GNU Windows

GNU Windows is a suite of development kits for Windows, including the tools mentioned above. It is used to build @TheFlightSims application binaries from sources.

All exclusive documents, you can try to search for yourself over the Internet.

⚠️ Warning

GNU Windows only supports the 64-bit Windows operating system. Run best on Windows 10 1903 and later.

Getting started

Building GNU Windows

Building within Docker

You must run the pre-defined Docker image, mount your cloned GitHub repo, and build from that.

Replace <your path> with your real path to the local repo. Double-quote is needed if there are spaces in your path.

docker run -it -v <your path>:/root theflightsims/gnu-windows-build:latest bash

Once you're in the bash, try this command:

/root/.gnu-windows/build.sh

Once it's done, you'll see your GNU application is building in folder .gnu-windows\bootstrap

Building within Linux

Make sure you've installed all of these packages before building GNU Windows

Run the <your path>/.gnu-windows/build.sh directly, without changing the current console directory. Don't forget to use chmod command.
