Github Actions Notes

Some notes to try and develop Github actions to build Horus-GUI automatically.

Windows Build

Dependencies

• mingw32
• cmake
• Python 3.11 (and pip)

Build horusdemodlib

• git clone https://github.com/projecthorus/horusdemodlib.git
• cd horusdemodlib && mkdir build && cd build
• cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles"
• mingw32-make

Should now have libhorus.dll in ~/horusdemodlib/build/src/ which we need later.

Horus-GUI Build

• git clone https://github.com/projecthorus/horus-gui.git
• cd horus-gui
• pip install -r requirements.txt (Presumably we don't need a venv for this)
• pip install pyinstaller
• cp ~/horusdemodlib/build/src/libhorus.dll .
• cp /path/to/mingw/bin/libgcc_s_seh-1.dll .
• cp /path/to/mingw/bin/libwinpthread-1.dll .
• cp /path/to/mingw/bin/libstdc++-6.dll .
• pyinstaller horus-gui_win.spec

Should now have horus-gui.exe in ~/horus-gui/dist/. This needs to be zipped up and added as an artefact.

OSX Build

Dependencies (via homebrew?)

• mingw32
• cmake
• Python 3.11 (and pip)

Build horusdemodlib

• git clone https://github.com/projecthorus/horusdemodlib.git
• cd horusdemodlib && mkdir build && cd build
• cmake ..
• make

Should now have libhorus.dylib in ~/horusdemodlib/build/src/ which we need later.

Horus-GUI Build

• git clone https://github.com/projecthorus/horus-gui.git
• cd horus-gui
• pip install -r requirements.txt (Presumably we don't need a venv for this)
• pip install pyinstaller
• pyinstaller horus-gui_osx.spec

Note that the .spec file for OSX expects libhorus.dylib to exist at ~/horusdemodlib/build/src/

Should now have horus-gui.app in ~/horus-gui/dist/. This needs to be zipped up and added as an artefact.
