This is a simple tool I made to help in distributing RCBasic programs across different operating systems. A quick note about the Mac OS packaging. It will create an unsigned app. It will still run but the user will have to allow an unregistered app to run on there computer. If you want to sign your app you will need a Mac to do it. You can find a number of tutorials online about how to sign an app on Mac.
Here is a quick video showing how to use the tool: |

I just uploaded an update to this tool. I tested some of the generated packages on a few more systems and I bundled more libraries to increase compatibility on more linux systems.
NOTE: This tool still only runs on linux

Thanks for the upgrade... I am NOT a fan of Micro$oft, and I do enjoy it when I see 'Linux Only', but I am curious as to what the difficulties are in producing a tool for our 'open sourced' challenged cousins?

johnno56 Technically, it probably wouldn't be too difficult but it would involve rewriting all the system() calls to Windows commands. The utility that I use to generate the icon for Mac is a linux utility so that would have to be substituted for a windows utility. And AppImage Kit is linux only software. That is not really an issue either because I could still generate the 64-bit package bundle for 64-bit linux systems. What it really comes down to is time. I don't mind investing time into something that could be useful but there doesn't seem to be a lot of Windows users on here. If there is a demand for a Windows or Mac version I might port it but I haven't gotten any requests from any Windows users.

I may need a little help with the dist tool.
I managed successfully to distribute a game to both Lin64 and Win64 without error.
Web... not so much. The process completed but when I ran it... "Exception thrown, see JavaScript console"
Geany's compile message window displayed a warning...

Resolving SDK alias 'latest' to '2.0.26-lto'
Resolving SDK version '2.0.26-lto' to 'sdk-releases-upstream-b92ba43f3ac92ab6f1ce6136a8c5969b68ba6968-64bit'
Setting the following tools as active:
node-14.15.5-64bit
releases-upstream-b92ba43f3ac92ab6f1ce6136a8c5969b68ba6968-64bit
Next steps:
- To conveniently access emsdk tools from the command line,
consider adding the following directories to your PATH:
/home/john/Programs/rcbasic/tools/dist/rc_em/emsdk
/home/john/Programs/rcbasic/tools/dist/rc_em/emsdk/node/14.15.5_64bit/bin
/home/john/Programs/rcbasic/tools/dist/rc_em/emsdk/upstream/emscripten
- This can be done for the current shell by running:
source "/home/john/Programs/rcbasic/tools/dist/rc_em/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh"
- Configure emsdk in your shell startup scripts by running:
echo 'source "/home/john/Programs/rcbasic/tools/dist/rc_em/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh"' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
Adding directories to PATH:
PATH += /home/john/Programs/rcbasic/tools/dist/rc_em/emsdk
PATH += /home/john/Programs/rcbasic/tools/dist/rc_em/emsdk/upstream/emscripten
PATH += /home/john/Programs/rcbasic/tools/dist/rc_em/emsdk/node/14.15.5_64bit/bin
Setting environment variables:

johnno56 Can you upload your web build? As for android, I can make a video on that.

Your web build works. You have to setup a local http server that supports web assembly to run it from your desktop. You can do this with python3 by running this command from the folder where your web build is at: python -m http.serverAnd then going to http://localhost:8000/ in your browser and opening your html page. Once you are ready to publish it you can upload it to a host like itch.io. Here is your web build running in my web host: creepoutRCOn the android thing, I am making some changes which I will post here once its ready. |
