Building the source

In order to build Bauble from the source code you will first need to download the code. For more information about download the Bauble source go to Downloading the source.

Building on Windows

1. Install Python. Python has mostly been devloped and tested using Python 2.6. It may work with other 2.x versions of Python but will definitely not work with Python 3.0 and greater. You can download Python 2.6.2 from python.org.

2. Install GTK+. The easiest way to install GTK+ is to download the latest runtime packages from gtk-win.sourceforge.net.

   Note

   The gtk-win package currently doesn’t support SVG which can

   cause a problem with Bauble.

3. Install the Python GTK+ packages. These installers have to be downloaded and run individually.

   • PyCairo
   • PyGObject
   • PyGTK

4. Compile Bauble. From the command line go to the directory where the bauble source code is and type the following:

   python setup.py py2exe

5. Run Bauble. To run the compiled executable run:

   /dist/bauble.exe

6. To optionally build an NSIS installer package you must install NSIS from nsis.sourceforge.net. After installing NSIS right click on ./scripts/build.nsi in Explorer and select Compile NSIS Script.
