Shipping and using DejaVu font on Ms-Windows Improved

[Lucarda]

This PR includes the fonts and TWAPI on "pdprototype.tgz" included on the [MSW folder] https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/tree/master/msw

Fonts are placed on the pd/bin
TWAPI and resources on pd/lib

The fonts are loaded on pd-gui.tcl and protected with a catch clause if TWAPI is not present.

This is an improved #269

looks good enough (I could only test this on linux, so I cannot say anything about the actual functionality :-))

@umlaeute
Thanks for reviewing!

I will do a w32 build to re-test.

[umlaeute]

a rebuild is probably unnecessary, as you are not touching any files that need to be compiled (aka "built").

of course, testing the generated "application bundle" (that is, the zip-file and the installer as would be shipped by miller) would be a good thing.

Ok, I build this branch just to test. I'm using Christof's #258 makefiles.

He unpacks "pdprototype.tgz" in a way similar to Miller I think:

tar -xzf $(pd_src)/msw/pdprototype.tgz -C $(pd_src)/msw
cp -r $(pd_src)/msw/pd/bin/* $(bindir)/
cp -r $(pd_src)/msw/pd/lib/* $(libdir)

The resulting build includes properly the fonts and twapi. So the “compiled Pd dir” is working.

I cant test the “Installer” but I guess it will just work.

I can't find the package “mingw32-nsis” for windows needed in https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/msw/build-nsi.sh. I'm using MinGW Msys1.

I think the installer will work as it copies from the already "compiled Pd dir".

If someone want to test functionality here's a Zip version:

http://lucarda.com.ar/x/dejavu/pd-dejavu-test-w32.zip

It must be tested on a windows machine with no dejavu font installed.

Note: sign out of windows if you uninstalled the font.

This has been built with MinGW Msys1.0. These 2 extra files on the pd/bin folder are not necessary on Miller's build (also are not included on "pdprototype.tgz").:

• pthreadGC-3.dll
• libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

I used Christof's makefiles #258 with the “install” option.

I'm closing this PR because something better is comming here:
