1. cmake .
2. make

You can run the resulting panel-pop binary straight from the source tree (it finds assets/ and reads/writes panelpop.ini in the current directory).

To install system-wide:

cmake -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
cmake --build build
sudo cmake --install build

This installs the assets under /usr/share/panel-pop, a desktop entry and an icon. When installed, the config file lives in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/panel-pop (typically ~/.config/panel-pop/panelpop.ini); a panelpop.ini in the working directory still takes precedence if present.

The panel-pop-git package is maintained in a separate repository:

git clone https://github.com/a544jh/panel-pop-git.git
cd panel-pop-git
makepkg -si

It is not on the AUR yet.

1. cmake
2. make

Install https://nuwen.net/mingw.htm and then overwrite/copy ALL files from each SDL dependency's 64-bit MinGW development distribution's lib and include folders into the MinGW installation's respective folders.

1. cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_SH="CMAKE_SH-NOTFOUND"
2. make
