Getting Started with Marmalade - Marmalade SDK Mobile Game Development Essentials - page 19

2. The program will first ask us to select the build type we wish to deploy and
will have a number of radio buttons for the types available. Only those build
types that are currently built will be selectable. In our case, we need to select
the ARM GCC Release radio button and then click on the button labeled
Next Stage > , to proceed to the next step.
3. The next page asks us to select a deployment configuration. We can specify
the directory where we want our deployed package files to be created,
and we also have a list of checkboxed items for the available deployment
configurations that we can choose from. Marmalade allows us to create
different configurations, which means we can deploy different resource
packages to different devices. For now we won't concern ourselves with any
of this, so just ensure that the Default setting is checked and then click on the
Next Stage > button again.

4. We are now presented with a page listing all the device types that we can

deploy to. Use the checkboxes to select which platforms to deploy to, and
then click on Next Stage > once more to be taken to the final page.

5. At the top of this last page, we can see a brief description of the different

deployment types we are about to make, with drop-down boxes for each, to
specify whether we should just generate the necessary package files, ignore
that build type completely, or optionally install and run the package as well.

The Package and Install options available in the Marmalade
System Configuration Tool often rely on your system being set up
with extra third-party software that isn't automatically installed as
part of the Marmalade SDK. For this reason in this topic, we will
generally keep to using the Package option and install and run our
deployment packages using manual methods.

6. Now that we have configured the type of deployment we want, just press the
Deploy All button and Marmalade will make packages for all the different
targets we selected.

The default location for the deployment packages is within the Marmalade Build
directory. If you use Windows Explorer to look into this directory, you will see that a
new directory called deployments has been created. In turn, this directory contains a
folder called default , which comes from the deployment configuration we used.

It is possible to open Windows Explorer to the deployment folder
by clicking on the Explore… button on the final page of the
deployment utility.
