Hi,

I'm trying out a buckminster build for our server-side products. For
this I created a site-feature and am using the site.p2 action to build a
p2 site. Everything is more or less working except for the platform
specific stuff: My product configuration contains some special
properties and specifies start levels but these settings are not there
when I install the product from the site.

To be more specific:
1. I launched site.p2 with the settings target.os=*, target.ws=* and
target.arch=* because we have no platform dependent code. With these
settings I'm getting the messages (for all platforms except my own):
....
Missing executable launcher for configuration win32.win32.x86_64
Missing executable launcher for configuration wpf.win32.x86
Perhaps you should install the Platform Executable Launchers feature
into your target platform

The generated site contains my special configuration properties but only
with a filter for my platform. I would like to see the configuration
without any filter.

2. I tried to invoke site.p2 without any target.* properties. In this
case it seems that it builds for my running platform (ie the
configuration artifacts are available only for my platform).

What should I set in the build to make sure the configuration artifacts
are available on all platforms?

Why is site.p2 complaining about missing executable launchers? In the
product configuration I have include native launchers set to false.

What do I have to set in the director call when installing a platform
agnostic product?

Thanks
Peter

After a few experiments I think that it is not possible to create a
build without native launcher artifacts. This is not really a problem
because these artifacts do no harm. What I did was this: Add the
org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature to the site, create the site.p2
with target.os=* (ws=*,arch=*).

When installing with the director one can choose any setting for p2.os,
p2.ws and arch. Which one doesn't really matter (because there is no
platform specific code) but it must be a valid configuration. Certainly,
it makes sense to use the actual configuration for the target box.

target.os=*, target.ws=*, target.arch=* and be sure to include the
org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature in the site or in a cspex.

I think buckminster just ignores this setting.

Use a correct setting for the p2.os,p2.ws,p2.arch triple. Otherwise the
config.ini costumization are not installed.
