This folder contains code to automate the process of building calibre, including all its dependencies, from scratch, for all platforms that calibre supports.
In general builds proceed in two steps, first build all the dependencies, then build the calibre installer itself.
Building must run on a Linux computer.
First create some empty top level directory and run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/kovidgoyal/bypy.git git clone https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre.git cd calibre
Now we need to bootstrap calibre, for which all its Linux build dependencies must have already been installed (see the Dependencies section of the Linux installation page for details). Once the dependencies are installed, run:
./setup.py bootstrap
All building is done inside QEMU VMs. Linux VMs are auto-created as needed, Windows and macOS VMs must be created manually. Instructions on creating the VMs are in the bypy repo under :file:`virtual_machine/README.rst`. Required software for the VMs are listed in :file:`bypy/windows.conf` and :file:`bypy/macos.conf`.
To build the Intel and ARM dependencies for calibre, run:
./setup.py build_dep linux ./setup.py build_dep linux-arm64
The output (after a very long time) will be in bypy/b/linux/[32|64]
Now you can build the calibre Linux tarballs with:
./setup.py linux
The output will be in :file:`dist`
Name the QEMU VM using vm_name
from bypy/macos.conf
.
Make sure all software mentioned in :file:`bypy/macos.conf` is installed.
To build the dependencies for calibre, run:
./setup.py build_dep macos
The output (after a very long time) will be in bypy/b/macos
.
Now you can build the calibre .dmg
with:
./setup.py osx --dont-sign --dont-notarize
The output will be in :file:`dist`
Name the QEMU VM using vm_name
from :file:`bypy/windows.conf`.
Make sure all software mentioned in :file:`bypy/windows.conf` is installed.
To build the dependencies for calibre, run:
./setup.py build_dep windows
The output (after a very long time) will be in bypy/b/windows/64
.
Now you can build the calibre windows installers with:
./setup.py win64 --dont-sign
The output will be in :file:`dist`
