windows/build-msi.sh: cross-build the MSI on Linux via wixl + mingw-w64
Discovered building v1.1.0 that the MSI can be produced entirely on
Linux — no Windows VM, no manual WiX install, no GUI babysitting:
apt install wixl unzip gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64 \
mingw-w64-x86-64-dev curl
The new build-msi.sh script:
1. Runs sync.sh to refresh pkg/{lmcp,server,json}.lua from root.
2. Downloads Lua 5.4.2 Win64 binaries from LuaBinaries (Tools +
Library zips — interpreter + headers + import lib).
3. Cross-compiles LuaSocket 3.1.0 via x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
(produces socket-3.0.0.dll + mime-1.0.3.dll for Win64).
4. Stages pkg/lua/{lua.exe, lua54.dll, socket/, mime/, *.lua} per
the WiX manifest layout.
5. Invokes wixl on the lmcp.wxs manifest (with sed for the
Windows backslash path separators → forward slashes).
Output: lmcp-<version>.msi. Version is read from lmcp.wxs
Version="…", so bump that before each release.
Cold build: ~30s. Warm cache: ~5s. The artifact contains all 17
files the WiX manifest expects, ProductVersion matches lmcp.wxs.
README updated to point at build-msi.sh as the recommended path;
the Windows-side candle/light recipe kept as an alternative.
Reproducibility note (deferred): the MSI is not yet bit-reproducible
across builds — file mtimes in the Lua binaries' zip propagate to
the cab inside the MSI. The debian/lmcp/build-deb.sh in marfrit-
packages uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to fix this; same pattern would
apply here. Out of scope for the first cut.

This directory contains the WiX manifest and packaging files for the
|
||||
Windows MSI build of lmcp.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
## Recommended: cross-build on Linux (one command)
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# 1. Pull the Lua + LuaSocket runtime into pkg/lua/ (one-time, see below).
|
||||
# 2. Sync the lmcp .lua sources from the root of the repo:
|
||||
./sync.sh
|
||||
# 3. Bump windows/lmcp.wxs `Version="…"` to match the release tag.
|
||||
# 4. Invoke WiX:
|
||||
./build-msi.sh /path/to/output/dir
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Downloads Lua 5.4 Win64 binaries from LuaBinaries, cross-compiles
|
||||
LuaSocket via `mingw-w64`, stages `pkg/lua/`, and runs `wixl` to
|
||||
produce `lmcp-<version>.msi`. No Windows VM required.
|
||||
|
||||
Prereqs on a Debian/Ubuntu builder:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo apt install wixl unzip gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 \
|
||||
binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64 mingw-w64-x86-64-dev curl
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Version comes from `lmcp.wxs` `Version="…"`. Bump that before
|
||||
building a release.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternative: build on Windows via WiX toolset
|
||||
|
||||
```cmd
|
||||
sync.sh REM see "tracked vs. generated"
|
||||
REM ensure pkg/lua/ has the runtime — see below
|
||||
candle.exe lmcp.wxs
|
||||
light.exe lmcp.wixobj -o lmcp-1.x.y.msi
|
||||
```
