Nighlty builds

[ncannasse]

Anyone up to setup nightly builds ? :) @waneck @andyli

[ncannasse]

We need to fix our CI first (ping @andyli) then see if @waneck can help with it. Given that we do that already for Neko it shouldn't be that hard.

[andyli]

CI is green at the moment.

[waneck]

Just let me know what files we should submit and I'll set it up

[ncannasse]

Ah good :) I don't know where the build files are located but for a full distrib we need:

• hl binary (.exe in windows)
• libhl (.so or .dll depending on target)
• *.hdll files
• we might want to include some binaries on Windows so the package does not need any extra install (SDL2.dll, OpenAL32.dll -- openal soft version, vs_redist.x86.exe)
• sources necessary to build hl/C : hlc_main.c , hl.h, hlc.h (+.lib files on windows)

You can check my windows distribution here for an example

Do we have hashlink builds setup on AppVeyor for windows? It would be nice if we had a make release that would at least copy all the relevant files. But I'll take a look into this tonight

[RealyUniqueName]

What about hlsdl and friends? Should they also be in nightlies?

[ncannasse]

@waneck Appveyor is green, can we setup the nightly ? :)

[ncannasse]

@waneck up :)

[nadako]

Note that I did set up build artifacts on appveyor: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/HaxeFoundation/hashlink/build/498/job/ih1ilw6fkfaagmjq/artifacts

[ncannasse]

Ping again @andyli :)

[thomasjwebb]

This would be useful to have. I'm trying to add hashlink to a docker config so it would be better to have it download and install something than try to build it.

[thomasjwebb]

I ended up just having docker compile and install but in general it would be useful to have builds and ultimately packages.

I'm told that this can be closed now!
