Work done in week 17-21 June

1. Work Done :

• I understood the structure of OSGeo4W Installer
• I also setuped a local virtual machine with Windows envirotment and all the tools needed in order to getting a build of setup.exe.
• I fixed some errors of setup.exe and I sent my changes to server:
  • I included a hack implementation of _fstati64() because at linking time presents some problems with Cygwin/Mingw libraries.​https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/changeset/1207
  • I fixed the linking to res.o object when make program try to build setup.exe it presents some problems, I solved removing the codepage in res_* files to use UTF-8 enconding for multilanguage support ​https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/changeset/1208.
  • I updated the iniparse.yy file, it has some incompatible changes with the new version of Automake 1.2 and YACC & LEX support.​https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/changeset/1209
  • I removed some obsolete macros in configure.in file, too it was moved to newer configure.ac ​https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/changeset/1210
  • I fixed the static library path of libbz2.a and libz.a in Makefile.am file ​https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/changeset/1211

2. Problem Faced :

• Definitely yes, some problems with the installation of Installer but are already solved, many times I needed to read a lot before changing a line of the code of setup installer.

3. Work to be done in the next week :

• Next week I need to prepare the new windows dialog for new version of installer.
• I will update the wiki of the project to build the new setup.

Work done in week 22-28 June

1. Work Done:

• The main job done this week was integrated a new window dialog "license" with its class license which will download a license file from somewhere (before the community organize the license terms) ie: "​http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/release" of every restrictive package.

• I added a new resource entry to window dialog http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/changeset/1216.
• I added a new entry for Makefile.am http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/changeset/1217
• All changes I committed you can see at http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/changeset/1218

2. Problems Faced :

• It was a little difficult to understand the flow of window dialog and some classes of installer, I am still learning all the process into installer.
• There was a bit problem with the first compilation of new installer with the new class, but it was resolved, I couldn't implement the download process I need more time but I will do it next week with some extra work.

3. Work to be done in the next week:

• For two next weeks I will plan something to download a license from a main central repository or individual projects and install into local directory ie: /etc/licenses. I will finish the new license class to automation of every restrictive package like gdal-ecw.
