OpenModelicaSetup

OpenModelica Windows installer based on NSIS.

Dependencies

  • Copy AccessControl.dll (checked into this repo) into your NSIS Unicode plugin directory, e.g. into C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Plugins\x86-unicode.
• git
• OMDev
• (optional) SignTool, part of Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit.

Build Windows installer

Environment variables

You'll need to export all tools to PATH environment variable in your MSYS2 UCRT64 shell %OMDEV%\tools\msys\ucrt64.exe:

export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files/Git/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/NSIS/Bin

Also make sure to set environment variables

• OMDEV, e.g. c:\\OMDev
• OPENMODELICAHOME, e.g. d:\\path\\to\\OpenModelica\\build_cmake\\install_cmake
• OPENMODELICALIBRARY, e.g. d:\\path\\to\\OpenModelica\\build_cmake\\install_cmake\\lib\\omlibrary

with Windows style paths using \.

Build:

• OpenModelica
• OpenModelica libraries
• OMPython
• OMSimulator
• OMSens

Run NSIS

Start %OMDEV%\tools\msys\ucrt64.exe or %OMDEV%\tools\msys\mingw64.exe and run:

export PLATFORM="64"        # 64 or 32 bit
export OPENMODELICA_SOURCE_DIR="d:\\path\\to\\OpenModelica"
export REVISION_SHORT=`cd $OPENMODELICA_SOURCE_DIR; git describe --match "v*.*" --always --abbrev=0`
export PRODUCT_VERSION="${REVISION_SHORT:1}"
# make a valid VIProductVersion by stripping everything after "-"
BEGIN=${PRODUCT_VERSION/-*/}
PRODUCT_VERSION=${PRODUCT_VERSION::${#BEGIN}}
PRODUCT_VERSION=${PRODUCT_VERSION}.0

# derive MSYSRUNTIME from MSYSTEM (set by the MSYS2 shell you're running in)
MSYSRUNTIME="mingw"
if [ "${MSYSTEM}" = "UCRT64" ]; then
  MSYSRUNTIME="ucrt"
fi

# generate the list of files for the installer from your CMake install directory
python GenerateFilesList.py --MSYSRUNTIME="${MSYSRUNTIME}" --PLATFORMVERSION="${PLATFORM}" \
       --OPENMODELICAHOME="${OPENMODELICAHOME}" --OPENMODELICASOURCEDIR="${OPENMODELICA_SOURCE_DIR}"

makensis //DMSYSRUNTIME="${MSYSRUNTIME}" \
         //DPLATFORMVERSION="${PLATFORM}" \
         //DOMVERSION="${REVISION_SHORT}" \
         //DPRODUCTVERSION="${PRODUCT_VERSION}" \
         OpenModelicaSetup.nsi

Note

PRODUCT_VERSION needs to be in X.X.X.X format.

Warning

OpenModelicaSetup.nsi compresses with SetCompressor /FINAL LZMA, NSIS's slowest but best-ratio compressor. It single-threads through the entire MSYS2 toolchain plus your OpenModelica install (tens of thousands of files, several GB), so a full makensis run can easily take over an hour.

Optional: Sign the installer

To sign the installer you'll need a code-signing certificate (SPC). See the doc for more information.

export SIGNTOOL=`find /c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Windows\ Kits/10/ -wholename "*${XPREFIX}/signtool.exe" | tail -1`
"${SIGNTOOL}" sign /n "Me" /f MySPC.pfx /tr "http://timestamp.globalsign.com/tsa/r6advanced1" /a /td SHA256 /v OpenModelica.exe
