#Waf-launcher
|
|
This is a simple wrapper for the
|
|
[waf build system](https://waf.io/)
|
|
|
|
Since many windows users does not have python installed by default,
|
|
the exe file from this project can be included along with the copy of
|
|
waf to wrap waf to install python on demand.
|
|
|
|
The requirements is only .Net 2.0 whics is either Windows Server 2003 R2
|
|
and up, or Windows Vista and up. There is a good chance it is installed
|
|
in many OEM installs of Windows XP as well
|
|
|
|
##How to compile
|
|
use either waf or monodevelop (wscript and project files is in the repository)
|
|
|
|
##How to use
|
|
|
|
Assume we have a repository, myrepo, where wscript and waf already exists.
|
|
|
|
myrepo/waf
|
|
myrepo/wscript
|
|
|
|
now copy waf-launcher/bin/Release/waf.exe to the repository
|
|
|
|
myrepo/waf.exe
|
|
|
|
Linux users can continue to use `./waf`, just like
|
|
Windows users can continue to use `python waf`
|
|
|
|
For Windows users there is now a second way to invoke waf by writing
|
|
either `waf.exe` or simply just `waf`.
|
|
|
|
When the Windows users does that the following happens:
|
|
|
|
1. It tries "python waf"
|
|
2. If 1 failed it tries "C:\python27\python.exe waf"
|
|
3. If 2 failed it ask for permission to install python
|
|
4. If pemission is given it tries to install python silently
|
|
5. step 1 and 2 it done again
|
|
6. If this still fails we exit with an error
|
|
|
|
Any arguments to `waf.exe` is passed on to `waf`
