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, apt-get, or aptitude, because those programs
install from the distribution repository, but not a plan package file.
The scripts assume the following folder structure:
/home/username/OSCAR/
the packaging scripts
/home/username/OSCAR/build/
/home/username/OSCAR/OSCAR-code/
/home/username/OSCAR/OSCAR-code/oscar ...etc
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.
Finally, the mkRedHat.sh script has not been tested.
