Building the miner binaries

MacOS

cmake .. -DWITH_AEON=OFF -DWITH_HTTPD=OFF -DWITH_TLS=OFF

Changes to Electron

Increment the version number found in package.json to make a new release.

Create a BailBloc binary

npm run buildall

or

electron-builder --mac #or --windows or --linux

This will package up the app and stick it in the dist folder.

Publish to GitHub

First generate a GitHub access token by going to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new.

The access token should have the repo scope/permission. Once you have the token, assign it to an environment variable (on macOS/linux):

export GH_TOKEN="<YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>"

Then run:

npm run publish

This will create a draft of a github release at https://github.com/thenewinquiry/bailbloc/releases. Edit the draft to make the release public.
