[4.0 Beta 3.x] - Built Linux IDE - How To Build Export Templates?

JeZxLee

Hi,

I built Godot v4 Beta 3.x from source on Linux right now.
How do I build the export templates?

Tried to follow below but it is confusing:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/development/compiling/compiling_for_linuxbsd.html#building-export-templates

Let me know(I am on Linux Mint 21).

I have the following files:
"godot.linuxbsd.template_release.x86_64"
"godot.linuxbsd.template_debug.x86_64"
(how to convert to "*.tpz" files?)

Thanks!

Jesse

I don't understand below step to create export templates on Linux:

and named like this (even for *BSD which is seen as "Linux/X11" by Godot):

linux_x11_32_debug
linux_x11_32_release
linux_x11_64_debug
linux_x11_64_release

I think you just set those files in this menu. You don't create a tpz file.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I managed to build Linux export template for Godot v4 Beta 3.x Linux IDE.

How do I build "HTML5" and "Windows Desktop" export templates on Linux?

It's this line:

scons platform=linuxbsd

See this page for how it works.

Hi,

Thanks for the help.

When I type:

"jlp@jlp-desktop-megatron:~/Desktop/Godot4-Beta_3.5/godot$ scons platform=list
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
The following platforms are available:

	linuxbsd

Please run SCons again and select a valid platform: platform=<string>
jlp@jlp-desktop-megatron:~/Desktop/Godot4-Beta_3.5/godot$

I only see Linux available?
How to get "windows" and "javascript" ?

Thanks!

Hi,

Ok, have "windows" listed now but when try to make Windows export template nothing is made in /bin ?

jlp@jlp-desktop-megatron:~/Desktop/Godot4-Beta_3.5/godot$ scons platform=windows tools=no target=template_release bits=64
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

The error message it give you might be relevant.

jlp@jlp-desktop-megatron:~/Desktop/Godot4-Beta_3.5/godot$ update-alternatives --config X86_64-w64-mingw32-[gcc|g++]

I thought mingw was for Windows. Why are you running it on Linux?

JeZxLee

Nevermind, got everything working, thanks!
