Use when editing the Makefile, understanding build targets, or working with MAIN vs LoadBalancer build configurations.	Makefile

Makefile & Build — XC_VM

Build Variants

• MAIN (xc_vm.tar.gz): Full application — admin panel + streaming + all modules
• LoadBalancer (loadbalancer.tar.gz): Streaming-only subset — admin dirs stripped
• Installer (XC_VM.zip): Distribution package with install script

Key Variables

• MAIN_DIR = ./src — full application source
• LB_DIRS — subset of directories included in LoadBalancer build
• LB_DIRS_TO_REMOVE — admin-only paths stripped from LB builds

Rules

• Any new directory under src/ that is streaming-relevant must be added to LB_DIRS
• Any new admin-only directory must be added to LB_DIRS_TO_REMOVE
• Version hashes are generated into the archives
• Do NOT change archive naming convention without updating CI workflows
