Example build commands

Assuming your project is in a folder called "ti-project". These instructions are for SDK 1.3.1-beta, where the build script is named "tidebuilder.py".

Windows

:: First install this:
:: - python 2.7.3
:: - imagemagick
:: - tidesdk 1.3.1-beta, manually extracted into C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TideSDK
:: - wix v3.0 (if you install v3.6, edit "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Titanium\sdk\win32\1.2.0.RC4\win32_app.py" and set the path to WiX as "WiX Toolset v3.6" instead of "Windows Installer XML v3")

:: make sure directories exist
mkdir "packages/win32/network"
mkdir "packages/win32/bundle"

:: package as installer
"C:\Python27\python.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TideSDK\sdk\win32\1.3.1-beta\tidebuilder.py" -p -n -t network -d "packages/win32/network" -o "win32" "ti-project/"
"C:\Python27\python.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TideSDK\sdk\win32\1.3.1-beta\tidebuilder.py" -p -n -t bundle -d "packages/win32/bundle" -o "win32" "ti-project/"

:: click-to-run
mkdir "packages/win32/run"
"C:\Python27\python.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TideSDK\sdk\win32\1.3.1-beta\tidebuilder.py" -r -t bundle -d "packages/win32/run" -o "win32" "ti-project/"

Mac OSX

# use the one that correspond to the sdk you want to use
export path_to_sdk=~/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium/sdk/osx/1.2.0.RC4/
export path_to_sdk=~/Library/Application\ Support/TideSDK/sdk/osx/1.3.1-beta/

# make sure directories exist
mkdir -p "packages/osx/network"
mkdir -p "packages/osx/bundle"

# dmg with app package within
python "$path_to_sdk/tidebuilder.py" -p -n -t network -d "packages/osx/network" -o "osx" "ti-project/"
python "$path_to_sdk/tidebuilder.py" -p -n -t bundle -d "packages/osx/bundle" -o "osx" "ti-project/"

# click-to-run
mkdir -p "packages/osx/run"
python "$path_to_sdk/tidebuilder.py" -r -t bundle -d "packages/osx/run" -o "osx" "ti-project/"
