Yes, BitRock InstallBuilder has a command line interface that allows
you to automate and integrate installer creation with your own build process. If you want to
build installers from the command line for different platforms, use:
path/to/installbuilder/bin/builder build /path/to/project.xml
You can specify the target platform to build the installer
for. This allows you to generate installers for all platforms from a
single build environment. For example, you can generate a Windows
installer while running on Linux with the following command line:
path/to/installbuilder/bin/builder build project.xml windows
You can specify any of the following values for platform:
linux, windows, osx, solaris-sparc, solaris-intel, linux-x64, linux-ia64, linux-ppc, linux-s390,
freebsd5, freebsd6, freebsd, freebsd4, openbsd3, hpux, aix, irix-n32, and cdrom.
If you are running on OS X you will need to do something like the following:
path/to/installbuilder/bin/Builder.app/Contents/MacOS/installbuilder.sh build project.xml windows
