Building a delivery

The following commands create a new delivery of EiffelStudio in the current directory. The script assumes that you are running bash, that you have defined the environment variable EIFFEL_SRC and that you have followed the instructions to compile EiffelStudio.

On Windows you may alternativly use the this Powershell script.

Prerequisites

Before starting, one has to setup a few things:

export SVNURL=https://svn.eiffel.com/eiffelstudio/trunk
export NEW_ISE_EIFFEL=`pwd`/EiffelXX
svn co $SVNURL/Delivery EiffelXX

Building a delivery (common part)

To build a delivery for any platform, you first need to create the delivery layout correctly. The building of that layout differs between Windows and Unix.

On Unix, you have to do the following:

cd $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/config
mv unix $ISE_PLATFORM
cd $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec
mv unix $ISE_PLATFORM
mkdir $ISE_PLATFORM/bin
mkdir $ISE_PLATFORM/include
mkdir $ISE_PLATFORM/lib
mv $ISE_PLATFORM/finish_freezing $ISE_PLATFORM/bin
mv $ISE_PLATFORM/prelink $ISE_PLATFORM/bin

On Windows, this:

cd $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/config
mv windows $ISE_PLATFORM
cd $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec
mkdir $ISE_PLATFORM/include
mkdir $ISE_PLATFORM/lib
cp -f windows/compile_library.bat $ISE_PLATFORM/compile_library.bat

Building a delivery for the same platform

After having followed the instructions to compile EiffelStudio, you must have the runtime compiled. Then you first need to copy the new headers:

cp $EIFFEL_SRC/C/run-time/*.h $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/include

And then the various binary objects that were generated. Again here Windows and Unix have a different set of steps.

On Unix, you need to do the following:

cp $EIFFEL_SRC/C/config.sh $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/include
cp $EIFFEL_SRC/C/run-time/lib* $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/lib
cp $EIFFEL_SRC/C/run-time/x2c $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin
cp $EIFFEL_SRC/C/ipc/daemon/ecdbgd $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin

On Windows, you need to do the following:

mkdir $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/lib/$ISE_C_COMPILER
cp $EIFFEL_SRC/C/run-time/lib/* $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/lib/$ISE_C_COMPILER
cp $EIFFEL_SRC/C/run-time/x2c.exe $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin
cp $EIFFEL_SRC/C/ipc/daemon/ecdbgd.exe $NEW_ISE_EIFFEL/studio/spec/$ISE_PLATFORM/bin

Now your delivery is ready to receive the executable that you will have compiled.
