The Xfce development tools are a collection of tools and macros for Xfce developers and people that want to build Xfce from git. In addition, it contains the Xfce developer's handbook.
This project also contains the code to build and deploy xfce-build to the xfce-build area on Docker Hub. This container is the build environment used by Xfce to build the various projects. It can also be used as your own build environment as follows:
docker run --rm -u $(id -u ${USER}):$(id -g ${USER}) \
--volume $(pwd):/tmp xfce/xfce-build:master /bin/bash \
-c "cd /tmp; ./autogen.sh && make distcheck"The steps to build the container are encoded in the Dockerfile in
this repository, and is built via the build job in .gitlab-ci.yml.
The CI folder contains the build_project.yml template for building the various
Xfce projects, as well as supporting scripts such as build_libs.sh which handles
building any needed dependencies. This helps us avoid repeating the same build
code in each project.
See NEWS for details on changes and fixes made in the current release.
