Not everyone can build OpenPli using their own host system (wrong versions, unavailability of tools).
Using a virtual machine is a 'certain' means of being able to build it.

Another, (better?), option we can use nowadays is using a Docker image.
With Docker, an image can be created that works on 'any' Linux system.
Although not tested, it might also work on Windows assuming the 'linux virtualization' method is used (in essence Docker uses a linux virtual machine on Windows).
Windows 10/Windows server 2016 also support Docker natively now, but this is not what is meant here!

All information about creating and using a Docker image can be found in the attachment.
The attachment consists of a Dockerfile, which is used to create an image that can be used for building. It is based on Ubuntu 14.04 and uses the information from http://users.telenet...npliubuntu.html (except that 'zip' has been added too).
An additional automated script for building OpenPli is also included.

The Docker image supports building both 'master' and 'master-next' (the environment settings in the Dockerfile are needed for 'master-next').
