Installing build dependencies (not needed if building AUR or Snap package)

On Debian/Ubuntu

./install-deps-debian.sh

On Arch Linux

./install-deps-arch.sh

Other distros

You need the following software:

• Standard build tools
• Clang
• CMake
• libcurl
• libegl (libglvnd)
• libevdev
• libpng
• libzip
• Ninja
• OpenSSL
• Protobuf
• Qt5 development libraries
• Xorg development libraries
• zlib

Building (Install dependencies as outlined above first)

AppImage

Note: Still experimental. It may randomly fail. For best results, compile on Ubuntu with an official Qt5 installation (not using the distro's Qt5 packages).

./build-appimage.sh

This will produce mcpelauncher-thesonicmaster-<ver>-<arch>.AppImage. Execute the AppImage to run it.

Debian package

./build-deb.sh

This will produce mcpelauncher-thesonicmaster_<ver>~<os-codename>_<arch>.deb. Install it with sudo apt install ./<filename>.deb.

AUR package

makepkg -sc

This will produce mcpelauncher-thesonicmaster-<ver>-<arch>.pkg.tar.zst. Install it with sudo pacman -U ./<filename>.pkg.tar.zst.

Snap package

If this is your first time building a Snap package, you have to setup Snapcraft first. This only has to be done once, it can be skipped for subsequent builds:

sudo snap install --classic snapcraft
sudo snap install multipass

Now you can build the Snap package with the following command:

snapcraft

This will produce mcpelauncher-thesonicmaster_<ver>_<arch>.snap. Install it with sudo snap install --dangerous <filename>.snap.
