Description:
FEDORA MEDIA WRITER
Fedora Media Writer is a tool that helps users put Fedora images on
their portable drives such as flash disks.
It is able to automatically download the required image for them and
write them in a dd-like fashion, using either dd itself or some other
way to access the drive directly.
This overwrites the drive’s partition layout though so it also provides
a way to restore a single-partition layout with a FAT32 partition.
Troubleshooting
If you experience any problem with the application, like crashes or
errors when writing to your drives, please open an issue here on Github.
Please don’t forget to attach the FedoraMediaWriter.log file that will
appear in your Documents folder ($HOME/Documents on Linux and Mac,
C:
and the log of all events happening during the runtime.
Building
You can build FMW using the default Qt qmake build system.
Linux
You should specify the target directory using the PREFIX qmake variable.
The default prefix path is /usr/local
It can be done like this:
qmake PREFIX=/usr .
The main binary, mediawriter, will be written to $PREFIX/bin and the
helper binary can be found on the path
$PREFIX/libexec/mediawriter/helper.
Requirements
- udisks2 or storaged
- xz-libs
Windows
Building FMW in Windows is just the matter of running qmake and make.
To create a standalone package, use the windeployqt tool, included in
your Qt installation. You will probably have to include a bunch of not
included DLLs.
Requirements
- xz-libs
macOS
Again, you can just run qmake and make.
To release a standalone package, use macdeployqt, supplied with your Qt
installation.
Requirements
- xz-libs
