* Download all the other stuff to DIR and extract them into there.
("extract here", not "extract to packagename/")
* NOTE: zlib125dll.zip needs to be extracted into zlib125dll
- * NOTE: You need to extract sqlite3.h & sqlite3ext.h from sqlite3 source
- and sqlite3.dll & sqlite3.def from sqlite3 precompiled binaries
- into "sqlite3" directory, and generate sqlite3.lib using command
- "LIB /DEF:sqlite3.def /OUT:sqlite3.lib"
+ * NOTE: You need to extract sqlite3.h & sqlite3ext.h from the SQLite 3
+ source and sqlite3.dll & sqlite3.def from the SQLite 3 precompiled
+ binaries into "sqlite3" directory, and generate sqlite3.lib using
+ command "LIB /DEF:sqlite3.def /OUT:sqlite3.lib"
* All those packages contain a nice base directory in them, which
should end up being the direct subdirectories of DIR.
* You will end up with a directory structure like this (+=dir, -=file):
echo Failed.
exit /b 1
+### Windows Installer using WIX Toolset
+
+Requirements:
+* Visual Studio 2017
+* Wix Toolset
+
+In Visual Studio 2017 Installer select "Optional Features" -> "Wix Toolset"
+
+Build the binaries like described above, but make sure you unselect "RUN_IN_PLACE".
+
+Open the generated Project file with VS. Right click "PACKAGE" and choose "Generate".
+It may take some minutes to generate the installer.

Version scheme
--------------
We use `major.minor.patch` since 5.0.0-dev. Prior to that we used `0.major.minor`.
minor/trivial features considered necessary.
Since 5.0.0-dev and 0.4.17-dev, the dev notation refers to the next release,
-ie: 5.0.0-dev is the development version leading to 5.0.0.
+i.e.: 5.0.0-dev is the development version leading to 5.0.0.
Prior to that we used `previous_version-dev`.
