Forums » Help » Can I bake manually?

Hello,
I'm having trouble with the bakethingy.
And i wonder if I just can't take impact.js and game.js and put them together in one file?
Then use something like YUI Compressor,
I tried it out and it works fine.

Or am I missing something?

What trouble are you having with bake?

found it easier to just compress it myself, tried doing the bake command on mac and struggled, same on pc.

The bake rebuild it more ?

In my windows installation I had to edit the bake.bat file.

I had to comment out
:: cd ../
:: php tools/bake.php %IMPACT_LIBRARY% %GAME% %OUTPUT_FILE%

and then uncomment
C:/xampp/php/php.exe bake.php %IMPACT_LIBRARY% %GAME% %OUTPUT_FILE%

I'm using the xampp install as you can see.

You might be having similar (but different) issues.

cool will check that out gxxaxx :-)
i have my stuff on a linux server.

So i ask one more time hopping for a respons.
Does the bake script compress anything else then impact.js and game.js?

you might want to try the private forum for baking questions ..... although if i could help i would!

Here a modified bake.bat file I use on Window 7 machine running wamp testing bake on pong demo.
Note full path and file name specified as well as relative path for bake.php

Not used PATH environment variable.

Happy baking!

What is your issue on OSX?

Go to tools folder in your games tools directory

type

./bake.sh

if it gives you error:

permission denied

type

chmod +x bake.sh

if that errors you make need to run as super user
so type

sudo chmod +x bake.sh

then enter your root password at prompt

run bake script again

./bake.sh

You should then see it build for you.

If you are trying to compile with PHP there is a slight error

Go to tools directory

type

php bake.php

It will out put:

Usage: bake.php <in...> <out>
e.g. bake.php lib/impact/impact.js lib/game/game.js mygame-baked.js

There is an issue there with directory paths you actually need to type:

bake.php ../<in...> ../<out>
e.g. bake.php ../lib/impact/impact.js ../lib/game/game.js mygame-baked.js
