[Glsdk-devel] GLSDK packaging

[H. H. <hen...@gm...>]

Some thoughts about GLSDK packaging:

- on Windows; we could distribute GLSDK as .zipped source package and a .msi
installer

- on Linux; as a source tarballs and debian packages

- on Mac OSX: ???

We could split the GLSDK into parts, like this:

- glsdk: the complete SDK, but without dev headers and dev docs
- glsdk-dev: development libraries and headers
- glsdk-doc: development documentation

Also, we could offer an opportunity for the user to just download our libs
as a separate packages:

- glsdk-glm
- glsdk-glm-dev
- glsdk-glm-doc
- glsdk-gls
- glsdk-gls-dev
- glsdk-gls-doc
...

In this way, we allow our libraries to be used in hobby games, demos etc.

Also, should we implement version numbering separate for the libs or just
one version number for the complete SDK?

I have a fair bit of experience with NSIS.  I'd be willing to create 
Windows .exe installers, and it probably wouldn't be too difficult to 
have the installer offer to set up the proper command line and Visual 
Studio paths.  (Maybe also an OSS IDE, like Code::Blocks?)

I know less about this, but it would be nice to maintain a Ubuntu 
package so that users could install the SDK straight through the package 
manager.  (It would also be a source of cross-advertising.) I'd be 
willing to look into that as well, but I don't have Linux at my office, 
so if I'm in charge of the Linux package it may lag behind the Windows 
installer.

Thank you for willingness to contribute. Packaging is not yet an issue, but
we will perhaps contact you when the time is right.

Paths for other IDEs besides MSVC is a good idea and we will probably have
that too.

I've got a big enough hard drive I can install several Linux
distributions to build packages with, if necessary.
