Is it possible to use Codelite info to make DEB packae

Post by coder99 »

After building an app, I would like to be able to package it so that I can move it all to another machine for testing, short of installing Codelite & wxWidgets etc on the second machine.

All the information I have read on creating a DEB package, or even a gedbi package seems like it will take as much effort to package it as it did to write it :-)
Consequently, I was hoping that somehow some of the dependencies information within CL could be used to ease the effort to package it.
TIA

Win 10/11 64-bit, MSVC 2019/2022, wxWidgets 3.2.1, CodeLite 17.0 Mint 21.2

I myself is using CMake to package it for me (NOT the packages that goes into the repository, but rather the .deb files that I release for weekly builds)
CMake comes with a tool called CPack. It can package for you in the format of deb, rpm or even Windows / Mac installers.

You can have a look at CodeLite's CMake file to see how I package. Once the the makefile are generated, all that needs to be done is to run "make package"
https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Packaging_With_CPack

CodeLite's main CMakeLists.txt file (search for CPack):

Thank you, Eran
I am now in the process of getting to know CMake - seems it will take some time :(
