Hi, I am trying to build a compose multiplatform desktop project for linux. The gradle task succeeds, but no .deb file is generated anywhere. If I do the same for MacOS, it works fine. Did anyone experienced anything similar.

I'm using TargetFormat._Deb_ and the command being :myapp:packageReleaseDeb

Thanks

[Michael Paus]

./gradlew packageReleaseDeb

works for me and the result should be located in

desktopApp/build/compose/binaries/main-release/deb

These lines where taken directly from my working GitHub action config .yml file.

Thanks for your message Michael. That is where I was checking but unfortunately deb directory wan't created. dmg directory was created if I run packageReleaseDmg task

Just to rule out, are you using Linux for development or MacOS?

[Michael Paus]

I am using macOS for development but the above fragments are from the GitHub action for Linux of course. Running packageReleaseDeb is only supported on a Linux machine. You cannot cross build.

I suspected that but wasn't sure. Thanks for the information.

Looks like you can also use Conveyor https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/blob/master/tutorials/Native_distributions_and_local_execution/packaging-tools-comparison.md
