Document `standalone_package` target #3299

Open i-ky opened 3 years ago

i-ky commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm was trying to put CodeChecker into Docker container and I ended up checking out code from GitHub and making standalone_package target instead of package, because it greatly simplifies container usage. It took me a while to find this solution, I can't recall exactly, but I believe I had to look into Makefile.

Describe the solution you would like Would be nice to document standalone_package target somewhere here. I think it is quite useful for someone who wants to install CodeChecker from source without any intentions to develop it.

Describe alternatives you have considered Unfortunately, using Snap packages in Docker container is a bit tricky.

Additional context As far as I know, WSL is not compatible with snap as well.

@i-ky Our plan is to create a pypi package from the CodeChecker too which can be used in all distributions (Linux, OSX, Windows). I already created a patch for it (#3251) and if it is merged, I will try to create an official pypi package from it which can be installed easily by using pip install codechecker command. I think this way it will be easier to install CodeChecker in Docker environment too.

Yes, that would be a nice alternative to snap for both Docker and WSL.
