Building and Using CoApp Packages

Note: still need to figure out how to include two attachments needed for this procedure

It should be noted that these instructions, while functional, are STRICTLY preliminary and will almost certainly be changing in the near future. Also, these instruction describe how to build the SDL package. Other packages can be built similarly.

• Install WIX if it is not already installed: http://wix.codeplex.com/releases/view/60102#DownloadId=204417
  
• Download and build the complete set CoApp tools (both client and dev).
  
• Download/clone the SDL package repository (coapp-packages/SDL).
  
• Download both attachments and place them in the \COPKG\ subdirectory of SDL.
  
• Open a command prompt and navigate to the root of the SDL package (eg. If you cloned SDL to C:\SDL, that’s where you want to be).
  
• For the following commands, means the location of the compiled binaries for the CoApp toolkit. (eg. C:\CoApp\output\any\debug\bin )
  
• Run:

                \ptk.exe build
                \autopackage.exe --load=.\COPKG\sdl32.autopkg --autosign

• You should now have SDL-1.3.0.0-x86.msi in the current directory.
  
• This can be installed and uninstalled with the following commands:

Install:                   \coapp.exe install .\SDL-1.3.0.0-x86.msi
Uninstall:             \coapp.exe remove SDL
