3. Click the Eclipse Product export wizard link in the Export section
4. change the Root Directory to udig
5. Ensure that Synchronize before exporting IS checked
6. Enter a directory or archive file.

   • For example: C:\udig-1.1-RC14.zip
7. Please make sure Export for multiple platforms is checked
8. Click the Next button
9. Select the following available platforms:
   • linux (gtk/x86)
   • linux (gtk/x86_64)
