A package should contain the main binary curl.exe along with +the appropriate documentation and license information files. For development +releases, you should also include the header directory and probably the +compiled binaries of libcurl and the appropriate Makefiles/project definition +files for the compiler used. + +A simple packaging mechanism can be based on a set of batch files which call +zip.exe with the appropriate files from the curl distribution - see the +samples included below (Long lines have been split with "\" as the split +marker, you'll want to rejoin the pieces to be all on one line in the batch +file). Call any of these batch files - after compiling the curl binaries - +with a single parameter specifying the name of the archive file to be created. + +It is implicitely assumed that all of the binary files (curl.exe, libcurl.a, +etc) have previously been copied to the main directory of the curl source +package (the directory where the main README resides), because that is where +they should end up in the zip archive. The archive should *not* be built with +absolute path information because the user will want to locally extract the +archive contents and shift the binaries to his executable directory. + +SCRIPT_TEMPLATES + +curlpkg.bat: + zip -9 %1 curl.exe CHANGES LEGAL MPL-1.0.txt README \ + docs/FAQ docs/FEATURES docs/README.curl docs/README.win32 docs/TODO + +curldevpkg.bat: + zip -9 %1 curl.exe include\README include\curl\*.h CHANGES docs\* \ + curl.spec curl-ssl.spec LEGAL lib/Makefile.m32 src/Makefile.m32 \ + libcurl.a libcurl.def libcurl.dll libcurldll.a MPL-1.0.txt README + +PROCEDURE_EXAMPLE + +A standard packaging routine (for MingW32) using the above batch files could +go like this: +(No SSL) (With SSL) +cd <curl-sourcedir>\lib cd <curl-sourcedir>\lib +make -f Makefile.m32 make -f Makefile.m32 SSL=1 +cd ..\src cd ..\src +make -f Makefile.m32 make -f Makefile.m32 SSL=1 +cd .. cd .. +copy lib\libcurl.a . copy lib\libcurl.a . +copy src\curl.exe . copy src\curl.exe . +curlpkg curl-win32-nossl.zip curlpkg curl-win32-ssl.zip |
