- GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
- Version 3, 29 June 2007
-
- Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-
- This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
-the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
-License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
-
- 0. Additional Definitions.
-
- As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
-General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
-General Public License.
-
- "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
-other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
-
- An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
-by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
-Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
-of using an interface provided by the Library.
-
- A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
-Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
-with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
-Version".
-
- The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
-Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
-for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
-based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
-
- The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
-object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
-and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
-Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
-
- 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
-
- You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
-without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
-
- 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
-
- If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
-facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
-that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
-facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
-version:
-
- a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
- ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
- function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
- whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
-
- b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
- this License applicable to that copy.
-
- 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
-
- The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
-a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
-code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
-material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
-layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
-(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
-
- a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
- Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
- covered by this License.
-
- b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
- document.
-
- 4. Combined Works.
-
- You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
-taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
-portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
-engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
-the following:
-
- a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
- the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
- covered by this License.
-
- b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
- document.
-
- c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
- execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
- these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
- copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
-
- d) Do one of the following:
-
- 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
- License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
- suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
- recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
- the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
- manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
- Corresponding Source.
-
- 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
- Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
- a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
- system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
- of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
- Version.
-
- e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
- be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
- GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
- necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
- Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
- Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
- you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
- the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
- Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
- Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
- for conveying Corresponding Source.)
-
- 5. Combined Libraries.
-
- You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
-Library side by side in a single library together with other library
-facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
-License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
-choice, if you do both of the following:
-
- a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
- on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
- conveyed under the terms of this License.
-
- b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
- is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
- accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
-
- 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
-
- The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
-versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
-differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
-
- Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
-Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
-of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
-applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
-conditions either of that published version or of any later version
-published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
-received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
-General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
-General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
-
- If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
-whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
-apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
-permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
-Library.

-What is WinGup?
----------------
-
-WinGup is a Generic Updater running under Windows environment.
-The aim of WinGup is to provide a ready to use and configurable updater
-which downloads a update package then installs it. By using cURL library
-and TinyXml module, WinGup is capable to deal with http protocol and process XML data.
-
-
-Why WinGup?
------------
-
-Originally WinGup was made for the need of Notepad++ (a generic source code editor under MS Windows).
-During its conception, the idea came up in my mind: if it can fit Notepad++, it can fit for any Windows program.
-So here it is, with LGPL license to have no (almost not) restriction for integration in any project.
-
-
-
-How does it work?
------------------
-
-WinGup can be launched by your program or manually. It reads from a xml configuration file
-for getting the current version of your program and url where WinGup gets update information,
-checks the url (with given current version) to get the update package location,
-downloads the update package, then run the update package (it should be a msi or an exe) in question.
-
-
-
-Who will need it?
------------------
-
-Being LGPLed, WinGup can be integrated in both commercial (or close source) and open source project.
-So if you run a commercial or open a source project under MS Windows and you release your program at
-regular intervals, then you may need WinGup to notice your users the new update.
-
-
-
-What do you need to use it?
----------------------------
-
-A url to provide the update information to your WinGup and an another url location
-to store your update package, that's it!
-
-
-
-How is WinGup easy to use?
---------------------------
-
-All you have to do is point WinGup to your url update page (by modifying gup.xml),
-then work on your pointed url update page (see getDownLoadUrl.php comes with the release)
-to make sure it responds to your WinGup with the correct xml data.
-
-
-
-How to build it?
-----------------
-
- 0. You have to build cURL before building WinGup:
- ```
- a. Open VS2015 Native Tool Command for 32/64 bits
- b. go to curl winbuild directory:
- cd \curl\winbuild
- c. compile cURL by using one of the following commands, according the mode and archetecture of wingup you want to build.
- x64 release: nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll vc=14 RTLIBCFG=static MACHINE=x64
- x64 debug: nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll vc=14 RTLIBCFG=static DEBUG=yes MACHINE=x64
- x86 release: nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll vc=14 RTLIBCFG=static MACHINE=x86
- x86 debug: nmake /f Makefile.vc mode=dll vc=14 RTLIBCFG=static DEBUG=yes MACHINE=x86
-```
- 1. Open [`vcproj\GUP.vcxproj`](https://github.com/gup4win/wingup/blob/master/vcproj/GUP.vcxproj)
-
- 2. Build WinGup [like a normal Visual Studio project](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7s88b19e.aspx) with VS2015
-

-
-To whom should you say "thank you"?
