Description

Basic steps to produce a binary executable:
- Install wine
- Install python win32 under wine. Run windows install from http://www.python.org/getit/
- Install PIL under wine. Run windows install from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
- Install ply under wine. Download package from http://www.dabeaz.com/ply/, extract, change to that directory, run: wine "C:\\Python27\\python.exe" setup.py install
- Install cxfreeze under windw. Run windows installer from http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/
- Checkout nml, switch to directory, run: wine "C:\\Python27\\python.exe" "C:\\Python27\\Scripts\\cxfreeze" nmlc
The executable nmlc.exe and a few other files will appear in the dist/ directory. This can be changed by adding "--target-dir <directory>" to the last command.

build scripts are done, the included python.dll does double the archive size. :-)

currently, we build it with pythonw.exe, if that is wrong, please tell and we use python.exe with the X-Server hack above...

if all fine, please close this ;-)

Edit: maybe we should make different packages

nmlc with different requirements:

- nmlc only (some kBs)
- nmlc with pil and ply (1.5 MB)
- nmlc with pil, ply and python (2.5 MB)
