BuildMate 1.2
BuildMate is a tool that enables you to automate the building process of REALbasic
projects. BuildMate can be used in many situations, from running on a schedule to
provide nightly builds, to reducing a complicated build process down to as little
as a single command.
With BuildMate you can set properties and constants in the project with static and
dynamic values from the build configuration file, move the resulting built
applications to a builds directory, etc. BuildMate is even extensible and provides
hooks before and after builds for you to run a script to make your build process do
the extra steps you need.
Here is a list of some capabilities you get with BuildMate:
- Build multiple projects from a single configuration file.
- Set constant and property values before building.
- Subversion integration for tasks such as updating the repository, getting revision numbers, etc.
- Copy resource and framework files into your built application package.
- Modify the data in Info.plist for Mac builds.
- Hooks give you complete control over the build process.
- Move built applications into a builds directory when done.
- Configuration files work cross platform.
- No user interaction required. Build can be fully automated.
