This project creates a 64-bit Windows installer of FRED for Cygwin using NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System).
Example compiled executables (made using customized Cygwin versions of FRED hosted at https://github.com/midas-isg/FRED) can be downloaded from here:
https://github.com/midas-isg/FRED_CYGWIN_INSTALLER/releases
##Instructions for building:
-
In PublicHealthDynamicsLab/cygwin_install_files directory, place a copy of setup-x86_64.exe (obtained from https://cygwin.com/)
-
In FRED place all of the files from FRED-v2.12.0-build-for-cygwin (or a derived branch which contains bin/FRED.bat) obtained from https://github.com/midas-isg/FRED/tree/FRED-v2.12.0-build-for-cygwin. Make sure that the folder's name remains FRED so that the bin, doc, etc, as well as the other directories and files are located directly within PublicHealthDynamicsLab/FRED.
-
Compile fred_cywin64.nsi using the NSIS compiler (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download)
-
The produced installer will be a file labeled fred_cygwin64.exe which should be able to be distributed for installation on modern Windows 64-bit machines (tested on Windows 7 and 10)
