Creating a WarpIN archive

Once you have created and successfully tested your NLS package, you should create a WarpIN package to make it available to other users. The XWorkplace build environment can do some of this for you but not everything.

To create a WarpIN archive:

Open the MAKEWPIxxx.CMD file in your NLS directory tree and change the country codes as per the included instructions. This file is later called to create the archive.
Open the NLSxxx.WIS file. This is the WarpIN script that tells WarpIN what to do with the included files. Translate and adapt it as per the included instructions. Every location that has to be changed is preceded by an explanatory comment.
Open a command line window in the root directory of your XWorkplace tree and issue the following command:
nmake wpi_nls
This should copy a number of files and then invoke WarpIN. You will see some messages about added files and compression rates.
Now test the archive by installing it. If WarpIN finishes the installation without errors switch to your language and see if everything works correctly.

If everything works correctly, don't forget to tell the XWorkplace maintainers about it so your changes can be committed to CVS!
