Rule of engagement

⭐ The rules of engagement are:

  1. Use Docker

    Section titled “Use Docker”
    • Docker is the recommended method to build using the script.
    • This will avoid many potential issues and conflicts with the host system, especially with Qt.

  2. Use Alpine

    Section titled “Use Alpine”
    • It is the main supported system and Debian is testing and fallback.
    • You do not need to build on an older host to use these binaries there.

  3. Privileges

    Section titled “Privileges”
    • sudo - root are not required to run the script.
    • They are required to install the core dependencies if they are missing

  4. Additional flags and switches

    Section titled “Additional flags and switches”
    • can add dependencies on demand that will need to be installed.
    • like -c for cmake and -cd for cache dependencies.
    • the script will require you to install these on demand.
    • Using .qbt_env or setting variables before running the script will do this automatically.

  5. Passing no arguments

    Section titled “Passing no arguments”
    • qbt-nox-static.bash - will make no changes and instead provide information on what you need to do.
    • qbt-nox-static.bash - will automatically install the required dependencies and configure the build environment.

  6. Nothing is built until…

    Section titled “Nothing is built until…”
    • you provide the all or a specific module name as a positional parameter to the script.
    • applies to both qbt-nox-static.bash and qbt-nox-static.bash

  7. Use the help.

    Section titled “Use the help.”
    • Use bash ~/qbt-nox-static.bash -h to see the help.
    • applies to both qbt-nox-static.bash and qbt-nox-static.bash

  8. fork the repo

    Section titled “fork the repo”
    • build on Github using Github Actions to create your own custom releases.
    • The easiest way to get custom builds for your needs.
