Building via the CVS Repository

The standard procedure (at exept) is to use the CVS repository for building deployable products. This is usually done by:
  1. creating a fresh working directory on a machine
  2. checking out (a potentially tagged) repository state there This includes both a definite version of the stx base system and a version of the application to be built. Normally, the application is to be built in a diretory beside the stx top directory.
  3. perform a build there. This creates a self-installable (NSIS) setup executable in the applications project directory.
Of course, all of this can be automated, as there is not smalltalk image or browser interaction required. Everything is controlled by makefiles.
The same procedure is used to generate deployables for linux or other unix-based operating systems.

Building without Repository (Local Build)

For a local build, no repository is used. Instead, all files are generated in a temporary build directory (sources, makefiles and support files). Then, a normal make-controlled build is executed there.
