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

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 3.32 (released: 2011-07-09) ^New !

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.

Security: Clean according to Jotti AND VirusTotal. Checksums (FileAlyzer) are:

    CHDK-Shell-v332-sfx.exe
    CRC-32:   E490FFD4
    MD5:      50BD036986453D71A05D5ACF6A27B0E1
    SHA1:     CD7CFEEE97DDDB5CF639A9BAAB6370F2D056E87B

    SHA1:     E2481C30DDD6130C8A2D3ED6A2B3F66D4ACD664F

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)
