sbtnatimage

This is a simple scala project mainly intended to exercise https://github.com/scalameta/sbt-native-image and along with GitHub Actions to create binary releases for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

The general setup here is rather adhoc, but it may still be useful to someone out there.

---

On your host machine:

  $ sbt

  > nativeImage

  > nativeImageRun
  my source location: /Users/carueda/github/mbari-org/sbtnatimage/out/sbtnatimage

  > ^D

  $ out/sbtnatimage
  my source location: /Users/carueda/github/mbari-org/sbtnatimage/out/sbtnatimage

Release workflow: .github/workflows/native.yml

Some notes:

• Tip: Consider adding UPX into the workflow.

• The linux executable will be statically linked. Just remove the --static option for a dynamically linked one. (Or, create both artifacts depending on your needs, etc.)

• The macOS executable won't be signed; so, upon downloading it, the user will need to do something like the following to be able to run it:

    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine sbtnatimage
  

• Windows executable untested.
