Building

• Install Docker
• Run this command on cloned repository:

docker run -v $PWD:/code iqqmut/meeting-countdown-builder

The command mounts current directory and builds the app inside Docker container and if everything works, you should find bin/meeting-countdown.exe. Required libraries are statically linked so no external DLL files are needed to run the application. Docker image uses Mingw-w64 to cross compile the application to be run on Windows.

To run make clean, run this command:

docker run -v $PWD:/code iqqmut/meeting-countdown-builder make clean

To open a shell inside Docker container:

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/code iqqmut/meeting-countdown-builder /bin/bash
