Asciidoc

Asciidoc is a lightweight markup language. I put some effort to let it work on Windows with a NSIS installer. Here are some notes to create a windows packages yourself. I ported and tested on Windows XP and Seven, so it should work on any kind of system above Windows XP. You can download the source code and binary from Google Code

Needed software

  • Windows XP/Vista/Seven
  • Python 2.6
  • py2exe for Python 2.6
  • Ultimate Packer for eXecutables (UPX)
  • Nullsoft Scriptable Installer System (NSIS)

Recommended applications

  • gVim
  • Console2

Installation

  1. Install Python 2.6
  2. Install py2exe for Python 2.6
  3. Extract upx.exe into a new created directory C:\Program Files\UPX, or change the path in the build.bat file.
  4. Install NSIS

Building

  1. Invoke the build.bat from inside the directory
  2. Invoke with right-click the asciidoc.nsi to compile the NSIS script
