ISSUE TRACKER


Please do not use the issue tracker to ask questions. Both of the main
developers of Sigil monitor the Sigil Forum at
https://www.mobileread.com/forums. All questions should be directed
there.

Issue tracking is intended for discussion around issues with the code.
It is also intended for actual bug tracking and for tracking feature
requests.

Feature requests opened on the issue tracker will be closed if there
isn’t anyone willing to implement the requested feature. Only items
being worked will be left open.



LINUX BUILD AND INSTALL


For newer Linux systems like Ubuntu 16.04 (and its derivitives: like
Mint 18), or Arch Linux, or Debian Unstable, you should be able to
compile Sigil using repo-provided dependencies. Instructions for doing
so can be found in:

docs/Building_on_Linux.md (or .html)

For older Linux systems whose software repositories do not provide
Qt5.4.0 (or higher), the detailed instructions for building/installing
Sigil can be found in:

docs/Building_on_older_Linux.md (or .html)



FOR BUILDING ON MAC OS X


Building using purely XCode is no longer supported on Mac OS X. The
easiest way to build Sigil on Mac OS X is to use cmake 3.0 and the
command line.

Also because Sigil now embeds Python 3.7.X, see

docs/Building_A_Relocatable_Python_3.7_Framework_on_MacOSX.txt

for detailed instructions on how to build a fully relocatable Python
3.7.X framework before building Sigil.

Sigil uses Qt-5.11.2 currently and will move to Qt-5.12.2 for the next
release.
If you decide to use a Qt 5.6 or later version you must add back
QtWebkit to the Qt sources and build all of Qt yourself from source, see

docs/Building_Qt5_From_Source_with_QtWebkit_Added_Back_on_MacOSX.txt

And finally to build Sigil itself see:

docs/Building_Sigil_On_MacOSX.txt



FOR BUILDING ON WINDOWS


To build Sigil on Windows, see:

docs/Building_Sigil_on_Windows.md (or .html)
