== C++ Shell Extension ==
=== Installing build tools ===
Get the gratis "Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1"
from microsoft.com.
You can install from web or download an ISO image, burn a DVD and install from
that. Make sure you get the correct download for the Windows version you want to
use for building: the x86 (32 bit) download won't install on 64 bit platforms.
The SDK contains the C++ compiler, linker, nmake, and header files, which is all
we need to build the x86 (32 bit) and 64 bit variants of the shell extension.
The compiler and linker can build both the 32 bit and the 64 bit targets, no matter
if you install the 32 bit (x86) or the 64 bit version of the SDK. In other words:
it can cross compile.
The SDK is compatible with Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 (including express versions).
But Visual C++ is *not* needed to build the shell extension!
Leave all install options at their defaults.
(see also C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\ReleaseNotes.Htm
section "4.4.2 Setting Build Environment Switches" after install)
=== Building the x86 (32 bit) target ===
Open a command shell and cd into win32/shellext of the TortoiseHg sources.
Copy/paste the following line (including the double quotes) into that shell
cmd.exe /E:ON /V:ON /K "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\SetEnv.cmd" /xp /x86 /Release
and execute it (see ReleaseNotes.Htm).
This should show the following in your shell
'''
Setting SDK environment relative to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0.
Targeting Windows XP x86 RELEASE
'''
Then execute
nmake /f Makefile.nmake clean
followed by
nmake /f Makefile.nmake
Which should go like this:
'''

This should produce the file THgShell.dll, which contains the 64 bit variant of the
shell extension.
=== Testing ===
To install the new THgShell.dll for testing, rename the THgShellx86.dll in
"C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg" to something else (e.g. THgShell-01.dll), then copy the newly built
THgShell.dll to "C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\THgShellx86.dll" and restart explorer.exe
(logout/login will do as well).
For x64 systems, the dll is instead located in
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\TortoiseHg\ThgShellx64.dll".
See
http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-restart-explorer-exe-process-properly-in-windows-xp-and-vista/
for properly restarting explorer (in case you don't want to do a logout/login).
Of course, simply killing explorer.exe with the task manager and restarting it will work too
(you might loose some settings changes you might have done in explorer though).
The shell extension emits trace output (TDEBUG_TRACE macro calls in the sources). This output
can be captured by using for example the tool **DebugView** from Microsoft sysinternals (see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx).
The debug output must be enabled in the registry. Double click the file
"DebugShellExt.reg" and restart explorer.
Example output (copied via clipboard):
{{{
[3504] [THG] findHgRoot(W:\xxx2\aa): hgroot = 'W:\xxx2' (found repo)
[3504] [THG] Dirstatecache::get: lstat(W:\xxx2\.hg\dirstate) ok
[3504] [THG] DirectoryStatus::read(W:\xxx2): done. 2 entries read
[3504] [THG] HgQueryDirstate: relbase = ''
[3504] [THG] HgQueryDirstate: basedir_status = M
}}}
Another very helpful tool is sysinternals **Autoruns**
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx ).
This can be used to explore the registration of the extension. Use the tab "Explorer"
to see the shell extensions registered.
Recommended setting is "Hide Microsoft Entries" in menu "Options"
=== TortoiseOverlays shim ===
The TortoiseHg shell extension uses the common TortoiseOverlays package shared with
other Tortoise projects (TortoiseSVN, TortoiseBZR, etc.).
The sources for the TortoiseOverlays project can be found at
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/svn/tortoisesvn/TortoiseOverlays/
(use user: "guest", no password).
=== Issues ===
* #324 - Question mark overlays are missing on Windows 7
