Channel packager

Is there any way to create a channel .pkg file on linux (without loading it into a roku) ?

Thanks.

Re: Channel packager

sure, you can create the package on Linux. You can't do anything with it once it is created, unless you have a Roku to load it onto. Generally speaking, you add

export ROKU_DEV_TARGET=192.168.1.64

(ip of your roku)

to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc depending on how your system is configured, then reload the environment:

source ~/.bash_profile

then cd into the top of your roku project:

cd simpleposter/

and type:

make install

which should create a zip file of your project in the zips folder of the Roku SDK, and also will push the zip to your roku.
