The script will run Meson and create two .zip files, one for the portable version, and
another one for the Unix-like version. Lite XL can be easily installed by unpacking one
of these .zip archives in some directory of your choice.
The script will run Meson and create a zip file with the application or, for linux, a tar compressed archive.
Lite XL can be easily installed by unpacking the archive in any directory of your choice.
On Windows two packages will be created, one called "portable" using the "data" folder next to the executable and
the other one using a unix-like file layout. Both packages works correctly. The one with unix-like file layout
is meant for people using a unix-like shell and the command line.
Please note that there aren't any hard-coded directories in the executable, so that the
package can be extracted and used in any directory.
Note that the Unix-like package can also work on Windows.
Please note that while compiling Lite XL on macOS should work, macOS is not officially supported.
Mac OS X is fully supported and a notarized app disk image is provided in the release page.
In addition the application can be compiled using the generic
instructions given above.
