[doc, packaging] Build instructions missing #999

Closed attila-lendvai closed 4 months ago

attila-lendvai commented 4 months ago

i made the package definition for v21.10.0 in Guix, and i'm trying to update it to v24.5.0, but i'm failing to build it.

the build process seems to have changed substantially.

i need at least some bird's eye view on how to begin, but updated docs would be even better.

i've managed to make it build using the same method as for v21.10.0 (except that i removed the now unnecessary kludge for LRELEASE, and i had to add some new dependencies).

building v23.12.0 initially failed with:

Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: qml

and the solution was to add qtdeclarative-5 as a new dependency. for whoever may get here later through a search engine...

feel free to close this bug, or to use it to track a TODO for updating the build instructions, as you see fit.
