The files that are in Building/Linux are for creating an installable package, and assume
|
|
|
|
|
you have already compiled and linked OSCAR using qmake and make, or QtCreator.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The packages, once built, can be installed using 'dpkg i' or 'gdebi' - with either su or sudo. If you use
|
|
|
|
|
sudo, you will get a desktop icon installed, which must be double-clicked and trusted to see the actual icon.

The packaged file cannot be installed using apt-get, or aptitude, because those programs
|
|
|
|
|
install from the distribution repository, but not a plain package file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The package can be installed with apt or apt -F if the file name is preceded by ./ to force filename recognition.

The fpm program used in the mkXxxx scripts can be found at https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intro.html

Read the installation notes there, installation is sort of convoluted, then once it is installed type 'fpm -help' to see all the options.

The code to put a desktop icon in the Desktop folder, regardless of language, was contributed by UnToutSeul05.

Getting a menu item istalled is largely due to the efforts of CrimsonNape.

The mkDebian9.sh and mkUbuntu.sh scripts have been consolidated into mkDistDeb.sh and are now depreciated and will be removed. mkDistDeb.sh
|
|
|
|
|
has code to query which packages are available for certail libraries.
