Hi! I've got a simple app that uses compose desktop. I'm trying to

./gradlew packageDeb

from a macOS in order to later deploy it on a raspberry pi. I've asked @theapache64 but seems like packaging needs to be done on the same platform. Does anybody know a workaround?

Spin up ubuntu vm or pack it inside a docker image

If the code is hosted on github I believe you can also use github actions to package for various platforms as well.

I am using GitHub action in my project. Here’s the yml file

Thankyou for this info! That's a few very handy tips. I'll look into the GitHub options for myself.

@theapache64 Just a question. Why do you still use Java 15 and not the latest? Jpackage has seen many bug fixes since then.

@Michael Paus I think i had some issue with anything 15+ (that was like 6 months ago). 15 just works fine for me now. but I’ll take a look at the latest version. Thanks for noticing

Just an additional warning. In order to be able to use Java 17.0.2 (the current latest) you also have to update Gradle to the latest version (7.3.3) in the gradle-wrapper.properties file. I have to do that each time when I create a new project because the IntelliJ templates are always outdated.

Ack. Thanks. Just to confirm, CfD works with Java17 without any trouble for you? Were you able to run the binary executable (

deb/jar

) in any linux distros (Ubuntu?) ? I think that was the problem i was facing. I still don’t remember the exact reason why i fall backed to 15

I have no idea about Linux. I work on a Mac.

Okay, no problem. I’ll take a look
