Description Karl Ostmo

Build Identifier: 

In my build.properties file, I specify one configuration:
configs=linux, gtk, x86_64

By default, the end result is a zip file that contains the built application.

I would rather have an unzipped application directory as the end result, so I specify:
archivesFormat=linux, gtk, x86_64 - folder

However, this produces no application in the output directory where the zip file is normally found.

The only contents of the output directory is a subdirectory called "compilelogs".

Reproducible: Always

I found at least one other mention of trouble with the "folder" archivesFormat specifier, though the trouble was with having multiple configs.

Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.
