Other operations

5.3.1. Creating a distribution package

To build a tarball distribution of the project choose Build ▸ Build Tarball. This will create a tarball (*.tar.gz) and put it in the top-level project directory. Copy the file to a safe place for distribution.

5.3.2. Installing a project

Choosing the menu item Build ▸ Install will install the generated application on your system.

System-wide installation

You must be logged in as root to perform a system-wide install. Also note that for a GNOME application to use the pixmaps in the project, it must be installed as a system-wide application. Otherwise, when the application is executed in your project, there will be lots of "pixmap not found" errors. You can configure Anjuta to use sudo or su before installing the project in the build preferences.

5.3.3. Cleaning

This deletes all of the files generated by the build process, including all object files (*.o files) and the executable(s). It can be applied on one directory or the whole project.

Choose the menu item Build ▸ Clean Project to clean all project files.

Choose the menu item Build ▸ Clean to clean only the directory of the current active file.
