CHDK-Shell is a nice GUI for developers to easily download, compile and manage the CHDK sources on a Windows platform.

The CHDK-Shell is written with AutoIt scripting language (easy to customise, the source code is included) by whim from the CHDK forum.

Getting Started

• Download the FULL package (file CHDK-Shell-{version}-FULL-SFX.exe, approx. 17 Mb), it includes appropriate GCC compiler versions & all required files
• Extract to an empty directory without spaces in name (example: D:\CHDK) - the installer will create one for you if you type a non-existing folder name;
• When done, open the folder and start CHDK-Shell-{version}.exe
• To install an update version, just choose your existing folder (that would be D:\CHDK in case of the example above) and allow the updater to overwrite files

Supported OS

• Windows 2000 (tested)
• Windows XP (tested)
• Windows 2003 (tested, thanks hotvedt !)
• Windows Vista (tested, thanks nmcconnell !)
• Windows 2008 (needs testing, anyone ?)
• Windows 7 (tested, thanks Darkness !)

please post feedback (questions, bug reports, suggestions) in the CHDK-Shell thread or this thread on the German Forum --- Note that posting on either forum requires registering.

Features

• downloads gcc compiler / complete CHDK building environment, tools and current CHDK source (trunk or branches)
• compiles CHDK for selected or all cameras with access to many compile time options
• user configurable, flexible CHDK source updating with optional auto-compilation
• includes CardTricks to install and manage CHDK on your SD-Cards
• does not permanently change your enviroment, no conflicts with other compilers already installed on your machine
• option to check/download/install program updates
• clones & manages multiple build trees, creates Diff, and applies Patch files
• switchable gcc 3.4 / 4.x support
• Windows Vista / Windows 2008 / Windows 7 support (thanks to nmcconnell for the golden tip !)
• switchable support for the german chdkde source tree ^New !
• ...and much more helpful tools & features for the CHDK development

Compilation

To compile your own CHDK just select camera (and firmware), select apropriate compile options and press Compile Selected button. After a while your binaries will appear in the directory: your_source/bin. You can easly click the Source Code Folder to open this place and then navigate to ./bin.

Download

CHDK-Shell dowload site thanks to fe50, alternative downloads in "Development" here

Note: For a first install, use the version marked '(full)' (~ 20 MB) Versions not marked 'full' are updates (no GCC compilers, ~ 1.9 MB) Packaged as 7-zip self extracters, unpack to a path without spaces

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.38 (released: 2011-10-18) ^New !

added: Option to use fading (i.o. sliding) in/out for window animation. Looks better on systems with Aero themes.

added: Support for tsvstar's patch for better default language handling (http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=650.msg75254#msg75254) Default (built-in) language can now be changed to any language for which a language file is present in /CHDK/LANG. The relevant option can be found in "Compile Options", separate settings are maintained for CHDK and CHDK-DE. Please note these are written to the ini file, and will automatically be applied to any builds that have an "OPT_DEFAULT_LANG" entry in 'buildconf.inc'. Builds that had their 'localbuildconf.inc' corrupted by previous versions will be fixed on opening.

Security: Clean according to Jotti and VirusTotal, except 2 false reports:

Antiy-AVL 2.0.3.7 calls it: "Trojan/win32.agent.gen"

Jiangmin 13.0.900 calls it: "Trojan/Refroso.ijp"

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.3 (released: 2011-10-18)

fixed: Adapted camera list parsing for philmoz' new Makefile system v. 2 + CHDKLover's mods for CHDK-DE. Tested on CHDK-DE 829 with CHDKLover's patch applied. Thanks !

changed: maxsearch0 and maxsearch1 are now reset to default when a new ini is generated, to (hopefully) prevent problems as reported here by waterwingz. Thanks !

fixed: Tooltips in cam panel showed "ETA" i.o. "BETA" status

fixed: 'Version Statistics' reported nonsense info due to a change in the way SVN returns it's date info.

fixed: Routine to enable/disable controls in the mainGUI caused certain buttons to occasionally lose their text.

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.36 (released: 2011-10-12)

fixed: Adapted Makefile and camera list parsing for philmoz' new Makefile system v. 2 (tested OK on philmoz' branch builds 1336 and 1362)

fixed: Small graphical bug in miniGUI: a 6 x 1 pixel gap between 'Play button' and 'camera body' would be visible when the miniGUI was positioned over a light background; a new 'cam8.png' in the update fixes this.

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.35 (released: 2011-09-14)

fixed: Upcoming changes in the Makefile system (see this forum thread: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=6747.0) would crash CHDK-Shell; this should no longer happen now. (tested on philmoz1336 branch)

Hotfix: (2011-09-15) updated CHDK-Shell_Updater.7z because of a missing file.

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.33 (released: 2011-07-31)

changed: 'Remove old builds' code now properly keeps user selected number of builds, respecting any missed downloads; also removed forced minimum count (was 5, now 1)

added: As extra precaution against possible loss of data there's now also an option to send the removed old builds to Recycle Bin (Trashcan) instead of deleting them outright (while at work, tooltip will show 'Recycling' and 'Deleting', respectively). Additionally, when using Recycle, the "mark-for-removal" prefix ('~!~') is removed to make restoring them a one step operation. Thanks for the suggestions, waterwingz

note: Although this should help to avoid you losing any modifications you make to builds that are downloaded and unpacked by CHDK-Shell, it is still highly recommended to clone the original, and make your modifications in this clone (clones are never removed); if you then diff this working copy with the original, you should be able to create usable patches. To clone a build, use the 'linked squares' icon near the 'Change' button.

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.32 (released: 2011-07-09)

added: Program uptime and CPU 'consumption' (in "Debug .." dialog); values are updated @ every timer tick (like 'Mem Usage' values) CPU used is shown separately for kernel and user mode, expressed as a percentage of program uptime.

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.31 (released: 2011-07-06)

added: Improved info in "Firmware" tooltips, now also shows duplicate status as "DUP of ..."

added: When (in "Compile Options..") a primary root directory is defined, AND a pdf user manual containing the camera name is found in {ext_primary}\{cam_name}, it will automatically be opened when you click the camera button. Note that this works even if you don't use (uncheck) the PRIMARY_ROOT option, as long as the PDF name contains the camera name, example: ixus70_sd1000 manual would be opened if the PDF name contains either "ixus70" or "sd1000".

fixed: Nasty (seldomly appearing ?) bug where "ELF objdump" text would disappear (from the checkbox in main GUI)
