[3.x] Unclear instructions on how compiled export templates are named and should be renamed for install in templates directory

[Fipsdot]

Tested versions

Godot: 3.5.3
FreeBSD: 14.1

System information

FreeBSD 14.1, Godot 3.5.3

Issue description

I’m trying to build the export template for FreeBSD, but can’t get the files being generated. I’m using the steps documented here. However, no files called linux_x11_64_release or linux_x11_64_debug are generated. What’s the issue? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Greetings,
Fabiano

PS: Specifying module_webm_enabled=no was necessary to build without an error I will deal with in a separate thread as soon as this issue is resolved!

Steps to reproduce

git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godot.git
cd godot
git checkout 3.5.3-stable
scons platform=x11 module_webm_enabled=no
scons module_webm_enabled=no plaform=x11 tools=no target=release bits=64
scons module_webm_enabled=no plaform=x11 tools=no target=release_debug bits=64
find . -type f -name linux_x11_64_release
[nothing here]

This is not project-specific

The files are under bin, what files exist there?

linux_x11_64_release is the name you should rename the generated file to.
The output of Godot's buildsystem should be something like godot.x11.opt.64.

The documentation should be edited to make this clearer, it mentions the files should be "named" but it should at least say "renamed" (but could be reworded further for clarity).

Moving to the docs repo.

Note that you don't need to do this rename at all if you just select the compiled binary as "Custom Release Template" and "Custom Debug Template" in the export preset. The rename is only if you want to install the templates where Godot expects official export templates to be installed (i.e. overriding the existing Linux/X11 ones).

This was the issue! Thanks for this fast clarification!
