How can I build a tarball of a project?

[faern]

I want to release my project. I want it packed in a tarball with a configure script and so on, so I can execute 'configure && make && make install' on it.
Is it possible to build such packages from code::blocks? I used to do it in anjuta, it was in a menu called Build -> Build Distribution

The packaging part, yes, you can do it easily from within C::B in more than one ways.
But if you want C::B to auto-generate the autotools magic files for you, you 're out of luck .

Hi. Since this is exactly the same question I have for now... have there been any updates on utilities/plugins/scripts (even if they're third-party) to make config-make'able  tarballs for our projects?

I need to make my current C::B project easily-compilable for beta-testers. Any info?

Thanks!

The cbMakefileGen plugin from kisoft might be usable for you.
