This will allow us to re-use this logic from within other python
scripts. The find_compiler.sh script still exists, as it is used by
some other bash scripts. The pick_host_compiler() function will now
execute find_compiler.py and store its result in $CC and $CXX.
Note that the python script supports Windows.
The required and recommended compiler versions are sort of scattered
across several documents. Let's list them in a single document, and
have other documents refer to that location.
The language here intentionally recommends the same compiler versions
used in CI. The find_compiler.sh script can be updated with the
minimum known good version.
When using non-BFD linkers, something about our CMake setup causes
visibility checks from GenerateExportHeader to fail when clang-scan-deps
is not found.
The provided patchelf from vcpkg is only version 0.14.3, which is too
old to produce working binaries on Fedora 42. Using that old version
causes hard to debug issues where applications segfault during startup.
A significant portion of reported build problems come from people trying
to build Ladybird with Nix, and it seems there's always something broken
for someone. The maintainers are currently not focused on supporting
Nix, and as a result PRs are not reviewed as well as they could have
been.
This removes all Nix-related files.
Add a formatter output to the flake (`nix fmt`), along with moving +
renaming the devshell so it will work by running `nix-shell` in the root
of the project.
The reason for this change is that CMake/vcpkg are unable to detect a
change to VCPKG_LIBRARY_LINKAGE. So when we switch to dynamic builds,
the switch would be non-functional, and every developer would have to
remove their Build and vcpkg cache directories manually. By changing
these directories, vcpkg is able to detect it must rebuild.
`git` and `bash` are most likely already installed, `bash` is part of
`base-system`, and `git` is required to pull the repository in the
first place, but they are not included in `base-minimal` or
`base-container`, and they ARE required for a successful build,
so I have added them regardless.
`qt6-tools-devel` and `qt6-wayland-devel` were not required to compile
and link Ladybird on my machine, but I have included them as they are
installed on the other Linux distributions.
Update the base image and the feature images
Add new packages to the install.sh command
as they are now needed by some dependencies, that are built via vcpkg
Add newer clang version, but the default stays the same
This loader supports whatever format libavformat and libavcodec can
handle. Currently only seekable streams are supported, and we still have
some limitations as to the number of channels and sample format.

This change makes all the pre-commit CI scripts runnable under Bash 3.2,
by replacing “mapfile” invocations in them code that first explicitly
creates an array, and then uses a while loop to populate the array.
Otherwise, without this change, the scripts all fail to run under Bash
3.2 — due to lack of support for “mapfile”.
Fixes https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/283
This also drops bash from the list of homebrew dependencies in the build
instructions — because with this change, homebrew bash (v4) is no longer
needed; things will now work with the Apple-provided bash (v3.2)
Trying to build VulkanLoader from source is a giant headache of
unnecessary packages. Every modern distro has vulkan packages, let's
depend on those instead of trying to build something for both wayland
and X11.
