I would like to package a Java application into a .exe
file using launch4j.
My build server is a Linux based operating system. Is it possible to build the .exe
on a Linux machine?
Yes, it is possible. I have done it with Jenkins on a debian system. You might get some problems with missing libs. So you have to install them on your build server.
See: https://github.com/lukaszlenart/launch4j-maven-plugin#faq
Q: Can I use Launch4j on 64bit OS?
A: Yes but you will have to install these libs to avoid problems:
lib32z1
lib32ncurses5
lib32bz2-1.0 ( (has been ia32-libs in older Ubuntu versions)
zlib.i686
ncurses-libs.i686
bzip2-libs.i686
In my case for debian I've installed the following packages:
apt-get install zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev
apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5
