Setting up your build tree for packaging
When TeamConnection builds an application, the application’s build tree identifies the
parts to be built and the tools to use in building it. Similarly, when you use
TeamConnection for packaging the application, the build tree can define the parts to be
packaged and the tools to do it.
The output of a packaging step might be any of the following:
v The application’s parts gathered into a new directory structure
v The distribution of the application using NVBridge
v The distribution of the application using some other distribution tool
Setting up a build tree for the gather tool
To gather the parts of your application into a single directory for distribution, you create
an output part whose builder calls the gather tool, and you make this output part the top
level of the build tree.
For example, for the robot control application, robot.app, the build tree might look in
part like this:
After the application is built, the programming team needs to get it to the test team.
They could extract the application, but doing a simple extract would preserve the
