Packaging Marble

Here is some advice about how packaging is supposed to happen on the mac platform.

Qt-Only

Configure Marble with:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DWITH_KF5=FALSE -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Applications/ ../marble

Warning

These are the outdated instructions for the now unmaintained Qt4-based version of Marble. Please consider contributing and updating these instructions to the Qt5-based version.

It uses the macdeployqt tool which copies Qt and its plugins into the App Bundle. macdeployqt also tells the main application to link against the libs contained in the bundle, instead of the system libs. This does not happen to the libmarblewidget and the Marble plugins, so it has to be done by the script. The script also sets a background Image for the dmg. (Place it at ~/Desktop/marble-dmg-background.png or change the path in the script)

After that you should have Marble-version.dmg on you Desktop.
