With the newer versions of Cocos2d-x and Cocos2d-JS the Cocos Console will be more mandatory than ever.

Let’s learn how to compile using the Cocos Console.

-p is the platform [mac, ios, web, android, win32]
-m is the mode [debug, release] (this is optional and if ommitted the mode is set to debug)
-s is the project directory (can be ommitted if you cd to the project directory first)
-o is the output directory (can be ommitted if you cd to the project directory first)

cocos compile -s /Users/sonarsystems/Desktop/Game1 -p mac -m release -o /Users/sonarsystems/Desktop/Output

cocos compile -p mac -m release

Quiet - reduces output to the console
---------------------------------------------------
cocos compile -q -s /Users/sonarsystems/Desktop/Game1 -p mac -m release -o /Users/sonarsystems/Desktop/Output

cocos compile -q -p mac -m release
