Compiling for win and mac on linux

[Gallefray]

Hi all, I don't know if this problem has been sorted in the forums before or not, but I'm short on time at the moment D:

Is there anyway to compile my .love into binary form for windows and mac, when I'm on linux.

I don't at the moment have access to my windows computer, and I don't have a mac, so is there anyway to do this?

I would have though that for windows I could just do the following:

Code: Select all

cp -u game.love love.exe lovegame.exe

Unfortunately my knowledge of the CLI is quite good but not good enough to know whether it would work.

:/

Thanks in advance.

If you're building a .exe for windows from either mac or linux, you can use this command:

Code: Select all

cat love.exe mygame.love > mygame.exe

I wrote some scripts a while back, and came up with the following which I used for LD24.

These scripts build for windows, OSX and the love file.

From what I can understand:

Code: Select all

cp dev/build_data/love.app tmp/${NAME}_${GIT}.app -Rv

Creates a folder containing the contents of love.app

Code: Select all

cp ${NAME}_${GIT}.love tmp/${NAME}_${GIT}.app/Contents/Resources/

Copy's the .love into the folder of love.app

Code: Select all

patch tmp/${NAME}_${GIT}.app/Contents/Info.plist -i dev/build_data/osx.patch

patches the contents of osx.patch with Info.plist? I don't understand what and why this does that... :/

Code: Select all

zip -r ../${NAME}_macosx[$GIT].zip ${NAME}_${GIT}.app

obviously bundles it up into an application

You can read about the info.plist on the wiki

And yes, that's what the scripts do!
