Packaging for windows and linux fail if mac build exists

[andrewjaykeller]

Overview of the Issue

The first thing I tested was building for Mac OS with

make mac-64

which created a working dmg application!!

Now I am going to try getting it to run on windows.

$ make windows-64
rm -rf build/win64
electron-packager . app --platform=win32 --arch=x64 --version=0.28.3 --out=build/win64
(node:84759) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.

make: *** [windows-64] Error 1

Very strange that it seeks out mac stuff for building for windows.

First thing i'm going to try is removing the mac dist I had created before.

Now going to call to make all the apps and see if I can get a windows build.

$ make apps

make: *** [linux] Error 1

Good news:
A windows app was built and it runs on windows.

Bad news:
Linux failed after mac build! Now time to try and build a linux app with the mac app deleted.
One potential problem with the windows file is the long file path names, especially when you dive deep into some of these node modules. This might be fixed with the flatening that Node 6 does.

Ok so I deleted the mac64 folder and am keeping the win32 and win64 folders.

As expected, that worked:

$ make linux
rm -rf build/linux32
electron-packager . app --platform=linux --arch=ia32 --version=0.28.3 --out=build/linux32
(node:88992) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.

Motivation for or Use Case

• Be able to build apps for win32, win64, linux32 and linux64 without having to remove the already built mac app.
• Running the command make apps should not fail

Operating Systems

Mac OSX 10.11

Reproduce the Error

Please see "Overview of the Issue" above for detailed steps to reproduce

Suggest a fix

Temporary work around is:
Move the mac to the bottom of the Makefile and run make clean-apps prior to make apps to ensure the mac build is not there.
