View source for KDevelop/Installer Creation on Windows

= Introduction =
Installers on Windows are created with the help of Craft. Craft is a user-space package manager for Windows, which can compile all dependencies of KDevelop (including Qt5, KF5, Clang/LLVM, etc. pp.) for us.

= Setup =
To create an installer using Craft, you  need to:

# Install and bootstrap Craft: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows
Note: You need at least Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or any newer GCC on Windows to compile KDevelop!
# Check out the kdevelop-release branch

= Create the installer =

Compile and install all dependencies of KDevelop & KDevelop itself:
 craft kdevelop

Create an installer for kdevelop, including kdev-php, kdev-python and kate:
 craft --options=features.fullkdevelop=1 --package kdevelop

Note: You'll end up with a KDevelop installer .exe in %KDEROOT%\tmp

= Create an updated installer with existing Craft checkout =

To update KF5 + KDevelop, you can invoke the following commands
