Remove all obsolete release-generation scripts.
Only leave the files which are still used for the daily snapshots generation. Also remove the obsolete release-making instructions. See #11610. git-svn-id: https://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk@63944 c3d73ce0-8a6f-49c7-b76d-6d57e0e08775

How to prepare wxGTK distribution
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
0. Introduction
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
This note explains what should be done, step by step, to prepare the packages
|
||||
for a wxGTK distribution. Note that the same instructions should be used for
|
||||
the other Unix-based ports including wxMotif, wxX11 and wxBase.
|
||||
|
||||
See distrib/msw/makerpm for a script that embodies some of the steps
|
||||
below.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Preparing the sources
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
a) Do a fresh checkout using the command
|
||||
|
||||
svn checkout http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk wxWidgets
|
||||
|
||||
b) Create a build directory under wxWidgets, e.g. I use "gtk-release",
|
||||
"cd" to it and run configure: the options don't really matter, you can use
|
||||
something like
|
||||
|
||||
../configure -C --without-subdirs
|
||||
|
||||
to make it run a bit faster.
|
||||
|
||||
c) Then type "make -j1 dist bzip-dist-only". This should create the
|
||||
following files;
|
||||
|
||||
wxGTK-${version}.tar.bz2
|
||||
wxGTK-demos-${version}.tar.bz2
|
||||
wxGTK-samples-${version}.tar.bz2
|
||||
wxGTK-${version}.tar.gz
|
||||
wxGTK-demos-${version}.tar.gz
|
||||
wxGTK-samples-${version}.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
where version is something like 2.3.2.
|
||||
|
||||
Note 1: "-j1" is needed now because make dist target is broken and doesn't
|
||||
allow parallelizing, if your make is aliased to "make -j4" (like
|
||||
mine), it simply won't work.
|
||||
|
||||
Note 2: there are also dist-only and bzip-dist targets, the "-only" suffix
|
||||
means to just create the archive supposing that the files
|
||||
themselves are already under _dist_dir/wxGTK-${version} where
|
||||
"make dist" creates them
|
||||
|
||||
2. Building the RPMs
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Note that we didn't check if the library actually could be built -- this is
|
||||
because it is done during this step, during the RPM generation. If, for
|
||||
whatever reason, you don't build the RPMs, you must have checked previously
|
||||
that the library could be built -- nothing worse than a release which doesn't
|
||||
even compile!
|
||||
|
||||
The rest of this section applies to a system with RPM installed (Redhat in my
|
||||
case).
|
||||
|
||||
a) Setting up the RPM tree: you should have the RPM tree set up properly
|
||||
before doing anything else. If you are going to build the RPMs as root,
|
||||
you already have one under /usr/src/redhat and can just build there.
|
||||
Otherwise you may do it (without root rights) in any directory RPM_ROOT.
|
||||
RPM_ROOT should have the following subdirectories: BUILD, RPMS, SOURCES,
|
||||
SPECS and SRPMS. RPMS should contain i386, i686 and noarch. You should
|
||||
also create the file ~/.rpmmacros containing at least a line like this:
|
||||
"%_topdir /biton/zeitlin/rpm" (replace the directory with $RPM_ROOT, of
|
||||
course)
|
||||
|
||||
In either case, put the file wxGTK-${version}.tar.bz2 in SOURCES
|
||||
subdirectory and wxGTK.spec in SPECS one (hint: you can just link them from
|
||||
there -- like this you won't forget to update them after redoing "make
|
||||
dist").
|
||||
|
||||
b) Start RPM build by going to RPM_ROOT directory and typing "rpm -ba
|
||||
SPECS/wxGTK.spec". It may be a good idea to append "2>&1 | tee wxGTK.out"
|
||||
(or "|& tee" if you're using the one true shell ;-) as it might be not
|
||||
easy to detect errors in the verbose rpm output if anything goes wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
Then wait (and pray that nothing goes wrong because if anything does
|
||||
you'll have to restart from the very beginning because rpm doesn't allow
|
||||
to short circuit the package generation).
|
||||
|
||||
If everything goes well, this should produce many files in SRPMS and
|
||||
RPMS/i386 subdirectories.
|
||||
|
||||
Use "rpm -ba --with gtk2" to build GTK+2 version of wxGTK and use
|
||||
"rpm -ba --with gtk2 --with unicode" to build GTK+2 Unicode build
|
||||
(these are defaults, you can use --without option to change this).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: you may want to set the environment variable SMP to 3 or 4 on an
|
||||
SMP machine to speed up the build (it uses "make -j$SMP" if the
|
||||
variable is set)
|
||||
|
||||
c) Test the resulting RPMs: install them using "rpm -i" (or "rpm -U) as usual
|
||||
and try to build some samples using makefile.unx ("make -f makefile.unx")
|
||||
so that they use wx-config in the PATH and not from the build tree
|
||||
|
||||
3. Building the DEBs
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is explained in more details in debian/README.HowToBuild.txt.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Uploading the files
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
All files should be uploaded (via FTP) to several locations.
|
||||
|
||||
a) incoming.sourceforge.net, go to project admin page on sf.net and choose
|
||||
add/edit releases for more details
|
||||
|
||||
b) ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub (Julian has the password)
|
||||
|
||||
