Mulberry on Win7

gistfile1.txt

install RailsInstaller from http://railsinstaller.org/
clone mulberry from github.  run install.sh
run bundle install

gem install evergreen
(may not be necessary. I did it to try to get the tests working, but rake kept complaining about not finding it)

install chromedriver.exe, add to path

create a .bat in /cli/bin that contains something like:
@"ruby.exe" "C:/Dev/mulberry/cli/bin/mulberry" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
(works on win7.. you’ll need more voodoo to work on NT. check the bat files in C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.2\bin)

modify guid.rb per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6579787/guid-causes-cant-find-random-device
I changed /[^r]win/i  to /i386-mingw/i  because that’s what RUBY_PLATFORM showed for me

/**** BEGIN ******/
/* installing curl.exe and libarchive probably isn’t necessary, because I install dojo manually below */
install curl.exe for windows, add to path
http://www.paehl.com/open_source/?download=curl_723_1.zip

install libarchive (bsdtar), add to path, copy the bsdtar.exe and rename to tar.exe
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/libarchive/2.4.12-1/libarchive-2.4.12-1-setup.exe/download

go ahead and create a scaffolded app

Now we need to get DOJO installed. You should probably skip to the “SHORT WAY” instructions.

INSTALL DOJO LONG WAY:
mulberry\build\js.rb edit line 113 to echo the URL for dojo:
@build.log("Downloading and extracting Dojo from #{dojo}. JavaScript goodness is a few minutes away.", 'info')

run:  mulberry serve

it will try to download dojo and fail, but it will create a (mostly empty) directory at mulberry\app\dojo-release-x.y.z-src

however, in the output you can see the file it was trying to download (for me it was http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.6.0/dojo-release-1.6.0-src.tar.gz)

download http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.6.0/dojo-release-1.6.0-src.tar.gz unzip it and install the result in mulberry\app\dojo-rele....etcetcetc

INSTALL DOJO SHORT WAY:
download http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.6.0/dojo-release-1.6.0-src.tar.gz unzip it and install the result in mulberry\app\dojo-release-1.6.0-src\

This will work until Mulberry updates their dojo dependency. In that case, use the long instructions to get the correct URL and local path.

END DOJO INSTALL


Now we need to hack the build script.  You can probably skip down and use the “GITHUB WAY”..

HACK BUILD SCRIPT MANUAL WAY:
edit mulberry\cli\env.rb line 5 to be:
        when /mswin|windows|mingw/i

edit mulberry\builder\js.rb lines 202-213 to:
if Mulberry::Env.host_os == :windows
          build_script = 'build.bat'
          location     = Pathname.new(@location).relative_path_from(Pathname.new(Dir.pwd)).to_s
          prefix = ''
        else
          build_script = 'build.sh'
          location     = @location
          prefix = './'
        end

        system %{#{prefix}#{build_script} profileFile=#{PROFILE_FILE} releaseDir=#{location} #{'> /dev/null' if !@build.settings[:verbose]}}

GITHUB WAY:
grab https://github.com/strathmeyer/mulberry/tree/mingw 


***************************************************************************************
THIS WILL GET mulberry serve AND scaffold WORKING. FOR mulberry test AND deploy READ ON
***************************************************************************************


install the android sdk
direct link: http://dl.google.com/android/installer_r16-windows.exe
general link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

it will require you to install the JDK if you don’t have one yet:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Probably not necessary, but why not make sure ‘adb’ is on your path: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/

comment out line 220 of mulberry\builder\project.rb
#adb = %x{which adb}.chomp
and replace it with a direct link to adb.exe (path on my system shown for reference. your path may be different):
        adb = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe'

***************************************************************************************
THIS SHOULD GET mulberry test AND mulberry deploy TO WORK
