Instructions on building UNIX binary distributions
==================================================
Creating the UNIX installers includes a few manual steps but is
straightforward. The key stages are:
* Building Ice
- obtaining and possibly building required third party libraries
This is essentially the same thing as described in our INSTALL.x
files.
- establishing the build environment
This is the same as just building Ice.
- obtaining source distributions
You can either obtain them by running makedist.py in each CVS
source tree, copying them from another location, or allowing
makebindist.py to collect them. It is recommended that you build
the source distributions on Linux and copy the source distros to
the UNIX build machine.
- run makebindist.py
The makebindist.py script does the following:
* unpacks the source distributions into working directories
* massages the build system as appropriate
* builds the Ice components
* installs the Ice components into a staging install directory
* copies third party libraries that need to accompany the
distribution
* creates gzipped tarballs for distribution
On Linux, makebindist.py also:
* creates the demo sources tarball
* creates RPMs from the staged install directory
* creates an SRPM
On Linux, you more or less just need to run makebindist.py with the
appropriate flags and walk away. On other UNIX platforms, you will need
to do some initial setup by updating third party libraries and tools,
but after that is done the only extra step is downloading the source
distributions before running makebindist.py.
