  • deb
  • rpm
• Support for third-party tools
  • vi
  • gedit
  • more!

The branching structure mimics that of scala/scala: master is the upcoming 2.11.0 release, and the 2.10.x branch is your target for 2.10.x features -- we'll keep merging into master as long as feasible.

Build Setup

This build requires a scala distrbution build from the scala/scala project. Here's how to obtain one and tell this build about it:

• scala/scala must be in the user home directory
• Please run ant dist-opt in in the scala/scala project.
• zip the <scala/scala>/dist/latest directory into a file called scala-dist.zip
• Copy scala-dist.zip into <scala/scala-dist>/target/tmp/scala-dist.zip
• Start sbt in the <scala/scala-dist> directory.
• Run one of the build commands.

Here's a few things to build:

• examples/compile - Compiles the examples
• scala-installer/windows:package-msi - Builds the windows MSI. Requires WIX 3.6 installed
• scala-installer/debian:package-bin - Builds the debian DEB file. Requires dpkg-deb
• scala-installer/rpm:package-bin - Builds the yum RPM file. requires rpm
• scala-installer/universal:package-bin - Builds the universal zip installer
• scala-installer/universal-docs:package-bin - Builds the universal documentation zip
