# Building Pointcaster

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. Binary dependencies are provided by the container image setup and source-based dependencies are built using vcpkg.

7
The Pointcaster AppImage can be built using Docker or Podman from the repository root like so:
8
```sh
9
docker build -t pointcaster .
10
docker run --rm -it -v ./:/pointcaster:Z -w/pointcaster pointcaster ./scripts/build-linux-release.sh
11
```
12
13
The `docker run` command arguments ensure that the repository is mounted inside the container and set as the working directory.
14
15
For a development shell, invoke `bash` or `fish`, where you can configure and build using `cmake`:
16
```
17
docker run --rm -it -v ./:/pointcaster:Z -w/pointcaster pointcaster bash
18
# then inside the dev shell:
19
> cmake --preset linux-release
20
> cmake --build build/linux-release --target install
21
```
22
23
This places a portable build at `build/linux-release/install/bin/pointcaster` which can be run outside the container.
