This directory is for building the Windows installer for Rakudo Star. You will need - Strawberry Perl (eg. the one that comes with Padre from http://padre.perlide.org/download.html ) padre-0.84-on-strawberry-5.12.3.0-v3.exe - Inno Setup from http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php 5.4.2(a) Download The source distribution of Rakudo Star from https://github.com/rakudo/star/downloads ptar -xzf rakudo-star-2011.04.tar.gz cd rakudo-star-2011.04 As currently the executable is not relocatable we need to decide which directory to install. Currently it is c:\rakudo Follow the insturctions in the README of Rakudo Star: > perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot --prefix c:\rakudo > gmake > gmake install Manually copy c:\strawberry\c\bin\libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll to c:\rakudo\bin Create a directory called c:\output where the resulting executable will be placed. Then start the Inno Setup Compiler and open the rakudo.iss file. Change the "AppVersion" field. Click on "Build/Compile" This should generate c:\output\rakudo-star.exe
