BUILDING THE SOURCE TAR-BALL AND ZIP-FILE
BUILDING THE SOURCE TAR-BALL AND THE RPM If you want to distribute panda sources, it is convenient to package
them up into a tar-ball or a zip-file. There is a utility to do this
If you are using Linux and you want to build an RPM, it is fairly easy in the makepanda directory. You will need to give your version of

give your version of panda a version number. The version number can
be any three integers separated by dots.
makepanda/maketarball.py 58.23.95 makepanda/maketarball.py 58.23.95
This builds panda3d-58.23.95.tar.gz and panda3d-58.23.95.zip. Once This will create both the tar-ball and the zip-file. The version
you have the tar-ball, it is easy to turn it into a binary RPM: number will be hardcoded into both.
BUILDING A LINUX RPM PACKAGE
To build an RPM, first you need the tar-ball. Once you have the
tar-ball, the command to turn it into a binary RPM is as follows:
rpmbuild -tb panda3d-58.23.95.tar.gz rpmbuild -tb panda3d-58.23.95.tar.gz
Before you use rpmbuild, you need to set up an RPM workspace. Doing Before you use rpmbuild, you need to set up an RPM workspace. Doing

BUILDING A WINDOWS INSTALLER
Under Windows, makepanda can create an executable installer. All you
need to do is pass the --installer option to makepanda. The makepanda
option --lzma will cause the installer to be compressed with LZMA
compression, which is better, but it takes a long time to do the
compression.
BUILDING A LINUX DEB PACKAGE
Under Linux, passing the --installer option to makepanda will
cause makepanda to try to build a deb package. For this to work,
you have to be using a Linux distribution that includes the deb
utilities.
