Packaging status

Binary releases

For convenience, for point releases, binaries are distributed. These binaries are shipped in the -binary branches and tags of this repository (see branches and tags).

For example, to clone the latest binary release of the 10.x branch, one can do:

git clone https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine.git --branch=v10.x-binary --depth=1

or, to clone a specific binary point release (for example 10.6.0):

git clone https://codeberg.org/Limine/Limine.git --branch=v10.6.0-binary --depth=1

In order to rebuild host utilities like limine, simply run make in the binary release directory.

Host utility binaries are provided for Windows.

Build and Install Instructions

The following steps are not necessary if cloning a binary release.
