Building Packages
Documentation of how to build packages for various platforms.
Contents
1. .deb-based distros
Use Docker, and run make docker-{debian,ubuntu}-$RELEASE eg make docker-debian-buster or make docker-ubuntu-xenial. If a release codename is missing you may need to edit (and preferably send us a patch) Makefile to add the new release.
2. .rpm-based distros
Use docker, and run make docker-fedoraN or make docker-centosN as appropriate for your release, eg make docker-fedora30 or make docker-centos8. As with debian distros, please feel encouraged to add missing releases as needed to the Makefile.
3. macOS
Requires a Mac with Xcode installed. Run make osx and an installer package will be built.
4. Windows
Windows builds BuildingWindowsInstaller.
