Compose TAR-GZ file

This part of the program helps you to create the source package of your installation package in form of a gzipped tar-archiv. It is not necessary to use this tool, but it can be helpfull to put together the right parts of your program that are to be installed. At first you should set the name of the TAR-GZ file to be created in the line at the top of the window. The right part of the window contains the directories on your computersystem while the left part shows the contents of the TAR-GZ file that will be created.

Add a file or a directory

To add a file or a directory to your package you have to chose it in the right directory tree. Then, you select the destination position in the left directory tree. Note that you have to chose a directory as destination. Otherwise, the file or the directory will be added to the base directory of your package. After your selection is complete (please select only ONE file or ONE directory in every tree), you have to press the arrows that point from right to left ("<<").

Delete a file or a directory from your package

To delete a file or a directory from you package, you have to select it in the left directory tree. Then you press the arrows that point from left to right (">>") or the cross located at the upper right corner of the left directory tree. Attention: Don't delete the base directory of your package!

Create a new directory

Sometimes it might be necessary to create a new directory in your package. Please chose the destination of the directory to be created just like you do when you add a file (see "Add a file..."). Then you press the blank page symbol at the upper right corner of the left directory tree and enter the name of the new directory.
