Building McStas McXtrace

For non-conda platforms we provide a set of bash build-scripts. These platforms include:

• debian packages (as those provided via mccode.org)
• “Monolithic” Windows cross-compiled builds - use Ubuntu and the mingw-gcc compiler

Steps for use of the legacy buildscripts:

• Check out a working copy of our git repo at https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode.
• Use the dependency-scripts/getdeps_ scripts for a good guess at required build dependencies
• Use one of the top-level build scripts to start a build, such as

./buildscripts/build_macos_mcstas <version> [extra]

• <version> should be a lower-case versioning label, such as 2.6beta

• [extra] is an optional flag for the the different build scripts, used in slightly different ways depending on platform, but generally associated with generation of 'meta-packages'

Output from the build scripts will always go to the dist/ folder
