Packaging an Application

You can package a completed application as a tar file, zip file, or Solaris SVR4, OpenSolaris IPS, Linux RPM, or Debian Linux package.

To package your completed project:

  1. Right-click the project in the Projects window and choose Properties.
  2. In the Project Properties dialog box, select the Packaging node.
  3. Select the package type from the drop-down list. The tool listed in the dialog box is updated to match the package type.

  5. Click the Packaging Files browse button to specify the files to include in the package.
  6. Change the tool if you want to use a different command to produce the selected package type.
  7. Type any additional options that you want to use on the command line for the tool when making the packages.
  8. Turn off verbose package build information if you want, by deselecting the checkbox.
  9. Click OK.
