Build instructions

Cygwin installation and setup

To build a package on Windows you need cygwin.

  1. Download Cygwin setup.exe from https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe in this directory.
  2. Run make_cygwin.bat build to install the environment we need to build duplicity under build\cygwin_build.
  3. Run make_cygwin.bat dist to build a smaller instance needed for deployment under build\cygwin.

Install Node.js and npm

  1. Install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/
  2. Make sure that npm is also installed.
  3. Install nw-builder : npm -g install nw-builder
  • Note that on some systems node executable is installed as nodejs, and nw-builder fails to start. You will need to change the first line of /usr/local/bin/nwbuild to look for nodejs.

Build duplicity

  1. You will need python and gnupg. Make sure you have librsync-dev installed. On Windows, these are provided by cygwin installed previously.
  2. Run make_duplicity.sh; this will build duplicity and collect its dependencies under build/duplicity. Note that on Windows you need to run it with build\cygwin_build\bin\bash.exe.
  • If it fails to find librsync, specify its location by setting variable LIBRSYNC_DIR before running the script.

Build the package

  1. Run make_package.sh (again, with build\cygwin_build\bin\bash.exe on Windows) to build the nwjs application and collect everything under dist/baas (or dist/baas.app on OSX)

  2. Run python bundle.py to make a tar.gz (for Linux) or zip archive (for Windows and OSX). On Windows it must be run as build\cygwin_build\bin\bash.exe -c "/usr/bin/python bundle.py "
