Building McStas McXtrace

Building McStas McXtrace

• Check out a working copy of our git repo at https://github.com/McStasMcXtrace/McCode . (If you then check out the mcstas-3.2-release branch and build from that, you will get a build which is functionally the same as the released McStas 3.2)
• Use the dependency-scripts/getdeps_ scripts for a good guess at needed build dependencies, but also have a look at the file BUILD_DEPS.TXT
• Use one of the top-level build scripts to start a build, such as

./buildscripts/build_macos_mcstas <version> [extra]

• <version> should be a lower-case versioning label, such as 2.6beta

• [extra] is an optional flag for the the different build scripts, used in slightly different ways depending on platform, but generally associated with generation of 'meta-packages'

Output from the build scripts will always go to the dist/ folder
