## Build Dependencies
**SHORTCUT:** All the build artifacts can be produced by the description in the `.yaml` files in `.github/workflows`.
These can be run on Github's infrastructure, or on a local PC using https://github.com/nektos/act.
Windows targets will require a Windows PC!
Doing things this way deals with all the dependency issues that Windows doesn't really give you a good way to deal with automatically.
It also guarantees that the same base container and environment gets used for every build no matter what machine it runs on.
I highly recommend you use either Github CI or `nektos/act` for dev builds of this software, as it **automates literally every one of the steps**.
CI-based builds follow the `WSL` version of the instructions.
You will need `ant` and java `java` and for building the jar. You will need
`jpackage` for many of the potential build targets. I've been using Java 18
