Installers:


Windows Installer:

We use Null Soft Installer NSIS located: here. Open MegaGlestInstaller.nsi located in mk/windoze/Installer

from the NSIS compiler and compile the installer into an executable. I use a free GUI editor for the installer called

HM NIS Edit which can be obtained from here: http://hmne.sourceforge.net/


Linux Installer:

We use the mojosetup installer located: here. To build a Linux installer, open a terminal window and navigate

to mk/linux/mojosetup/megaglest-installer. Edit make.sh and change the version # tag (some example below):

#megaglest_release_folder="trunk"
megaglest_release_folder="release-3.3.5.1"

From this folder run:

./make.sh

If everything runs properly, the script will build an installation from the binaries and data location in the svn project

specified in the top of the script (typically the trunk branch or a release branch) and the final installer is location in

the same folder as make.sh and called: megaglest-installer

This can be done on either 32 or 64 bit Linux architectures.
