If you package plchat for your distro, please let me know and I will add it here.
### MacOS
Nuitka does not support cross compilation and I have a working MacOS machine or VM, but it should theoretically compile and run just fine. Feel free to message me for support, and I'll be glad to link to your site if you host any binaries you build.

A macos binary has been provided by [~am](https://decept.org/users/am). You can find it on the releases page. Run `brew install libmagic` before running.
## Building From Source or Packaging
PlChat comes with a Makefile for compiling to a binary, but it is of course possible to run the source directly with just `python plchat.py`. The easiest way to package PlChat is just to make sure the dependencies are installed and write a script that sets the appropriate pythonpath and runs plchat.py.
Otherwise you can see below for instructions on building the binary.
### Runtime Depencies
### Runtime Dependencies
You will need the following libraries: PyQt5, Secret Service (on linux or BSD), libmagic (python-magic-bin from pypi on windows), and some codecs for qtmultimedia.
The windows codecs can be found above, and on linux you will need gstreamer and some plugins. On gentoo, `sudo emerge media-plugins/gst-plugins-base media-plugins/gst-plugins-good media-plugins/gst-plugins-bad media-plugins/gst-plugins-ugly media-plugins/gst-plugins-neon media-plugins/gst-plugins-soup media-plugins/gst-plugins-libav` should do. Other distributions are on your own.
And, obviously, a copy of python. Python3.5+ is the only thing I will support but other versions may work. End users will need the same version of python used to compile the binary. Other versions may work but this is what nuitka officially supports.
### Building
You will need the following packages from pypi: PyQt5, keyring, appdirs, python-magic(or python-magic-bin on windows), python-dateutil, requests, urllib3, and websockets.

You will also need all runtime dependencies listed above, as well as nuitka3 and a C compiler. Nuitka supports the following compilers:
