Auto creating installers across build platforms

Hi,

I’m very new to Xojo and bought in because I’m particularly keen on cross-platform development. I’m not a developer, just a retiree with a hobby or two, so what I’m posting here will be nothing new to most people here but I though it might be useful to someone.

I have been looking for a way to automate the creation of installers and to integrate it into the Xojo build process. What I’ve ended up with is a Xojo IDE-Script and a shell script that run on my Mac and automatically create dmg, deb and exe packages for Mac, Linux and Windows respectively. It’s primitive in the options available but it works fine for my simple apps.

If anyone is interested you can find the details here:
