid.org/chromaprint
- Download "chromaprint-fpcalc-0.6-win32.zip" and put "fpcalc.exe" to the Picard source code directory
- py2exe 0.6.9
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/py2exe/0.6.9/
- Download and install "py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.7.exe"
- NSIS 2.46 (only if you want to create Picard.exe)
- http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download
- Download and install "nsis-2.46-setup.exe"
Running Picard From Sources
Before you can run Picard from sources, you need to build the C extension. Start the VS console using "Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt", go to the source directory and run this command:
python setup.py build_ext -i
After you have done this, you can run Picard directly from the sources using:
python tagger.py
Building the Installer
First you need to copy msvcr90.dll and msvcp90.dll from "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT" to the source code directory, so that py2exe can find them. Then you can build the installer using this command:
python setup.py bdist_nsis
Known Issues
It is possible that the resulting picard.exe does not show the proper file icon. This is probably a bug of py2exe on Vista. You can fix the icon with the tool Resource Hacker or any other tool, that can edit the resources in executables.
