Output:

• Published files: artifacts/publish/win-x64
• Installer: artifacts/installer

Linux package (linux-x64)

pwsh ./scripts/package.ps1 -RuntimeIdentifier linux-x64 -Version 1.0.1

Optional script flags

# Publish only (skip Windows installer step)
.\scripts\package.ps1 -RuntimeIdentifier win-x64 -SkipInstaller

# Publish only (skip Linux/macOS zip package step)
pwsh ./scripts/package.ps1 -RuntimeIdentifier linux-x64 -SkipArchive

Runtime dependency notes

• Linux build does not bundle a native libvlc package from NuGet.
  • Install VLC runtime on target machine, for example:
    • Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install vlc libvlc-dev
• macOS packaging target in CI is currently osx-x64.

CI workflow

• Workflow file: .github/workflows/windows-ci.yml
• Workflow name: Desktop CI

Jobs:

• Validate Build (Windows) runs on every push and pull request.
• Package jobs run on manual trigger or v* tag push:
  • Package Windows (win-x64 installer)
  • Package Linux (linux-x64 zip)
  • Package macOS (osx-x64 zip)

Trigger manual packaging

1. Open GitHub Actions.
2. Choose Desktop CI.
3. Click Run workflow.
4. Optional: set version input, for example 1.0.1.

Trigger by tag

git tag v1.0.1
git push origin v1.0.1
