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.

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.11 (released: 2011-04-08)

changed: Management of optional components (in 'Compile Options ..') Following a suggestion by philmoz (thanks!) the 'native' method to manage non-default options is now used: 'localbuildconf.inc' replaces the old mechanism with 'buildconf.inc' and 'conditional.txt'. Conversion is automatic, and previously defined non-default settings are detected and kept.

• CHDK-Shell Version 3.10 (released: 2011-04-06)
• CHDK-Shell Full Version 3.10 (released: 2011-04-06) ^New !

fixed: Formatting and comments in 'buildconf.inc' options were messed up after changing compile options; apart from added/removed '#' it should now be identical to 'buildconf.inc.org'

fixed: On changing settings in GUI -> CamPanel, new settings were not properly applied until the next GUI refresh.

changed: Camera panel tooltips are now always enabled (do not react to unchecking 'Tooltips')
