CMake: Add UNIX install target #131
Conversation
|
I'm not very well-versed with CMake and particularly not with Windows or OSX development so this PR might reflect that. The reason I started looking at this was to be able to build MagicSetEditor as a Flatpak so that my friend that makes custom sets can install it on his Linux machine. He's currently running a Windows VM just for MSE. :P. I could of course work around this by copying the files to the right paths inside the Flatpak manifest but adding an installation target seemed like the correct way to go about it since it would also make it easier to build and install to say There are a couple things I'd like input on here:

Also: if you'd like to have a chat regarding Flatpak and what I'm planning there we could perhaps schedule a call on https://meet.jit.si/ for example or some text chat app. The current state is that I'm able to clone and build directly from GNOME Builder without any extra steps from my work-in-progress |
- Change from quad-backticks to triple backticks - Escape underscores (they are for making text italic) - Add commandline prefix to all commands (to better visualize that this is run from the command line) - Add shell highlighting
This should work the same way.
This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone but might as well add it to the instructions.
I had to install the libboost-regex-dev package on Ubuntu 20.04 to build there.
This is apparently how one defines the build directory path using CMake. From `cmake --help`: ... -B <path-to-build> = Explicitly specify a build directory. ...
Add installation target for UNIX systems. This defaults to install under /usr/local/bin/ and /usr/local/share/magicseteditor/ but is configurable through the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable.
Add installation instructions to the build instructions.

I tried to build using the new instructions in an Ubuntu 20.04 VM (I'm personally on Fedora 33) to test that stuff works on a regular build. This made me add some instructions to the README but unfortunately the build failed (something about hashmaps, not sure, will have to check further). Note: if you prefer to skip the README fixes and additions I can easily just throw them away or put them up in a separate PR. |
