| == Building on Linux with mxe == | ||

|
||
| With this approach you can build a windows binary on Linux using mxe MXE (M cross environment). | ||
| You can find the build script and a README file in the ms-windows/mxe directory. | ||

||
| For now, Python buildings cannot be built with mxe. | ||

| === Initial setup === | ||
| === Building with Docker === | ||
|
|
||
| This is the simplest way, but you need to have Docker installed | ||
| on your system. | ||
|
|
||
| You can use a Docker image to cross build QGIS by calling | ||
| the script ms-windows/mxe/build.sh from the root directory of QGIS repository. | ||
|
|
||
| === Building without Docker ==== | ||
|
|
||
| This requires to install mxe toolchain on your system and build | ||
| all dependencies by yourself. | ||
|
|
||
| ==== Initial setup ==== | ||
|
|
||
| Please follow the instructions on mxe website to setup your building toolchain http://mxe.cc/, | ||
| take note of the path where you have installed mxe. | ||
|

|
|
||
| Please see the README under ms-windows/mxe for a list of the dependencies that need to be | ||
| built in mxe before attempting to build QGIS. | ||
| Please see README.md under ms-windows/mxe for detailed instructions and for the | ||

||
| Edit the build-mxe.sh script and change the path where your mxe installation is located, you | ||
| can also change the build and release directory. | ||
| Edit the build-mxe.sh script and optionally adjust the path where your mxe installation is located, you | ||
| can also change the build and release directories. | ||

||
| === Testing QGIS === | ||
|
|
||
| Copy and unzip the release package on a Windows machine and launch it! | ||
| Copy and unzip on the Windows machine package produced by the build and launch the qgis binary: no installation | ||
| is required. |
