Build Windows package on Linux

This README as tested on Guix with Wine 10.

Setup

Fist, you need to install Wine:

# Debian
apt install winehq-stable wine64 winetricks

# Guix
guix install wine64 winetricks

Init a new custom wine prefix:

export WINE_PREFIX=$PWD/wine
wine winecfg

# or use env-wine.sh
./env-wine.sh wine winecfg

In winecfg, set the windows version to Windows 10 and click ok.

We need to install 7zip and Python into the wine prefix. You can install 7zip with the command:

./env-wine.sh winetricks apps 7zip

To install Python, you need to download Python installer for windows on version 3.10.2. Next use this command to run the installer:

./env-wine.sh wine <path-to-python-installer-exe>

And follow the installation procedure without forget to activate setup Python PATH. Now this command will work and return 'Python 3.10.2'.

$ ./env-wine.sh wine python --version
Python 3.10.2

Now, you can run the scripts to build the windows package:

$ ./env-wine.sh wine windows.bat
