Build the zip file

How to set up a build environment on a Windows machine:

• Install Python 2 : Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

• Install pywin32

• Install PIL

• (If Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required, get it with Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools)

• pip install -e timtools

We cannot use pipenv because it doesn’t support -e switch for install.

When your build environment is set up, simply run the file mkdist.bat in the project’s root directory.

This creates a file timtools.zip in the download folder of the documentation tree (docsdl).

You can test the exe files as follows:

> cd dist\timtools
> openmail --help
> sendmail --help
> sync --help
...

You can then publish the documentation tree from an atelier environment as follows:

$ go tt
$ inv bd pd
