TideSDK packaging on mac for windows or linux

Question

I have read this

Building Win, Mac and Linux packages from one platform

and the answer said

A service platform is coming that will solve this issue to make development easier for everyone. We'll make announcements with this available.

So I think that is the TideSDK developer

But there is no option to build the app to other platform

Then I try to build it with cli but got some error

python "$path_to_sdk/tidebuilder.py" -p -n  -t network -d "packages/win32/network" -o "win32" "../my_project"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/tony/Library/Application Support/TideSDK/sdk/osx/1.3.1-beta/tidebuilder.py", line 141, in <module>
    environment = env.PackagingEnvironment(options.platform, packager, options.appstore)
  File "/Users/tony/Library/Application Support/TideSDK/sdk/osx/1.3.1-beta/env.py", line 63, in __init__
    self.init_normal_dirs(script_dir)
  File "/Users/tony/Library/Application Support/TideSDK/sdk/osx/1.3.1-beta/env.py", line 83, in init_normal_dirs
    p.join(os.environ['APPDATA'], 'TideSDK'),
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/UserDict.py", line 23, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'APPDATA'

I have copy the sdk of windows version in to my sdk path.

does anyone know how to do this?

thanks

The Service Platform described in above comment is the upcoming product TideKit (http://tidekit.com) It is a brand new product which is specifically designed with keeping interest of all developers in mind. Checkout the teaser video for TideKit at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE7gN-d0GhU The registrations of TideKit are starting soon.

Regarding your question from the log you have pasted you are trying to build a network installer. Currently only Bundled Installer (Package With Runtime) option is supported. You should be able to generate the installer using "Package with Runtime" option.
