Building the Nmap Installer for Windows ======================================= I.

ZENMAP BUILD DEPENDENCIES Here are the build dependencies for Zenmap and where to get them. The latest nown tested versions are listed here, but I usually start by grabbing the latest version available on the sites rather than these nown-good versions.

GTK+ All-in-one bundle o http://www.gt .org/download-windows.html o Tested: gt +-bundle_2.22.1-20101227_win32.zip Python o http://www.python.org/download o Tested: python-2.7.1.msi GTK+, PyGTK, PyGObject, PyCairo o http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/pygt o Tested: pygt -all-in-one-2.22.6.win32-py2.7.msi Py2exe (0.6.9) - http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/ o Tested: py2exe-0.6.9.win32-py2.7.exe The GTK c:\GTK. install and GTK all-in-one bundle is a zip file. Unzip it into the directory The other components have installers-using the default directories is important, especially for Python (C:\Python27) (C:\GTK). See Section IV if you must change the directories.

You may need to set your Windows $PATH so that it can find the GTK DLLs while py2exe is doing its thing. On Windows 7 x64, I did this as follows: o Open control panel, search for "environment variables", clic on "Edit the system environment variables", which opens the "System Properties" dialogue. Select the "Advanced" tab then clic the "Environment Variables" button. Add ";C:\GTK\bin" to the end of the user PATH variable. II. OTHER REQUIREMENTS You'll need Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 for compilation. Directions for obtaining that are at: http://nmap.org/install/inst-windows.html#inst-win-source You'll also need Cygwin installed in order to build the Nmap installer (not required for normal compiling). You'll find it at http://www.cygwin.com And last, you'll need the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System installed. You can download if from http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download (Version 2.46 tested). Install in "C:\Program Files\NSIS" even if it offers "C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS". III. BUILDING With all of the requirements and dependencies installed, open up a Cygwin shell and go to the mswin32 directory in the Nmap directory and type "ma e". This may ta e several minutes, and will create an executable installer and a zip archive (nmap-<version>-setup.exe and nmap-<version>-win32.zip).

IV. INSTALLATION PATHS / PROBLEMS If you have Python installed to a directory other than the default mentioned above, then you need to edit the copy_and_compile.bat file under zenmap/install_scripts/windows and change the "set PythonEXE" line with your installed directory. If you have GTK installed to a different directory, follow the same directions as for Python, but edit the "set GTKDir" line.
