Build for Windows

Run in PowerShell 7 on Windows:

pwsh -NoProfile -File app\tool\build_windows_release.ps1 -Lepic <path or URL of LEPIC> -LepicFlutter <path or URL of lepic-flutter>

-Lepic and -LepicFlutter are mandatory. Each names a repository that contains the commit pinned in tools\lepic.rev and tools\lepic-flutter.rev; see Build from source.

Needs

• Flutter, at the version in scripts/linux/flutter.version (3.47.5). The script looks in %USERPROFILE%\flutter\bin; pass -Flutter for another folder.
• rustup and cargo. LEPIC's rust-toolchain.toml picks the Rust version.
• Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools with the C++ workload.
• CMake and Git on PATH.
• Inno Setup 6. The script expects ISCC.exe in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Inno Setup 6; pass -Iscc for another path.

The script stops at once when flutter, rustup, cargo, cmake or git is missing.

What it does

1. Clones LEPIC and lepic-flutter into app\third_party\ at the pinned commits.
2. Builds lepic_ffi.dll with a static C runtime, so the library needs no runtime DLLs of its own.
3. Runs flutter build windows --release, with the version from app\pubspec.yaml, and checks the exe's version information.
4. Copies the Visual C++ runtime DLLs next to epic_wallet.exe.
5. Signs the exe, builds the installer with Inno Setup, and signs the installer.

Options

Option	Effect
-OutDir	Output folder. Default app\build\installer.
-NoTor	Build without Tor; see Build variants.
-TorBundle	Folder from tools/fetch-tor.sh win, bundled as bin\tor-bundle. Without it, Tor shows as not included.
-NodeBin	Path to epic.exe, bundled as the built-in node.
-LepicCache	An earlier app\third_party\lepic to copy first, so unchanged Rust crates are not rebuilt.
-Dist msstore	Build the Microsoft Store package instead; see Build variants.

Signing

The script signs with a code-signing certificate from the Windows certificate store, named by its SHA-1 thumbprint: -SignThumbprint or the WFE_SIGN_THUMBPRINT variable. The Windows SDK's signtool.exe signs with SHA-256 and a timestamp. Without a thumbprint the build goes on unsigned and says so; Windows SmartScreen then warns on a first install.

Output

In the output folder:

• epic-cash-desktop-<version>-windows-x64-setup.exe
• epic-cash-desktop-<version>-windows-x64-setup.exe.sha256

With -NoTor the name has -notor after the version. The installer and the exe carry the file version YY.MM.patch.0; see Releases.

The app keeps its data in %USERPROFILE%\.epic_cash_desktop. Uninstalling leaves that folder.

Portable zip

app\tool\build_windows.ps1 builds a portable folder with epic_wallet.exe, zipped as build\epic_wallet-windows-x64-<version>.zip, without an installer.
