Introduction

This repository is providing several tools needed to build LXQt itself as well as other components maintained by the LXQt project to ease dependency management.

Installation

Compiling sources

To build only CMake and Qt6Core are needed, optionally Git to pull VCS checkouts. Runtime dependencies do not exist.

Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX has to be set to /usr on most operating systems.

To build run make, to install make install which accepts variable DESTDIR as usual. (Strictly speaking make isn't even needed right now. On the other hand it doesn't hurt so packagers may just include it in case it'll be needed one day.)

Packagers

This package is arch-independent now. You can simply package it as BuildArch: noarch (rpm) or arch: all (deb).
