Build it yourself 🛠️

You can build Desktop Editors from source on Windows, Linux, and macOS. This is a super-repository, so the first step is always to check out the submodules:

git clone https://github.com/Euro-Office/DesktopEditors.git
cd DesktopEditors
git submodule update --init --recursive

Then head to the build docs:

• build/ — start here for the overall build model (the shared CMake definition, the common editors payload, vcpkg, and caching).
• build/windows/ — the Windows build (build.ps1, MSVC + CMake).
• build/linux/ — the Linux build (Docker / docker buildx bake).
• build/macos/ — the macOS build (native CMake + Xcode).
