Packaging

The additional files in packaging_win and packaging_macos are required for packaging to respectively the Windows and macOS platforms (after the cross-compile went successfully).

Native GTK Icon Themes

GTK icons themes we include in the Windows & macOS packages:

• Adwaita (Source: /usr/share/icons/Adwaita Linux Mint 20.x distro)
• hicolor - Used as fallback theme (Source: /usr/share/icons/hicolor Linux Mint 20.x distro)

Those all the icon themes are stored in the share/icons directory during cmake install/cpack.

Important: We clean-up unnecessary icons to reduce the package size. Do not forget to run the script: ./scripts/clean-up-icons.sh to remove all unwanted files.

Windows platform

GTK Windows 10 Theme

We include the GTK "Windows 10" theme in the Windows package. Giving LibreWeb a very native look & feel under Microsoft Windows. For that we depend on 3rd part GTK Windows 10 theme:

• Windows 10 theme
• Windows 10 icon set

Those Windows 10 theme/icon files are stored inside the respectively share/themes and share/icons directories.

Windows GTK Binary files

The following GTK binary files should be shipped together with the libreweb-browser.exe binary.

The files should be placed in the bin directory.

• gdbus.exe / dbus-daemon.exe - Creating a gdbus daemon under Windows (Source: MXE cross-build)
• gspawn-win64-helper.exe - Starting processes under Windows (Source: MXE cross-build)
• gspawn-win64-console.exe - Starting processes under Windows (Source: MXE cross-build)
• And more...

And for debugging purpose:

• gdb.exe - For debugging the binary (source: MinGW)
