PDF Arranger on Windows

Prerequisites

Install MSYS2. Once installed start MSYS2 MSYS shell. Update all packages:

pacman -Syu

You might need to run it again (it tells you to):

pacman -Su

Install the required dependencies:

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3 mingw-w64-x86_64-python-gobject \
 mingw-w64-x86_64-python-cairo mingw-w64-x86_64-poppler mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc \
 mingw-w64-x86_64-python-lxml mingw-w64-x86_64-qpdf mingw-w64-x86_64-pybind11 \
 mingw-w64-x86_64-gettext mingw-w64-x86_64-gnutls mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pillow \
 mingw-w64-x86_64-python-dateutil mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pip mingw-w64-x86_64-libhandy \
 mingw-w64-x86_64-python-cx_Freeze git python-pip

export PATH=$PATH:/mingw64/bin
SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib \
 /mingw64/bin/python3.exe -m pip install --user keyboard darkdetect pikepdf img2pdf

Building PDF Arranger

Get the PDF Arranger sources:

git clone https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger.git

Then

cd pdfarranger
/mingw64/bin/python3.exe ./setup.py build
/mingw64/bin/python3.exe setup_win32.py bdist_msi
/mingw64/bin/python3.exe setup_win32.py bdist_zip

Debug / hacking

After running setup.py build it's possible to run PDF Arranger without creating the installer:

cd pdfarranger
/mingw64/bin/python3.exe ./setup.py build
/mingw64/bin/python3.exe -m pdfarranger

Wine

MSYS2 no longer work in Wine (see msys2/MSYS2-packages#682). To create a pdfarranger installer in Wine you must first install the required mingw-w64 packages on a real Windows box. Then copy the MSYS2 /mingw64 to Linux and run installation process with wine /path/to/mingw64/bin/python3 instead of /mingw64/bin/python3.

To run the PDF Arranger in Wine you may have to:

unset $(env |grep ^XDG_ | cut -d= -f1)

Docker / Podman

#! /bin/sh -ex

mydocker() {
  # You may switch to docker and adapt image name & tag if needed
  podman run -v local:/root/.wine/drive_c/users/root/.local \
    -v $PWD:/pdfarranger -w /pdfarranger -it docker.io/jeromerobert/wine-mingw64:1.8.1 "$@"
}

pythonwin32() {
  mydocker wine cmd /c z:/mingw64/bin/python "$@"
}

mydocker ./setup.py build
pythonwin32 setup_win32.py bdist_msi
pythonwin32 setup_win32.py bdist_zip
