== Disclaimer ==
This HowTo is work in progress and terribly incomplete. Currently it is more a collection of notes which can help you to build Picard on Windows, but it is not a real step by step instruction.

== About ==
This HowTo explains the process of building the Picard installer for Windows from source using the MinGW build environment.


== Requirements ==
== Requirements ==
=== Runtime & libraries ===
* [http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.2/ Python 2.7.x] (Ensure you get a 32-bit version)
* [http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download PyQt 4] Picard 0.15 is packaged with 4.7 but Py2.7-x86-gpl-4.8.4 appears to work. Ensure you get a 32-bit/x86 version.
* [http://code.google.com/p/mutagen/ Mutagen] (1.20 works fine)
* [[libdiscid]]
* [http://code.google.com/p/musicip-libofa/ LibOFA]

* [http://ffmpeg.org/ FFmpeg] (Only 0.5.2-w32 currently appears to work; you may need to build it yourself using MinGW/MSYS)
* [http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started MinGW & MSYS] (Can use the GUI installer to install both at once)

=== For packaging/installer ===
* [http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download NSIS]
* [http://www.py2exe.org/ py2exe]

== Install Python, PyQt and py2exe ==

== Install NSIS ==

== Install MinGW and MSYS ==
Grab one of the installers from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/ here]. In the installer ensure you choose the following optional components:
* C++ compiler
* MSYS Basic System
* MinGW Developer Toolkit

Installing to C:\MinGW (MSYS will be in C:\MinGW\msys\1.0) will simplify the rest of the guide.

Add C:\MinGW\bin to your PATH.

== Build libavformat/libavcodec ==
Download the FFmpeg 0.5.2 [http://ffmpeg.org/download.html source code] and extract it to a directory. You are trying to build individual FFmpeg components in shared mode. Picard needs
* libavformat
* libavcodec
* libavutil

From inside the MSYS shell change to that directory and run:

./configure --prefix=C:/MinGW \
--extra-cflags="-mno-cygwin -mms-bitfields" \
--extra-ldflags="-Wl,--add-stdcall-alias" \

Build the libraries with

make

You may see errors from make regarding

* Python 2.7.x
Make is looking for the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7ykb2k5f%28v=vs.80%29.aspx Microsoft Library Manager] from Visual Studio. You can ignore these; the DLLs should be successfully built and appear to be sufficient. However you will have to change the build.cfg before building Picard (see below).

== Download the Picard source code ==
== Running Picard From Sources ==
See [[Picard_Download|Picard Download]] for instructions on how to obtain the source code of Picard.


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:
== Install libdiscid and libofa ==


python setup.py build_ext -i
== Install Mutagen ==
From a '''cmd''' shell


After you have done this, you can run Picard directly from the sources using:
cd mutagen-1.20
python setup.py install


python tagger.py
== Build the Picard installer ==
From a '''cmd''' shell, configure Picard:


In order to have a fully functional copy of Picard, you need to get add [http://musicbrainz.org/doc/libdiscid discid.dll] and [http://acoustid.org/chromaprint fpcalc.exe] to the source directory.
python setup.py config --compiler mingw32 --library-dirs C:\MinGW\lib --include-dirs C:\MinGW\include


== Building the Installer ==
Fix the build.cfg:
[directshow]
libs =
cflags =
[libofa]
libs =
cflags =
[avcodec]
libs = avcodec.dll avformat.dll avutil.dll
cflags =
[build]
have-make = True
with-directshow = False
with-avcodec = True
with-libofa = False


Build Picard and create the installer:
If you have done all steps necessary to run Picard from sources and it works, you can build the installer using this command:


python setup.py build --compiler mingw32
python setup.py bdist_nsis
python setup.py build --compiler mingw32 bdist_nsis

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

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

In order to have a fully functional copy of Picard, you need to get add discid.dll and fpcalc.exe to the source directory.

Building the Installer

If you have done all steps necessary to run Picard from sources and it works, 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.
