 ====== Building Lilium Voyager ======

+Also note, that building for Windows x86 does not result in a build that works on Windows 9x/ME any more. You need at least XP for that to work. (But then again, if you are concerned with security issues for needing to use a more modern client, you should not use those systems either any longer.)
 ===== Linux =====
 On Linux it is possible to build for both variations, x86 and amd64. It is also possible to cross compile for Windows (32 and 64 bit), see next section for that. To compile on Linux you require the following prerequisites installed:

 If you want to compile the 32 bit version on an amd64 platform, you might also need to do these steps:
-  - ''sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386'': Activate i386 packages as well,

 ===== Cross compile for Windows via Linux =====
-For cross-compiling from Linux to Windows the MingW environment is necessary. Use something like ''sudo apt-get install mingw-w64'' for x64 or ''sudo apt-get install mingw'' for x86 Linux (here: for Debian & derived distributions...) to install it. Then run the compilation process like this:

 If you're running Mac OS 10.7 or newer you can build a x86 / x86_64 universal binary that is compatible with 10.7 or later. (Not particularly useful since all Mac OS 10.7 and later are x86_64.)

 After the build completes the output files will be in the ''build'' folder. The path would be ''C:\Cygwin\home\<nowiki><username></nowiki>\lilium-voyager\build\release-mingw32-arch'' for the default Cygwin install.

+===== Pre-Compiled Binaries =====
+As many users would find it requiring too much effort compiling Lilium Voyager themselves, pre-compiled binaries can be found [[https://www.mobile-infanterie.de/lilium-voyager/|here]]. These are builds based directly upon the Github repository, compiled by 7Saturn.
