Builds on Linux use a containerised environment created using the [Dockerfile](https://github.com/eidetic-av/pointcaster/blob/qt/Dockerfile) in the root of the repository. This handles download, installation and configuration of all dependencies.

The Pointcaster AppImage can be built using Docker or Podman from the repository root like so:
12
```sh
13
docker build -t pointcaster .
14
docker run --rm -it -v ./:/pointcaster:Z -w/pointcaster pointcaster ./scripts/build-linux-release.sh
15
```
16
17
The `docker run` command arguments ensure that the repository is mounted inside the container and set as the working directory.
18
19
For a development shell, invoke `bash` or `fish`, where you can configure and build using `cmake`:
20
```
21
docker run --rm -it -v ./:/pointcaster:Z -w/pointcaster pointcaster bash
22
# then inside the dev shell:
23
> cmake --preset linux-release
24
> cmake --build build/linux-release --target install
25
```
26
27
This places a portable build at `build/linux-release/install/bin/pointcaster` which can be run outside the container.
