Building wrapper/vboxwrapper for release
Update Version Information
Versions numbers are sequential (independent of other version #s).
Update the following files:
- version.h (WRAPPER_RELEASE, VBOXWRAPPER_RELEASE)
- configure.ac (same)
- win_build/<project file>: update the .exe filename for 32/64 bit and debug/release
Commit and push changes to git.
Create Git Tag
Create a new tag for the release.
Wrapper:
wrapper/<version number>
Vboxwrapper:
vboxwrapper/<version number>
Commit and push changes to git.
Build
Windows
If the VBox version has changed, you'll need to download the SDK from Vbox and add the .tlb file (with a name like vbox60.tlb). Then you'll need to create files vbox_mscom60.cpp,h, and add these to the solution.
Execute a Visual Studio command prompt from boinc/winbuild:
$> buildenv.cmd type release platform <x86|x64> $> build <wrapper|vboxwrapper> $> <codesignwrap|codesignvbox>
NOTE: the above doesn't currently work. I just built them from VS.
Zip up the EXE and corresponding PDB file into a zip file and upload to the BOINC sever.
Linux
Execute from boinc/:
$> ./_autosetup $> ./configure --disable-server --disable-client --disable-manager $> make clean $> make $> cd samples/<wrapper|vboxwrapper> $> make clean $> make $> strip <wrapper/vboxwrapper> $> mv <wrapper/vboxwrapper> <finale executable name> $> zip <finale executable name>.zip <finale executable name>
Zip up the executable into a zip file and upload to the BOINC server.
Mac
Follow the instructions in boinc/<wrapper/vboxwrapper>/ReadMe.txt for building the wrapper.
