1 Setting up a portable C++ project still is a pain in the ass, especially if it shall be portable.
2
3 When trying to automate it in some way, we came to the conclusion that a full example in a public subversion repository is a good solutions because it's easy to use for you and easy to maintain for us.

5 === {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-HowTo..."/}}HowTo ... ===
6
7 These are the steps for an ultra fast bootstrapping of a portable project relying on pba-cbs and [[our incarnation of the MinGW cross compilation toolchain>>doc:MINGW64.WebHome]].
8
9 ===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-Prepare"/}}Prepare =====
10
11 Just to avoid frustration: You need the {{code language="none"}}pba-cbs{{/code}} package installed, using i.e. the {{code language="none"}}pba{{/code}} debsource from [[https:~~/~~/deb.clazzes.org>>url:https://deb.clazzes.org||shape="rect"]].
12
13 {{code language="none"}}pba-cbs{{/code}} depends on required packages, but do not forget {{code language="none"}}subversion{{/code}}, {{code language="none"}}gcc{{/code}}, ...
14
15 ===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-Retrievethesceleton"/}}Retrieve the sceleton =====
16
17 Decide for the main name of your app:
18
19 {{code language="none"}}
20 MYAPPNAME="myapp"
21 {{/code}}
22
23 Export our example from public svn:
24
25 {{code language="none"}}
26 svn export "https://svn.clazzes.org/svn/pba/trunk/pba-helloworld-portable" $MYAPPNAME
27 {{/code}}
28
29 ===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-Renameandsearch'n'replace"/}}Rename and search'n'replace =====
30
31 Rename some stuff and have the inlcude files adapted:
32
33 {{code language="none"}}
34 cd $MYAPPNAME
35  
36 scripts/rename_main_files.sh $MYAPPNAME
37 {{/code}}
38
39 ===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-Adaptdebianinformation..."/}}Adapt debian information ... =====
40
41 If you want debian-packages, edit them, change my name and e-mail to yours and adapt the description:
42
43 {{code language="none"}}
44 $EDITOR debian*/control debian*/changelog
45 {{/code}}
46
47 ===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-...ordropdebian/"/}}... or drop debian/ =====
48
49 If you do not want debian packages, just remove the debian directory:
50
51 {{code language="none"}}
52 rm -rf debian*
53 {{/code}}
54
55 ===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-AdapttheWindowsrctemplate..."/}}Adapt the Windows rc template ... =====
56
57 If you want windows binaries, edit the resoure template:
58
59 {{code language="none"}}
60 $EDITOR src/*.rc
61 {{/code}}
62
63 Do not forget to change the icon, too!
64
65 ===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-...orremoveit"/}}... or remove it =====
66
67 If you do not want windows binaries, remove it:
68
69 (((
70 {{code language="none"}}
71 rm src/*.rc
72 {{/code}}
73
74 In most cases you just broke the windows build!
75
76 ===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-Optional:Activatesvnoranotherrevisioncontrol"/}}Optional: Activate svn or another revision control =====
77 )))
78
79 Now (and before any build activity) is a very good time to put your project under subversion control:
80
81 {{code language="none"}}
82 svn add .
83 {{/code}}
84
85 You might also want to fill {{code language="none"}}svn:ignore{{/code}} properties of some directories:
86
87 {{code language="none"}}
88 scripts/set_svn_ignore.sh
89 {{/code}}
90
91 ===== {{id name="PBA-cbsbootstrappingofportableC++project-Optional:buildit"/}}Optional: build it =====
92
93 To produce a debian package, just:
94
95 {{code language="none"}}
96 pba-build -u
97  
98 # or dpkg-build*
99 {{/code}}
100
101 We will soon add {{code language="none"}}debian-mingw-*/{{/code}} directories and NSIS installers, for now for Windows just use make:
102
103 {{code language="none"}}
104 make -C build/win32/release/
105
106 make -C build/win64/release/
107 {{/code}}
