build: remove outputs from repository source files, update build scripts

[ttytm]

This PR removes the build outputs and release files from the repositories source files. It keeps the Makefiles.

Like mentioned in some other places e.g. #114 it's not the preferred way of distributing build and release files.

From #143: "Nightly" pre-compiled builds can be found as release artifacts in the Actions section of the webui repository https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/actions. Similar like they are found on this PR branch action:
https://github.com/webui-dev/webui/actions/runs/5626124981?pr=143

Do you mean creating releases daily?

Let's discuss this here.
About this PR, I guess it's good to be merged as we already agreed to remove all pre-built binaries.

Nice, I'm at my phone atm. I'll see later if I can do it else tomorrow if there can be done something with the gitignore file so users get less changes in version control when they run the Makefiles themselves 🙂.

I also need to make a little update to the build.sh files due to the deleted Release directory I noticed.

The necessary files were updated, I'll add a little description to have a better record of what has changed tomorrow.

Next to removing the build outputs the .gitignore file and build scripts were updated.

Now, when the build scripts are executed the compiled files would be put into the dist/ directory - the directory name is commonly used for compiled output files (/dist "distributable", the compiled code/library). It would be created instead of the current Release directory - which was the only directory in the repository root starting with an uppercase letter.

Below I'll add some descriptions to the changes. Please let me know if changes are desired.

What I never asked: Do we even need to keep the build scripts when the releases are made available via GitHub? As they run the Makefiles and compress the outputs in a separate directory, I imagine this mainly helped the maintainers creating the releases. Maybe now it's enough to simplify it and remove the scripts. If there is a need to self-compile, users could still build the versions that fits their needs directly using the related Makefile.

Do we even need to keep the build scripts

We must keep the scripts, as makefile compile the library only. While the build scripts compile the library, copy binaries to all examples folder, copy include files to examples and copy binaries to the dist folder.

Thanks for your reply @AlbertShown.

I see that it's good to keep them. The updates that are made to them here can then serve a good purpose as well. I would merge this then, if I may.
