Hmm, builds for me off the latest develop branch and Travis has a working build on Linux too.

Which test is failing?

[lamar8]

It failed just after the command "mvn install",I tried Successful both in ubuntu and Mac OS X,but how can I make a EXE file? Is it possible to make an exe file in ubuntu or OS X?

[gary-rowe]

Sometimes Maven can get in a twist so here's some general build advice that may help:

• try building with mvn clean install on the command line off the develop branch for the latest code, use master for releases
• if you're in a hurry, use mvn -DskipTests=true clean install to get something off the ground

Java doesn't generally create native Windows EXE files. Instead the build creates a self-contained executable JAR file which will be named mbhd-swing/target/multibit-hd.jar after a successful build. You then use java -jar <path to jar> to run it from the command line.

If you want to create signed installers then you're better off just using the ones we've already built on the main site: https://multibit.org.

Thank you very much ! I also tried "mvn clean install" ,and failed the same reason.I just want to know how to build exe installer in windows ,or deb in linux ,dmg in OS X. It seems the original project "multibit" can build exe installer by "mvn install", but this failed. I'm not good at JAVA

[gary-rowe]

We've changed our installer technology away from IzPack which didn't allow a Java JRE to be packaged and led to a less than optimal installation experience. It also didn't work well on more modern operating systems.

Our new solution for both MultiBit HD and Classic (0.5.19+) is Install4j. This provides a much-improved user experience and we recommend it on our installation page.
