[Fedora] Build fails Xcopy command not found

[bosd]

Describe the bug
Unable to build on Fedora Linux. Xcopy command not found.
The xcopy command is windows specific.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone the Repo
2. cd Deepnest
3. sudo dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
4. sudo dnf install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
5. npm install
6. npm run build

Expected behavior
Deepnest is able to build. (I know other platforms then windows are not yet supported)

Screenshots

[bosd@fedora Deepnest]$ npm run build

> deepnest@1.1.4 build
> mkdir minkowski >nul 2>&1|echo .>nul && mkdir minkowski/Release >nul 2>&1|echo .>nul && ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild && npm run copy

✔ Rebuild Complete

> deepnest@1.1.4 copy
> xcopy /s /y .\build\Release .\minkowski\Release

sh: line 1: xcopy: command not found

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Fedora 38
• Deepnest 1.1.4
• npm 8.19.2

Additional context
Propably better to use some form of platform independent copy method.

[bosd]

xcopy seems Windows dependent.
CP seems Unix dependent.

Maybe it is possible to implement fs.copy.
To be platform independent.

yes, this is correct. xcopy is a windows based command. If you're using .ps1, .bat, .cmd file, know that that is a dedicated Windows script.

@bosd The build is currently only validated on Windows.

Maybe not the highest priority to make the build script platform independent.
I've had succes building it on linux (fedora 38) with my the linux version of the script in my fork.

It is highly important that you do not "break" the development flow, we need to focus on this here:

As for solving the xcopy issue, it is trivial, e.g. via this:

(but no one should work on the electron 6 version, when a electron 12 version is available)
