Building ToolShed 🏗️ ​

Ready to build ToolShed from source? This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step. It's easier than you might think!

What You'll Need ​

Before we dive in, make sure you have the following tools ready:

  • Make: The standard build tool (required for all platforms).
  • A C Compiler: GCC or Clang work perfectly.
  • FUSE Libraries: Essential if you want to use cocofuse.
  • LWTOOLS: Highly recommended if you plan to build firmware.

🚀 The Quick & Easy Way (Linux & macOS) ​

If you're on Linux or macOS, you're in luck! We've included a script that does the heavy lifting for you. It checks for dependencies and handles the build process automatically.

Just run:

bash
./install.sh

🛠️ The Manual Way ​

Prefer to have full control? No problem. Here is how to build manually on your favorite platform.

Linux ​

First, let's make sure you have the FUSE dependencies installed. Debian/Ubuntu:

bash
sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev

Once that's sorted, simply build and install:

bash
make all
make install

macOS ​

On macOS, we recommend using Homebrew to grab the necessary FUSE libraries.

Install macFUSE:

bash
brew install macfuse

Then, run the build commands:

bash
make all
make install

Windows ​

For Windows development, we suggest using a Unix-like environment such as MSYS2, MinGW, or WSL.

From your environment's terminal, the standard commands apply:

bash
make all
make install

Happy building!
