Building Kepler Installers
How to build Kepler installers from the build system
These notes are about building installers using the Kepler-2.x build system. See Building Kepler 1.0 for instructions on building installers for Kepler 1.0.
- Download and build the development version of Kepler. See the Build System Instructions. The top-level directory ("src") and the kepler directory ("kepler") may have any name.
mkdir src cd src mkdir kepler cd kepler svn co https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/build-area cd build-area ant change-to -Dsuite=kepler ant clean-cache ant eclipse
- Download Launch4J.
- Install launch4j so that it is in a directory adjacent to the kepler directory. "ls src" should yield:
kepler launch4j
- In the kepler/build-area directory, run
ant installer
Troubleshooting
If you getbuild-area/build.xml:350: The following error occurred while executing this line: build-area/build.xml:416: net.sf.launch4j.BuilderException: Icon doesn't exist.*Then "look in build-area/installer/launch-kepler.xml or launch-installer.xml. Check that the path to the icon specified exists."
