#scripts folder

This folder contains a series of platform-dependent scripts to build and deploy MeshLab.

Every platform folder contains:

• 1_build.sh: a script that builds MeshLab. Requires a Qt environment properly set, with cmake accessible. Takes as inputh the build directory (default: src/build), the install directory (default: src/install) and the number of cores used to build MeshLab (default: -j4). Example of call: bash 1_build.sh --build_path=path/to/build --install_path=path/to/install -j8
• 2_deploy.sh: a script that deploys MeshLab, making sure that the folder will be a self-contained MeshLab, without Qt library dependencies. Requires a properly built MeshLab in the directory passed as an argument (default: src/install). Example of call: bash 2_deploy.sh path/to/deploy
• 3_$installer$.sh: a script that computes a platform-dependent self-contained package/installer of MeshLab. Requires a properly deployed MeshLab in the directory passed as an argument (default: src/install). The result will be saved in the parent directory of the given argument.
• make_it.sh: a script that computes all the three previous scripts: starting from the source code, it will produce a self-contained package/installer of MeshLab (arguments are the same of 1_build.sh). Example of call: bash makeit.sh --build_path=path/to/build --install_path=path/to/install -j8

Note for Windows: scripts are written in bash, therefore they should be run in a linux subsystem environment. See in each platform subfolder for details and other platform-dependent requirements:

• Linux
• MaxOS
• Windows
