Build

cd fm2_workspace\trunk (i.e. top directory of the FM/2 source)

set DEBUG=

run wmake -a or wmake all

Test

Test the binaries; at a minimum you should run all the exes and do some basic file manipulation with each. You should, where possible, also verify that any bugs that were fixed for the release are working as expected.

Lxlite

run wmake lxlite to compress exe/dlls

re-test...

Build distros

run wmake dist (see Building FM/2 WarpIN installation files for more information)

Zip the distribution FM2*.wpi and add the FM2utilities wpi package if desired.

(We are not routinely making source distributions since the source is available from netlabs)
