Provide binary packages for the most common platforms #14

Open zimon opened 14 years ago

zimon commented 14 years ago

There should be binary packages provided at least in exe (if the program runs on windows), deb and rpm format. Maybe a MacOS binary would be usefull as well.

zimon commented 14 years ago

Maybe there should be some kind of roadmap that defines which features should be implemented in version 0.2. So there would be a goal and when it is reached it makes sense to provide binary packages for it.

How about getting those features done that are not labeled as "future"? I'm a bit unsure about text formatting (issue #4), though -- could be a bit more work.

By the way, I could only provide a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux at the moment. However, I could install Fedora and/or SuSE in VirtualBox for the rpm packages. But for now, there's no chance I could get Mac or Windows binaries done.

I could try to build a deb packet for ubuntu/debian. Maybe mark issue #4 (formatting) as future feature. I think it is not that important.

Aye!

I reopened the issue because ... it's not done yet. :)

I tried to compile on OSX Lion and it does compile. So far the good news. The bad news is that when I run it with a presentation my black screen stays black and nothing happens. I'll try to look into this in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the feedback!

I appreciate any help on this issue. I still don't have access to MacOS and I don't think that will change for the next couple of years.

Due to a very, very busy schedule it took a little longer than I hoped. But, .... tadaaaa...., I compiled it on OSX and it works. This is what I did: (On OSX Lion 10.7.3)

I'll try create a complete package, including all needed libraries, but that could take a while.

tonk commented 12 years ago

Oke, I've got it.

At the bottom of the SConstruct file I added:

Install instruction

env.Install('usr/local/bin', source = ['pdfpres']) env.Install('usr/local/man/man1', source = ['man1/pdfpres.1'])

to install in the local directory.

Then I created an OSX package. For people to test it please download at: http://tonkersten.com/files/pdfpres/pdfpres.pkg

Nice!

I have no way to test this -- anyone out there?

tonk commented 12 years ago

I tested it on a MB of a coworker and it seems you need GTK2 as well. You can install it from ports, but then you also need XCode and that would be to much. Looking into that. I guess I need the GTK+/OSX set, just like The Gimp.
