(old but functioning) Bash scripts to compile/package LÖVE games for Windows/Linux/Mac.

LövePackaging

Scripts to create LÖVE packages.

Currently working in Linux, untested in OS X (though it should work assuming you have wget installed), and undeveloped for Windows.

Features

• Builds executables for distribution on Windows and Mac. (Unfortunately, Linux isn't quite that simple, and requires the end-user to have love installed.)
• Supports including extra files automatically.
• Can automatically number builds.

Installation

(Note that this guide may differ from the one in the latest release, refer to the ReadMe there for 100% correct info!)

Quick Guide:

1. Download the latest release!
2. Copy the files wherever you want, inside your own repo, outside, wherever!
3. Edit lp-config.sh to specify options on how your packages will be built, including where the sources are and where to put the result.
4. Run ./lp-build.sh for Linux / Mac OS X (OSX users need wget installed!!). No Windows version yet, sorry.

A quick note to mention: The build script must be run from its own directory. Everything in the config.sh should be absolute directories.

lovepackaging's Issues

Something to do with folders not existing breaks things?

I was on a different branch from master working on LD34 and when I tried to build, it silently exited. I'm guessing this had something to do with different directories existing or not. After checking out master and building, then checking out the other branch again, it all worked out.

Old latest builds are not deleted!

(Or they are and I didn't notice, double check for myself by looking at the state of LD34 on my Arch laptop.)

Definitely hasn't ever worked. :/

Option to only build specific platforms

• Available from commandline
• Available from config file

Not compatible with 0.10.X releases

They changed the default file icons in the Mac bundle.
