Re: pyexiv2 0.2 on windows

 

Hi all,

Following my work on cross compiling pyexiv2 for windows on linux, I just merged in the master branch an NSIS script that generates a windows installer. This will allow distributing pyexiv2 in a user-friendly manner.

For those interested, the cross compilation and build of the installer processes are fully documented in the developers documentation (not published yet, see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~osomon/pyexiv2/pyexiv2-0.2/annotate/head%3A/doc/developers.rst).

If everything goes as expected, I hope to release 0.2 this week.
Stay tuned!

Olivier

Hi all,

I spent the past few days working on an automated way of cross-compiling pyexiv2 0.2 for windows on my linux box, and I'm pleased to announce that after an epic struggle with boost-python, I've got something working and apparently fully functional.

Now is the time for people developing applications and scripts on windows to test and let me know what works and what doesn't!

You will find the compiled libexiv2python.pyd along with the pyexiv2 module at http://tilloy.net/pyexiv2-win32-20100311.zip, just unzip the archive in the site-packages directory of your Python 2.6 setup (e.g. C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\).

For those interested in the cross-compilation process itself, the script I used is at http://tilloy.net/cross_compile_pyexiv2.sh

Cheers,

Olivier
