Building from Source

Building from Source

Prerequisites

• .NET SDK 10.0.301 (pinned by global.json)
• Git
• Optional: PowerShell 7 for packaging/soak scripts
• Optional: Python 3.12+ for the documentation site
• Optional: a legally obtained BIOS/disc corpus for real-content tests

Build and test

git clone https://github.com/purelogiccode/5DO.git
cd 5DO
dotnet build 5DO.sln -c Release
dotnet test 5DO.sln -c Release
dotnet format 5DO.sln --verify-no-changes

Publish

The release layout is one bundle per system, containing both apps and a shared private runtime. Publish the two apphosts as framework-dependent single files:

$rid = 'win-x64'

dotnet publish src/FiveDo.Cli/FiveDo.Cli.csproj -c Release -r $rid `
  --self-contained false -p:PublishSingleFile=true -p:PublishTrimmed=false `
  -p:AppHostRelativeDotNet=runtime -m:1 -o "artifacts/bundle/$rid/cli"

dotnet publish src/FiveDo.Frontend.Avalonia/FiveDo.Frontend.Avalonia.csproj `
  -c Release -r $rid --self-contained false -p:PublishSingleFile=true `
  -p:PublishTrimmed=false -p:AppHostRelativeDotNet=runtime -m:1 `
  -o "artifacts/bundle/$rid/frontend"

pwsh -NoProfile -File packaging/package-bundle.ps1 `
  -Rid $rid `
  -CliPublishDirectory "artifacts/bundle/$rid/cli" `
  -FrontendPublishDirectory "artifacts/bundle/$rid/frontend" `
  -OutputDirectory "artifacts/bundles"

The script stages one private .NET 10 runtime, copies the README/license/notices/ whatsnew/release notes, and writes PACKAGE.txt and SHA256SUMS.txt.

Optional NativeAOT CLI:

dotnet publish src/FiveDo.Cli/FiveDo.Cli.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 `
  --self-contained true -p:FiveDoNativeAot=true -p:PublishSingleFile=true

CI builds 5do-win-x64.zip, 5do-linux-x64.tar.gz, and 5do-osx-x64.tar.gz and publishes them to the GitHub release.
