We use maven for building. Just use mvn clean install and all files will be build into target/dist folder.
We use maven profiles to package distribution files. Just activate one or more profiles and the packages will be generated into target/release folder.
| Profile | Target OS | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| packageArchives | all | Creates zip, tar.gz and tar.bz2 archives |
| packageDeb | Linux | Creates a DEB package to be distributed to Debian based operating systems |
| packageOsx | Mac OS | Creates a ZIP files to be distributed to Mac OS |
| packageWin | Windows | Creates a Setup-Exe file to be distributed to Windows systems |
You might also chain the profiles, so use mvn clean install -P packageArchives,packageDeb to create archives and a DEB package.
If you want to activate ALL profiles, there is a shortcut. Just use mvn clean install -DpackageAll (yes, it is a D, not a P).
Note: Packaging has been only tested on linux!
Note: If you want to distribute a Setup-Exe for Windows systems you first have to update the two properties exec.wine and exec.iscc to appropriate paths.
