WylieWord Build Procedure
|
|
|
|
This explains how to make a new version of WylieWord.
|
|
|
|
The program source file is called "WylieWord development copy.dot".
|
|
This is what you edit with the VBA editor.
|
|
|
|
When you have finished modifying it:
|
|
|
|
Do a search for, and remove, all debugging MsgBox calls.
|
|
|
|
I use "!!!" in comments to note known bugs that should be dealt with.
|
|
Search for "!!!" and make sure anything left in that state is
|
|
acceptable in the release.
|
|
|
|
Do "Debug > Compile" in the F11 window. Verify there are no
|
|
compilation errors.
|
|
|
|
Re-test everything that has changed since the last release, and
|
|
anything that might be affected by those changes.
|
|
|
|
Increment the version number in AboutWylieWord.
|
|
|
|
Run PrepareDistribution in immediate window.
|
|
This runs automated tests. The third set of tests may take ten minutes or so.
|
|
Verify that the results are OK.
|
|
It also unbinds all the WylieWord keys.
|
|
This is critical to having WylieWord work correctly on non-English keyboards.
|
|
(After making the distribution, you will want to restore the keybindings
|
|
in the development copy by calling WylieWordBindKeys.)
|
|
|
|
Save "WylieWord development copy.dot"
|
|
|
|
Copy it to the build folder.
|
|
Rename it Setup.doc.
|
|
|
|
If the manual has changed, update its revision date.
|
|
|
|
The WylieWord installer is created using the program "SEAU",
|
|
available for $49 on the web. The .INP file is its configuration.
|
|
|
|
In SEAU:
|
|
|
|
Update the Files folder to be the WylieWord build folder (if it isn't already).
|
|
Update the Archive output file location to be in that folder also.
|
|
Save the SEAU configuration (.INP file) if you have changed it.
|
|
Run the SEAU builder.
|
|
Run the resulting self-extracting .exe file.
|
|
|
|
Re-test everything. Do the testing with the template installed in and
|
|
loaded from the Word Startup folder. (Due to Word idiocy, VBA runs
|
|
differently (and usually worse) when loaded from there.) |
