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 !)
• Windows 8 / 8.1 (tested)
• Windows 10 (tested on 9926)

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

Note once on the box.com site be sure to page forward to find the latest full package version. "Allow Internet" is flakey. Manual download is likely your best bet: see http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=845.msg81028#msg81028.

||CHDK-Shell dowload site (link gives old version) 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 3.46 (released: 2015-05-24) ^New ! (links to CHDK forum page)

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.45 (released: 2015-04-21) (links to CHDK forum page)

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.44 (released: 2013-04-20)

fixed: Incorporated fixes by msl (and rudi ?) for downloading CHDK sources from SVN site, released as v3.44a. Thanks & kudo's for finding your way around in 10,000 lines of spaghetti ;)

added: Support for the 'batch-zip' and 'batch-zip-complete' Makefile 'recipes' This can speed up compilation for multiple cam/firmwares by up to 3 times, obviously at the expense of feedback about the progress in the GUI. Note that you will need to set the 'Cmd Windows' checkbox to either checked or greyed, or you will not be able to monitor the progress.

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.43 (released: 2012-02-15)

fixed: Previous versions failed on opening CHDK trunk r1665, thanks for reporting, asmodyne !

changed: Now compiled with AutoIt 3.3.8.1 release version; also set back the program's UPX compression level from --ultra-brute to --best, but still 2 false positives :(

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.41 (released: 2011-12-21)

fixed: Long standing bug in branch checking: when set to "All" it would keep downloading older - and even blacklisted - branches. Has now hopefully been fixed; also added a button to reset the blacklist, in view of the fact that any download or unpack error can land a branch there (Thanks, philmoz !)

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.40 (released: 2011-12-15)
• CHDK-Shell Full Version 3.40 (released: 2011-12-15) ^New !

changed: Tooltip during deleting/recycling of old builds will now show at top left corner of main or miniGUI (whichever is active)

fixed: "ELF objdump" now collects all 3 main.dump files (from /core, /loader/{camera} and /loader/{camera}/resetcode) in /bin/logs dump-{camera}-{firm}.txt; also tweaked the compilation batch file to produce less 'noise' in the CMD window, and to add full specs for SH and (native) GCC to the dump and log files.

fixed: Finally managed to get the 'SKIP_AUTOBUILD' status to show up in the 'cam panel' tooltips without breaking other info in there, to give users at least a clue why it might not work or compile ..

removed: (from 'Source Tools..') Camera properties fixing option; did not work anymore after recent additions. I might put it back in later, if there's any demand and I find time to fix it.

added: Automatic patching of /core/Makefile - future GCC versions (4.6.x) feature stricter checking of command line options; the patch is fully backwards compatible (as in: all GCC versions support it) Thanks Nilinhim ! See this post. Has been fixed in recent trunk revisions, but still usefull to make older revisions compilable.

Security: Clean according to Jotti.
