-
Icinga 2 can be built on Linux/Unix nodes and Windows clients. In order to develop patches for Icinga 2,
you should prepare your own local build environment and know how to work with C++.
-More tips:
-
-* Requirements and source code installation for Linux/Unix is explained inside the [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) file.
-* Debug requirements and GDB instructions can be found in the [documentation](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2/blob/master/doc/20-development.md).
-* If you are planning to develop and debug the Windows client, setup a Windows environment with [Visual Studio](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/community/). An example can be found in [this blogpost](https://blog.netways.de/2015/08/24/developing-icinga-2-on-windows-10-using-visual-studio-2015/).
